Dr. Indeyeva became fascinated with the complex anatomy of the head and neck region early on in her medical school years, which led her to choose Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency. During the early years of her residency training, Dr. Indeyeva became interested in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery for its ability to lift spirits and improve patients’ quality of life. As she spent countless hours correcting the disfigurements and loss of function resulting from cancer resections or injuries, she noticed how those patients felt at odds with their appearance. This dissociation affected their interactions with others, as well as their outlook on life in general. As a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Indeyeva aimed to apply her meticulous surgical skills to enhance lives, elevate confidence, and enable her patients to look and feel their best at any age.
For undergraduate studies, Dr. Indeyeva attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA, on an academic scholarship. She was accepted into Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine through an Early Admission Program in the Honors College. In medical school, Dr. Indeyeva was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. She went on to complete her 5-year residency training in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, then pursued further specialized training (fellowship) in facial plastic in reconstructive surgery. Dr. Indeyeva later obtained double board certification in both otolaryngology (head and neck surgery) and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
