Dr. Amer H. Nassar, M.D., is a double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon serving patients from Anchorage, Palmer, Wasilla, Kenai, and communities throughout Alaska. Certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, he provides cosmetic and reconstructive care involving the face, nose, breasts, and body. His practice emphasizes individualized surgical planning, evidence-based techniques, patient safety, open communication, and results designed to complement each patient’s natural anatomy.
Dr. Nassar received his medical education at the University of Szeged in Hungary, where his practice biography reports that he graduated first in his class. He subsequently completed a senior research fellowship in New York City focused on aesthetic medicine and laser applications. He pursued general surgery residency training at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle and served as Chief Resident during his final year. Dr. Nassar then completed advanced plastic and reconstructive surgery training through Harvard Medical School at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, again serving as Chief Resident. During his Harvard training, he twice received an Academic Excellence Award for achieving the highest score on national plastic-surgery in-service examinations.
Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Nassar has contributed to cosmetic and reconstructive surgery literature through peer-reviewed research, book chapters, editorial work, and presentations at professional conferences. His published research has addressed subjects such as patient health literacy in plastic surgery and imaging technologies used in reconstructive surgical planning. He has also been identified as a co-founder and former executive director of Beauty for Freedom, a nonprofit organization supporting efforts against human trafficking. These academic and humanitarian activities reflect professional interests extending beyond the operating room.
Dr. Nassar’s principal clinical interests include facelift and neck-lift surgery, primary and revision rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, breast reconstruction, tummy tuck surgery, liposuction, and post-weight-loss body contouring. His reconstructive work includes breast reconstruction following cancer surgery, repair of facial fractures and traumatic injuries, cancer-related reconstruction, peripheral nerve surgery, and jaw reshaping. This combination of aesthetic and reconstructive experience supports a detailed understanding of anatomy, tissue preservation, structural support, symmetry, and long-term surgical planning.
A defining element of Dr. Nassar’s approach is the integration of surgical science with an artistic understanding of proportion and balance. His practice describes a consultation process built around careful listening, anatomical evaluation, realistic expectations, and treatment plans tailored to the patient rather than a standardized aesthetic ideal. Patients are encouraged to discuss their medical history, lifestyle, priorities, recovery requirements, and desired outcome before deciding whether a surgical or nonsurgical procedure is appropriate. His practice serves Anchorage and communities across Southcentral Alaska, including Palmer, Wasilla, Eagle River, Kenai, Soldotna, and surrounding regions.
