Our Nurse Injectors

Lisa Holloway
Certified Plastic Surgical Nurse

Philadelphia Plastic Surgery Nurse Lisa Holloway

Lisa Holloway has worked with Dr. Bucky since 1996, and has an extensive and unique relationship with the practice. Lisa has grown with Dr. Bucky’s practice. She is a certified nurse-injector and has an extremely active Botox and facial filler practice. Lisa is now regionally recognized as a leader in Botox and injectables, and frequently educates physicians and nurses on Botox and filler techniques. Lisa graduated with her Bachelor of Science from the University of Virginia.

Lisa sees patients for Botox and filler treatments in both Ardmore and Philadelphia throughout the week.

“The effects are usually immediate and the little down time works well for busy people. If appropriate assessment and time is taken it is a pleasant experience for both the patient and me. Small changes for many patients translate to big changes in how they feel about their appearance and sometimes just introducing them to the options also available is helpful and educational” – Lisa Hollaway, BSN, RN

Kim Ragone

Philadelphia Plastic Surgery Nurse Valerie Dail

Kim Ragone has worked with Dr. Bucky since 2000. Kim’s extensive plastic surgery experience provided her with the foundation to become a superb injector. She led Dr.Bucky’s OR team in caring for cosmetic and reconstructive patients during their surgery 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 services. Armed with expertise in the entire spectrum of plastic surgery, she became certified as a clinical nurse injector for Botox and dermal fillers. Kim’s plastic surgery and skin care education, combined with her ‘aesthetic eye’ and her soft touch made her ideally suited to be an excellent injector. Kimmi developed advanced techniques under the guidance of Dr. Bucky and other leaders in the field. In addition, her background with both surgical and non surgical procedures provides the basis for expert consultations. Kim formally teaches other nurses and physicians the entire spectrum of injection techniques. She annually instructs the residents at the University of Pennsylvania on the principles and technique of Botox and filler injections. Kim was recently an invited lecturer at the Society of Plastic Surgery Skin Care Specialists on Botox and fillers. Kim has particular expertise in the use of Radiesse as a filler for facial and hand rejuvenation. Kim sees patients for consultation and treatment on weekends at Dr. Bucky’s office.

“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.” – Kim Ragone, BSN, RN
