Meet Dr. Tannan

Dr. Shruti C. Tannan is a board-certified plastic surgeon with an added sub-specialty certification in hand surgery. Dr. Tannan is a long-time resident of the Triangle in North Carolina. She is proud to be an active member of both of the top-tier plastic surgery organizations in the US: The Aesthetic Society and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in addition to the North Carolina Society of Plastic Surgeons.

After graduating from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics high school in Durham, Dr. Tannan completed her undergraduate and medical school studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she was honored with numerous awards, most notably induction into the prestigious medical group, Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA). Residency training in plastic surgery took her to the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where she excelled in both technical skills and educating medical students. She received recognition there with induction into the Gold Humanism Honor Society and the School of Medicine Humanism and Excellence in Teaching Award, among other honors.

Many procedures in plastic surgery, such as breast surgery, involve complex techniques taking tissue from one part of the body and transplanting to another part. They often involve microvascular surgery using an operating microscope to sew together vessels as small as 1-2 mm. To further establish herself as an expert plastic surgeon, Dr. Tannan completed fellowship training in microvascular and hand surgery at the world-renowned Hand Center of San Antonio in Texas. There she trained with leaders in plastic, reconstructive, hand and orthopaedic surgery. Dr. Tannan is proud to serve her community and is licensed to practice medicine in the state of North Carolina.

Since graduating from fellowship in 2015, Dr. Tannan has been a practicing plastic surgeon in the Tar Heel State. In her early career, she was on the faculty at Wake Forest University in the Plastic Surgery Department, teaching the next generation of plastic and reconstructive surgeons. She ultimately chose to focus on pursuing her passion, aesthetic plastic surgery of the face and body, when she established her solo practice, Tannan Plastic Surgery, in 2017. With her all-female team, she provides the highest level of care to her patients and helps women move forward as the most confident versions of themselves. She firmly believes that plastic surgery can help you come into alignment with yourself, so that the version of you in the mirror is in alignment with what you hold in your mind’s eye. She has kept her passion for education alive on her blog, where she answers popular plastic surgery questions ranging from what to do about Menopause Belly, to where to find the best bras to wear while recovering from plastic surgery.

Meet Kristie Foushee RN

Tannan Plastic Surgery is thrilled to have Kristie Foushee on our team as our dedicated Nurse Injector. She has been a dedicated caregiver since she began volunteering at UNC Hospitals every summer as a teenager. After becoming a volunteer EMT, she went on to Nursing School and graduated 1991. Since she became a nurse, Kristie has consistently worked with surgical patients. In the first decade of her career, she worked in the UNC PACU (Post-Anesthesia Care Unit) and worked her way up to the UNC Vascular Surgery Center. With her extensive experience in vascular surgery, she naturally became incredibly proficient in treating spider veins with sclerotherapy, among other technical expertise. In 1999, Kristie became the Director of UNC Vein Clinic where she treated hundreds of patients for spider veins on the legs and face.

As a leader in Vascular Nursing, she played a critical role in setting up Vascular Programs at major medical centers including: Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, the Coastal Carolina Surgical Associates in Charleston, SC, Frye Regional Medical Center in Hickory, NC and Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Va. Through this leadership, she has been able to impact patient care all over the Southeast, so everyone can have access to excellent vascular care. She became a Certified Vascular Nurse Study Coordinator for multiple FDA clinical trials and has given presentations at national vascular surgery meetings. She is a founding member of the North Carolina Vascular Nurse Association and served as President in 2003-2004 and President Elect in 2002-2003.

In 2002 Kristie moved into the plastic surgery realm, where she discovered her true passion. In the field of plastic surgery she successfully combined her years of broad clinical nursing experiences and build on that knowledge base. She cared for surgical patients in the OR, in clinic, and in recovery. She found herself injecting veins on the face with sclerotherapy and look at adjacent wrinkles and aged skin. She started asking questions about how to treat facial aging. Naturally, this led to a keen interest in neurotoxin (botox) and filler. Ever the academic, fascinated with this new emerging field, she immersed herself in all available training and educational opportunities. She has completed the Allergan Master Course training, as well as PALETTE® (Progressive Aesthetic Learning Essential to Technical Expertise) courses with physicians and nurses from all over the country. Always pursuing additional educational opportunities, Kristie has consistently been in the Plastic Surgery field since 2002, and injecting neurotoxin and filler since 2003.

