Lisa Cassileth, MD

Dr. Cassileth is a life changer. SHE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. I could never have imagined my body looking the way it does if it were not for her. I feel blessed that I found her even though it was a terrible situation that forced me to look for a second opinion in the first place, but things happen for a reason. It started with implants put in ten years ago due to a birth deformity, and after about ten years they eventually displaced into my armpits and bottomed out. So I went to a surgeon who I believed was a good reconstructive breast surgeon to fix them. (Not Dr. Cassileth). It was not a good experience from the beginning; a cold office manager and a cold surgeon. But I didn’t want to judge her skills based off personality so I went with her anyway. Several complications followed and eventually I was rejecting/​got an infection from a scaffold that was put in. I felt very alone and very scared. My breasts were once again deformed from being capsulated and anytime I went off antibiotics, I became mildly ill and was in pain where the scaffold was. It was bulging out of me and there was no sense of urgency to help from this other surgeon. I researched for a second opinion and Dr. Cassileth’s name kept coming up. I finally called the office and from the first few times I talked to both Katie and Desiree, I KNEW this was where I needed to go. They never even met me and expressed such sincere urgency for me to get me a consultation. It was the first time I felt a sense of any relief in months. I met Dr. Cassileth and she took one look, knew exactly what was wrong, what to do, and without making me feel worried or scared, had a sense of urgency of the importance that I needed these implants and scaffold out of my body very soon. Surgery was a complicated surgery but her office and Lisa supported me every step of the way. I feel so welcome every time I walk into their office. Dr. Cassileth is brilliant and a genius. Confident, not cocky. She knows what is right for your body and for your shape. (She downsized the implants and did some fat grafting-​I look so much more natural). As a PLUS-​she is also funny, nice, personable, and just so human! I felt really neglected from my last surgeon and Lisa really was so sensitive toward what had happened to me. I even had a personal nurse for aftercare. Carol Lee is literally THE BEST and was ALWAYS there when I needed her. I love EVERYONE in this office and I recommend getting surgery here for any of your needs because I guarantee an amazing experience. 1000% satisfied.

Dr. Cassileth is incredible. Like insanely incredible. I had a procedure done with her in March 2014 (had my implants taken out and an interior lift– there’s literally no scarring– she’s a wizard) and the results are still amazing. When every doctor before her told me that it couldn’t be done, she came and made it happen. Perhaps because they were all men and she was a woman? Lol. It was not cheap in fact it was 16,000… but that’s because she’s the best. Dr. Cassileth also has a wonderful personality she’s super funny and compassionate but most importantly, she listens!

Beyond AMAZING from beginning to end. I had to have an a very difficult and long revision surgery and Dr. Cassileth and her team were just awesome. Then to replace my crazy situation she put in a size that was appropriate for my frame. She was right, this size looks natural and feels so natural. I have had a to have other surgeries both elective and non-​elective. I honestly felt completely fine and off of pain meds in 3 days. I would just take one Tylenol if I needed it. Dr. Casilleth provides her own nurse to come to your home or recovery center to check on you a few times to makes sure your looking good. It’s so wonderful how well they take care of you. I’ve never experienced such personal care with any other office unless I’ve specifically paid for it like my personal concierge physician. Dr. Casilleth’s office did recommend I stay in a after care place over night. They like Serenity and I spent 3 nights and it was worth it. So if you book a surgery definitely book 2 nights right away because they are busy. The nurses at Serenity love Dr. Casilleth and really take incredible care of you.
Another fabulous thing. Which was such a fun surprise is Dr. Casilleth gives her patients the coolest canvas bag filled with full size amazing products, books, mags etc… things to help make your recovery a little more enjoyable. It really was just such a nice surprise to see that in my room when I woke up. I can go on on… anyway. She has a spectacular Staff Kaitlin Kane, is fantastic and helps with so many things, love Jane and Claudia, and Desiree will always greet you with a smile and she is so sweet. Sonya Pasamonte is so lovely and you never feel any pressure from anyone. I’ve been to other offices where people in Sonya’s position unfortunately come off has trying to hustle you. Sonya really is the furthest thing from that… Adore her. Carol Lee was a Godsend those first 3days. She came to Serenity and came to my house. She was able to secure me my extra night at Serenity. I Iove her.
I will go to this office for everything in the future. I can’t say enough of how grateful I am for them and how fantastic they are…

It can’t be said often or loud enough: Dr. Cassileth and her staff are absolutely superb! After meeting her for the first time, I knew that she was the right doctor to perform my bilateral breast reconstruction surgery –Double Masectomy. Surgeons are not always known for their sparkling personalities, but Dr. Cassileth made me immediately comfortable with her friendly, professional, and down-​to-​earth attitude. She made sure that I was well informed and understood my options, but did not pressure me in any way. The results of my surgery and the follow-​up that she provided have been outstanding. Her staff is friendly and they make everything from insurance issues to scheduling as easy and pleasurable as possible. Having to deal with the aesthics and effects of breast cancer was a major decision for me and for anyone for that matter. I was told by several plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills that I was not a good candidate for direct implants, thanks to Dr. Cassileth, they were proven wrong! I wouldn’t change a thing and will be forever grateful to her and her staff!

