Ahmed E. Nasser, MD

Dr. Nasser is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with Harvard-Fellowship training in Breast Reconstruction, Aesthetics and the Surgical Treatment of Migraines and Occipital Neuralgia. He is a Candidate Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) as well as a member of The Migraine Surgery Society. Dr. Nasser earned his undergraduate degree with high honors in biology from The University of Massachusetts at Amherst and then went on to complete medical school at Tufts University School of Medicine. He completed general surgery training at Stony Brook University Hospital, followed by a burn and wound care fellowship at Nassau University Medical Center. This fellowship focused on the treatment of complex wounds and advanced treatments for burn patients, drawing in patients from not only New York, but from across the country and around the world. Dr. Nasser went on to complete plastic surgery training at the Nassau University Medical Center Program, run by the Long Island Plastic Surgical Group in conjunction with Stony Brook University Hospital. He then completed an additional fellowship in Reconstructive and Aesthetic Breast Reconstruction at Harvard – Massachusetts General Hospital, with a special focus in complex revisional breast reconstruction. During that year he trained closely and was an apprentice of Dr. Austen, a world expert in migraine surgery and occipital neuralgia treatment. Dr. Nasser brings his passion for plastic surgery and commitment to excellent patient care to our practice. He hopes to help advance our practice both clinically and in a research setting, something he has great interest in. Dr. Nasser has been involved in numerous research initiatives throughout his career. This included establishing the Breast Reconstruction Database at Stony Brook University Hospital, the Cleft Lip and Palate Database at Long Island Plastic Surgical group as well as numerous clinical and basic science projects that have been presented at national and international meetings. Dr. Nasser’s areas of specialty include breast reconstruction/aesthetics, body contouring, facial aesthetics, and surgical treatment of occipital neuralgia.