Now, at Tannan Plastic Surgery, she has sharpened her focus on her true passion: minimally invasive anti-aging techniques including dermal fillers, neurotoxins, sclerotherapy and skincare. She is sought after for injectable training sessions nationwide and is a consultant for MTF Biologics, training injectors on how to inject the biologic called Renuva. When she is outside the office, she mentors other future injectors while also advancing her own knowledge base through additional training. Working hand-in-hand with Dr. Tannan each day, she feels that she has found her place. It warms her heart to hear a patient say “You changed my world, and made me feel beautiful again.”

Dr.Tannan performed my breast reduction surgery in May of 2024. Throughout the entire process, she has been amazing. From day one, I appreciated her validating my desire for the surgery. She knew I was desperate to be scheduled as soon as possible, as I had been trying to have the surgery for nearly two years (two failed attempts at having insurance cover it). She got me on her schedule within two months of my first consultation and I was on my way to a more happy me! The surgery went smoothly and though my recovery was not quite what any of us expected (a couple of wounds on my right side opened early on and struggled to close…not her fault, these things just happen sometimes), Dr. Tannan was always a wonderful listener and validated my feelings. She sent me to a wound care specialist almost immediately because she recognized her expertise would not be the best for my care. I truly appreciate this kind of self-awareness in a medical professional and am grateful to her for knowing where I could get the best wound care. My wounds are finally healed and my new breasts look AMAZING. She did an incredible job visualizing what I asked for and shaping them into the breasts I have always wanted. I am sooo happy in my skin now and am more confident in my body than ever. Thank you for your warmth, care, and expertise Dr. Tannan!!

I can’t recommend Kristie Foushee enough! It was my first time getting lip filler with her and the entire experience was great. My results were so natural but still enough to create the look I wanted. There was absolutely no discomfort. Kristie has a gentle hand when injecting. I will definitely be returning for future touch ups. Thanks to the whole team at Tannan Plastic Surgery!

When I decided to get breast implants I was happy to find an all-female team.

Love Kristi! Botox is quick and painless. Kristi is extremely patient and answers all questions very thoroughly. When I came in saying I needed more done for my wrinkles, she went over all options with me not pushing me at all. Will continue to see her and explore options to slow down this aging process!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Tannan Plastic Surgery for Botox injections, and I couldn't be happier with my experience, thanks to Kristee Foushee. From the moment I walked in, Kristee made me feel comfortable and at ease. She took the time to thoroughly explain the Botox process, ensuring I understood each step and what to expect.What impressed me the most was Kristee's attentiveness to my needs and feedback. She listened carefully to my concerns and tailored the treatment to achieve the best possible results. Her professionalism and expertise were evident, and I felt confident in her care.The results exceeded my expectations, leaving me with a refreshed and natural look.

I am 52 y/o and have been going to Kristie at Dr. Tannan’s office for years. She is the absolute best with toxins and fillers. She is meticulous and gives a very natural result. Also, I had three Morpheus 8 treatments over the course of several months. Final results can be noticed at the six-month mark. My jawline is very much improved and the sagging skin at my neck has definitely tightened up. The treatment is a little painful, but definitely worth it as the results are fantastic! I would highly recommend visiting Dr. Tannan’s office for any aesthetic or cosmetic surgery needs.

Shelly Steele

05:32 08 Jul 24

had a great experience with Kristie! She was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable and explained everything she was going to be doing step by step . She knew I was very nervous and this was my first time getting lip filler. She gave me a mirror and said we are doing this together and she would ask for my input along the way. I wanted a very natural look and that’s what I got. Kristie was amazing!! The staff were very pleasant and the office was lovely.

