Background and training
The training behind your care.
Dr. Nellie Movtchan is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Scottsdale. Her results rest on structural planning and exact technique, in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery alike.
Before medicine, she studied economics at the University of Chicago and worked in quantitative trading and portfolio management. She brings the same analytical habits to the operating room: measuring carefully, planning each step and weighing how tissues move and settle in three dimensions.
Training
Where her surgical foundation was built.
Her training took place in demanding reconstructive and microsurgical programs. The delicate tissue handling and nerve alignment she practiced there now shape her cosmetic work too, with lifts that rely on deeper structures and closures planned to keep tension off the skin.
- Integrated plastic surgery residency, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix: six years of training in reconstructive surgery, aesthetic facial analysis and complex tissue rearrangement.
- Hand and microsurgery fellowship, The Buncke Clinic, San Francisco: surgery under the operating microscope on vessels and nerves smaller than a millimeter.
- Doctor of Medicine, Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
