Originally from New York City, Dr. Catherine Hannan aimed for perfection from an early age. Seeking out the best education that New York City had to offer, she was accepted to and finished first in her class at the prestigious Convent of the Sacred Heart School for Girls. She went on to earn her undergraduate degree at Yale University, majoring in both biology and music. It was during her studies at Yale in architecture and art history that she first began to appreciate both form and function and how each contributes to the definition of beauty. Dr. Catherine Hannan went on to complete her medical degree at Georgetown University School of Medicine and stayed to complete her plastic surgery residency at the Georgetown University Hospital program. As the only plastic surgery training program in Washington DC, she had the opportunity to learn from the masters of the art of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery from all over the District as well as neighboring Baltimore. During the rigorous six-year surgical residency, she honed her surgical skills and her eye for natural beauty. Dr. Catherine Hannan’s pursuit of excellence in plastic surgery is underscored by her board certifications and fellowships. In 2012, she achieved board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, solidifying her expertise and commitment to the highest standards of patient care. She is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and has lobbied on Capitol Hill with the ASPS to maintain stringent standards for plastic surgeons and advocate for breast cancer reconstruction.