I highly recommend Tannan Plastic Surgery. My surgery was a decision that took some time to act on, and Dr. Tannan took the time to talk through everything and not pressure me to move forward until the time was right for me. Her honesty and candor coupled with her caring and compassion convinced me she was the right surgeon to entrust with my procedure. The results are better than I expected and I’m so glad I went ahead with the procedure. The only regret I have is that I didn’t do it sooner! Dr. Tannan and her entire team were wonderful from my initial visit to follow up and are always available to answer questions. They provide the highest level of care in a safe and friendly atmosphere.Thank you Dr. Tannan, Grashi, Yoli, and Heather for making this a wonderful experience!

I consulted with Dr Tannan for a brow lift and upper blepharoplasty. I was looking for a caring female surgeon and that’s exactly what I found with Dr Tannan. She took the time to listen to my concerns as we discussed the procedures and options for the brow lift as well as her recommendations for the best outcomes. We discussed healing time, the support I would need, and long term expectations. She provided me with all of the information I needed to make my decision.I had a pre-op call with the anesthetist who also took the time to explain what I could expect and asked me a series of questions so she could provide me with the best care. I met with both Dr Tannan and the anesthetist as well as the nurse on the day of my surgery to go over everything and answer any final questions.The procedure went smoothly and I didn’t have any complications with the procedure or during the healing process. I followed their directions and, with a good neck support pillow for use while in my recliner, I was able to rest and heal.I’m now over a year post surgery and very satisfied with the results! My eyelids are no longer droopy and I don’t have that perpetual tired look. The scar is buried in my hairline and both my brow lift and bplepharoplasty have provided me with the results I was looking for. I highly recommend Dr Tannan and her all-female staff for the quality of work, as well as the consultative and caring approach they provide to each individual patient.

Dr. Tannan helped me a few years ago - even today I still think about my wonderful experience with her and her team. Never once did they make me feel uncomfortable or judged.

Dr. Tannan's work was amazing and has greatly improved my life.Forever grateful to have had her as a doctor.

I had a fabulous experience at Tannan Plastic Surgery and Morpheus a few months ago. I am not easily swayed to do procedures and am skeptical with lasers. Kristie & Dr Tannan gave me a result I would go back for in a minute.Most people think Morpheus is painful but with Kristie, it wasn’t. They use a great numbing agent. The results after 3 treatments were worth it and I would totally recommend for tightening & the skin quality. The office staff were knowledgeable & kind. Thank you for a great experience!

I was recommended to Dr. Tannan by a coworker and immediately knew she was the one! I knew I wanted breast implants for years especially after breastfeeding 3 times. She was so patient and informative during the entire process and her team made everything so easy for me. Her new surgical suite is state of the art and I am honored to have been her first patient in their new space! I love everything about my new breasts especially how natural they look!

I recently underwent a breast reduction performed by Dr. Tannan and her amazing team. All throughout the initial consultation and the post-operative care, Dr. Tannan was professional, informative, and available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Her genuine concern for my well-being and for my satisfaction with the results were a comfort throughout the whole process. I felt she actively listened to my wishes and worked with me to decide on a realistic plan to get me there. Just as importantly, she is very kind and down-to-earth and made me feel comfortable in her presence.

I put off having breast reduction surgery for too many years until I found Dr.Tannan through a friend’s referral. In spite of my advanced age (77) Dr. Tannan was always so reassuring that it gave me the confidence to proceed. The entire process from consultation to post surgery has been an extremely positive experience. I could not be happier with the results. I feel years younger and more confident in the way I look and feel, whether it’s in the gym or at a party. Although health and fitness are important, don’t let age be the defining factor in your decision. I only wish that I had found this wonderful all female practice years ago.

If you are looking for a place that is personal, caring, and full of extremely talented women Tannan Plastic Surgery is that place.From Yoli taking the time to answer all of your questions and providing wonderful information/resources, to Kristi working her magic on those frown lines, to Grashy ALWAYS going above and beyond to make sure you have the best care possible this practice surpassed all of my expectations!Dr Tannan...where to start...she is absolutely incredible. If your goal is beautiful, natural, results that are perfectly tailored to your body and life style then she is the surgeon you want. Her work speaks for itself. No seriously, look at her photos and an other practice's. There is a clear difference in natural aesthetic, attention to detail and minimal scaring.Tannan Plastic Surgery is the only practice I would recommend!

