Dr. Ramtin Kassir: Ruler of the Rhinoplasty T riple certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the American Board of Otolaryngology, and the American Board of Sleep Medicine, Dr. Ramtin Kassir has been impressing patients with his precision and talent for decades. Aer graduating from the University of Texas at Austin, and completing medical school and a Residency in Otolaryngology from the University of Texas Medical Branch, Dr. Kassir went on to the University of South Florida for a Fellowship in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is considered a sculptor and artist through his plastic and reconstructive surgery due to his pristine cra and extensive practice in his skill set. Opening his New Jersey practice 24 years ago, Dr. Kassir has wide-ranging experience in facial plastic and cosmetic surgery, endoscopic surgery, and laser surgery. Without social media when Dr. Kassir began practicing, he relied solely on providing great service and results to get the word out about his practice and procedures. In 1997, only doctors were allowed to perform laser hair removal procedures and Dr. Kassir had the only laser hair removal machine in New Jersey, putting him on the map in a non-surgical aspect, and forming a big following for him. When he first opened his practice, Dr. Kassir mainly used plastic surgery as a way to solve medical issues such as fixing the noses of patients who suffered from breathing problems and performing reconstructive surgeries on those who underwent skin cancer treatments. Cosmetic surgeries for aesthetic purposes were just starting to take off, and Dr. Kassir was at the forefront of the industry. Having the opportunity to work with different lasers, injectables, and Botox before they were FDA approved served as an advantage to Dr. Kassir who was gaining experience that other surgeons were not. ere are many different products available overseas before they are brought to the United States so Dr. Kassir will work with these products where they are developed so he will be proficient with them when they are introduced to the states. When Dr. Kassir began working with injectables, they were mostly collagen but in 2002, Botox and fillers were approved and there are now four different Botox equivalents. Dr. Kassir grew his clientele by using his precise cra and delivering optimal results, not through advertisements. "If you are great at something and really deliver great results, people will find you," said Dr. Kassir. BY BRIANNA ROBERTIELLO V U E N J . C O M 72
