A Kansas City native, Dr. Cannova attended Pembroke Country Day School and earned his undergraduate and medical degree from University of Missouri-Kansas City.
Dr. Cannova discovered his desire to become a plastic surgeon during his general surgery residency at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio. As a resident, the doctor saw firsthand the transformation plastic and reconstructive surgery could make in a patient’s life and decided to pursue this as his career.
Later, as he trained at the Medical University of South Carolina, he was exposed to the full gamut of plastic surgery procedures and techniques. Highly regarded as an expert in his field, Dr. Cannova has both presented and been published in the area of plastic surgery. In 1998, he was happy to return to the Kansas City area and serve his hometown. He and his family reside in Leawood.
