About Kim Ragone:
Kim Ragone has worked with Dr. Bucky since 2000. Kimmi is the
Director of Skin Care and Injectable Services, as well as being a
clinical nurse. Her extensive plastic surgery experience provided her
with the foundation to become a superb nurse and nurse injector. She led
our OR team in caring for cosmetic and reconstructive patients during
their surgical experience.
Kim transitioned from the operating room to the office setting and
became a clinical aesthetician. She treated patients with a wide variety
of techniques including microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser resurfacing. Armed with expertise in the entire spectrum of plastic surgery, she became certified as a clinical nurse injector for BOTOX®
Cosmetic and dermal fillers. Her plastic surgery and skin care
education—combined with her ‘aesthetic eye’ and her soft touch—have made
her ideally suited to be an excellent injector. Kimmi has developed
advanced techniques under the guidance of Dr. Bucky and other leaders in
the field. Her background with both surgical and non-surgical
procedures provides the basis for expert consultations.
Kimmi received her Bachelor of Science Degree from Thomas Jefferson
University and sees patients at our city office. Over the last two
years, Kim taught other nurses and physicians the art and science of
clinical injection techniques. Kimmi has instructed the Penn Plastic
Surgery residents on the art and science of fillers and Botox®.
She has also been an invited lecturer for the Society of Plastic
Surgical Skincare Specialists on Advanced Injection Techniques and the
Pearls and Pitfalls of Injecting.
“The thing I like best about injecting is the wow effect—I love it!
The immediate result the patient can appreciate from the treatment chair
is amazing. The patient walks out of the office feeling and looking
good.”
