Don’t take our word for it — confirm Dr. Alissa M. Shulman’s credentials and dig into the specialty yourself.
Dr. Alissa M. Shulman is a board-certified plastic surgeon who founded her solo practice, Sovereign Plastic Surgery, in Sarasota in 2009. She earned dual degrees in anatomy and fine arts (sculpture) with honors from SUNY at Buffalo, attended the SUNY Buffalo School of Medicine, completed general surgery internship and residency at the University of Texas School of Medicine at Houston, and trained further in a microsurgery research/teaching fellowship and a clinical burn surgery fellowship there. She concentrates her practice on body and breast sculpting procedures 'from the neck down,' drawing on her background as a sculptor to emphasize proportion and aesthetics. Her professional standing is reflected by her leadership at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, where she served as the first female Chief of Surgery (2015-2016), is Section Chief of Plastic Surgery, and was named the hospital's 2016 Physician of the Year. As a female surgeon running an independent practice, she is positioned as a body-contouring and cosmetic breast specialist.