Tiffany Kanak

16:45 08 Oct 23

Dr. Tannan is a lovely and skilled surgeon. For many years I carried daily embarrassment and frustration with my implants. I was young and didn't understand the trade-offs or impact it would have on my sense of self. Over time I saw multiple doctors looking for what to do next. Each time I'd hear the suggestion to keep the implants and go smaller I'd feel a deep sadness and not return. I didn't want to spend more money on something I didn't identify well with.Finally, I found Dr. Tannan - she was the first doctor I felt understood women like me. She gave me the confidence that I could return to my natural self and look more beautiful than ever. She was right! She did an amazing job and the results are better than imagined.I'm not the easiest patient and had many fears/anxiety due the to lack of empathy experienced with my previous surgeon. Dr. Tannan's demeanor was so calming and caring. I felt in good hands and that she truly cared about me and obtaining the best results possible. I am eternally grateful - she has given me my peace of mind back.

Nicole Richards

12:15 01 Oct 23

Kristie is absolutely awesome! The instant results are very satisfying. Her experience and ability to target the right spots for fantastic results keep us coming back. We have been with Kristie for years and she amazes every time. We are so pleased with her skills that we drive for 1 1/2 hours, one way, just to see her and will never go elsewhere!

Brittany Daniel Long

Dr. Tannan and her staff did a fantastic job from start to finish during my experience with them. They are friendly and warm and provide you with outstanding care. I had a tummy tuck done and the results are phenomenal. I had a 7cm muscle separation from having 3 kids and 2 of them being delivered by cesarean. She sewed my destroyed muscles back together and removed 4 pounds of excess skin and fat as well as performed flank liposuction. The level of detail and service they provide is above and beyond. They have exceeded all expectations. Look no further for a plastic surgeon Dr. Tannan is the best!

20:26 18 Sep 23

I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Tannan and her team. I had been thinking about a breast reduction/lift for years before I finally felt comfortable enough to start looking for surgeons. One of the biggest draws for me to Tannan Plastic Surgery was Dr. Tannan herself. I had been following her blog and socials for a couple of years, and her commitment to safety, expectation transparency, and passion to helping her patients made Dr. Tannan an obvious choice.My overall experience from consultation to surgery to post-op was amazing! I absolutely love my results and am so glad I chose to take this step with Dr. Tannan and her amazing staff.

Lindsey Rice

15:40 08 May 23

My experience with Dr. Tannan was nothing short of amazing. From my first consultation for a breast reduction and lift I knew she was the surgeon for me, she immediately put all my nerves to rest because I felt confident she knew exactly what result I was looking for. And she is so incredibly talented- I could not be anymore happy with the results, and I’m not even 8 weeks out from my surgery. I could not recommend Dr. Tannan and her team any more highly!

Kristin Miller

21:07 03 May 23

Before I decided to have my procedure, I researched tons of doctors. One of the reasons I chose Dr. Tannan is the all-female staff. Who knows a woman better than other women! She did not rush through my consultation or treat me as a dollar sign. She helped me understand exactly what happened to my body after having children and how to fix it. It was refreshing to have a doctor understand where you are coming from, as she is a mother as well. The communication from her staff is top notch. They answer every email, text and phone call and never make you feel like a burden. The care and attention you receive makes you feel like you are part of their family. I will recommend Dr. Tannan and her staff to anyone.

I had the most positive experience with Dr. Tannan for my breast reduction surgery. I found her by browsing for surgeons and looking at online before and after photos. I could see myself in her patients, which is something I hadn’t seen in 15 years of looking. I was inspired to call. The consult was simple, she is highly knowledgeable in her field, and is personable. The recovery was easier than anticipated and my scars are minimal (more minimal than anticipated). What started as a journey to get rid of my headaches and chronic back pain, turned into all that and an appearance that looks natural with amazing precision. I highly recommend her for your procedures.
