She recently relocated from Cincinnati, Ohio where she was seen as a progressive and leading plastic surgeon and has repeatedly been voted “Top Doc” in plastic and reconstructive surgery by her peers (Cincinnati Magazine). As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Butterfield takes great pride in her surgical outcomes and views her work as the “surgical art” of possibilities.

Dr. Butterfield received a Bachelor of Science degree at Duke University. During this time, she also studied Fine Art and initially considered a career as a medical artist.

She attended the University of Cincinnati for her integrated residency in plastic and reconstructive surgery, completing 3 years of general surgery training and 3 years of plastic surgery training.
