Drs. Sam Jejurikar, Salvatore Pacella, and Sam Rhee welcome special guest Dr. Ramin Behmand MD. Dr. Behmand is the only board-certified plastic surgeon to have successfully summited Mount Everest. In part 2 Dr. Behmand shows his experience in photographs as he ascends the mountain from base camp.
We talk to Dr. Behmand about his unique experience climbing Mt. Everest. In two years previous to Dr. Ramin's successful summit, nearly 40 people died in serious avalanches, the highest death rate on Everest to date. Over 300 climbers have died attempting to reach the top. Only about 5000 people have successfully reached Everest's summit since Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay first made it to the top in 1953. This singularly unique experience is riveting to hear.
Dr. Ramin Behmand began his esteemed career in cosmetic surgery at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio where he was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society. Dr. Behmand completed his plastic surgery training at the University of Michigan. Certified by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons (ASBPS), and The Rhinoplasty Society, Dr. Behmand’s expertise spans many procedures and treatments, including breast augmentation and breast lift, liposuction assisted body contouring, and facial rejuvenation. He also maintains active membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Society.
