Dr. Sophie Bartisch, MD - Plastic Surgery

I was born and raised in New York City and educated in the French school system at the Lycée Français de New York. Growing up in a multi-cultural home, I learned early on to appreciate an international aesthetic. Groomed for the sciences from an early age, I completed the French Baccalauréat degree in biology at the Lycée, then shifted focus in college to broaden my horizons. I ultimately pursued an undergraduate degree in psychology at Cornell University, with a focus on behavior and interpersonal relationships, while exploring the arts. Compelled by a growing interest in design, I attended the world renowned Parsons School of Design while working at the fashion house of Calvin Klein. This was followed by a period of study abroad in foreign language and art centered around classic and modern Italian history. I practiced jewelry making and familiarized myself with contemporary artists, while traveling and gaining new perspectives. Ultimately, my focus on design ranged from fashion to architecture, with a focus on balance and natural aesthetics. Realizing that I did want to become a physician after all, I completed my premedical studies at Columbia University and a medical degree at the Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. I was accepted into the independent program in Plastic Surgery at New York Presbyterian Hospital, where I trained at a wide range of top ranked academic institutions in Manhattan. doctors performing surgeryIn 2013, I became an assistant clinical professor of surgery at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York Presbyterian Hospital Medical Center, where I train medical students and residents on a regular basis. My research focus is cosmetic breast surgery. This began with work on implant-based complications that I performed as a resident in 2010. This research won two awards at the national Aesthetic Meeting in 2011, and ultimately became the basis my current academic endeavors. Today, I am engaged in the development and promotion of better breast implants, as well as the eradication of breast cancer through inoculation against the Human Mammary Tumor Virus. Published in several peer-reviewed journals, I continue to pursue my research interests, and to speak among my colleagues at local and national conferences.
