Dr. Altman conducted his residency, earning the chief resident position, in General Surgery/ Trauma and Critical Care at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/ Morristown. He continued to hone his skills by completing a highly sought-after fellowship in Plastic Surgery at Wayne State University Medical Center in Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Altman continued his quest to further refine his technique at the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan where he developed not only his ample surgical skillset but also his true passion for improving the lives of patients through aesthetic surgery. Training with some of the finest aesthetic surgeons in the country Dr. Altman obtained an unparalleled appreciation for the diverse array of cosmetic procedures and a keen eye for detail.

When he returned to New Jersey in 2005 he opened his private practice and quickly recognized the positive impacts to his patients from non-operative methods of facial rejuvenation and body contouring. Conducting painstaking research and selecting only the most effective non-surgical treatment offerings to complement his surgical practice the Altman Aesthetic Center quickly developed into one of the country’s leading institutions for non-operative procedures. Listening closely to his patients’ concerns, he was determined to provide only treatments that were certain to achieve their desired outcomes. Dr. Altman is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

His views are best expressed by a statement he made to Plastic Surgery Practice in 2011

“As plastic surgeons, we have a tremendous power and obligation to do the right thing,” and added “It’s a huge honor to be trusted by someone in this fashion, an honor that should never be taken lightly or for granted.”