From start to finish the experience was 100+ stars. The staff Claudia, Kathy, and Jade were warm, welcoming, and there throughout the entire process! The work performed by Dr. Killeen was amazing! I never wanted to look 20 again. just the best 46 I could!!! And she did it!!! I cannot speak highly enough of the entire group!!!

With in depth gratitude I write this review. I would give them ten stars or 100 stars if I could!
We went here for a breast reduction for my teenaged daughter, which actually was pre-​approved by our insurance as a medical necessity.
Dr. Killeen was absolutely exceptional in her treatment and the results were beautiful. My daughter is very pleased with the care and results. It has changed her entire outlook, self-​confidence, and has given her back the ability to live her life and go about her day comfortably.
First we went for a consultation, then separate blood work. The day of the surgery you go next door to the surgery center. The care there was absolutely wonderful and I want to thank everyone there. They were always available for my many, many questions on the phone too. The nursing staff were very dedicated.
The were no complications the night of the surgery. My daughter reported minimal pain and said actually it was three days of being cautious and careful but not really that uncomfortable.
The day after we went in for a checkup. Then a month afterwards. Both appointments rendered very positive results.
There is valet parking downstairs from the building and parking across the street.
Our family will always be thankful for the EXCELLENT treatment, and the resultant positivity my daughter has enjoyed from the result of surgery here.
The staff and billing need to be commended for their professionalism also. Especially Monica!

I am 36 years old, a mother of 3. I had tummy tuck and rectus diastasis repaired by dr Cassileth. it’s been a little over since I had this done. All I can say is PERFECTION! I feel great, more confident in my own skin! I feel like I have my body back. She changed my life immensely. I feel better wearing tight dresses and look even better with gym clothes. I no longer get asked «are you pregnant?»
I cannot recommend dr C and her team enough for such great work and pride in what they do!

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 28 and I am so lucky to have found Dr. Cassileth and her team of truly amazing women. They made me whole. I could have easily ended up like the vast majority of women who need mastectomies, completely scarred with a year of painful reconstruction and less-​than-​pleasing results. Instead, Dr. Cassileth performed a one-​step procedure that allowed me to go into surgery with my natural breasts and awake to implants. With only three days in care I have hidden scars (in the creases under my breasts), my original (and responsive) nipples and very naturally shaped breasts. She gave me tear-​drop shaped implants so that after having advanced breast cancer, I have better breasts than even my girlfriends that had augmentations! I am so happy to put the whole ordeal of having cancer completely behind me and move forward with beautiful breasts, thanks to Lisa Cassileth and her team. I am so pleased with my results, and I have gained a great group of friends in that office as the cherry on top! Love you girls!

I went in to have my implants removed and a lift performed. Dr. Cassileth exceeded my expectations on every level. She was caring, compassionate and never rushed through our visits. Her staff was warm, friendly and accommodating. I had a few bumps in the road due to an allergy I ended up having to the surgical mesh used during the lift procedure and she dealt with the problem swiftly and thoroughly. I can’t recommend her enough! She also sends you home with a nice swag bag after your operation.

I went to see Sherry Sanvictores at Lisa Cassileth’s office. She did a perfect assessment of my face and determined what I needed. Sherry does great injectables. Her work was subtle and beautiful. Almost no discomfort and amazing results. She is an artist. I will be going back.

Dr. Lisa Cassileth’s lipo technique was excellent. She took fat from several areas — abs, inner thigh, waistline and undersrms. She was fastidious in her placement of incisions within existing scars. Each of these incisions was smaller than a pencil eraser. Her sculpting technique resulted in great contours. I would highly recommend her for liposuction as well.

I got a peel about 2 weeks ago here. The office was lovely and the staff were very friendly. I peeled a lot on the lower part of my face initially, it looked like I had a skin beard. (I know gross) Then the rest of my face continued to peel not as intensely but consistently for another week. I feel like my skin looks better and some dark spots appear lighter. I’m glad I did it!

I absolutely love Dr. Cassileth. I lost so much weight and had a lot of loose skin and needed to get this corrected. I went to Dr. Cassileth to get an Abdominoplasty. I had heard horror stories online about getting abdominoplasties and how painful the recovery would be. So I was very scared about getting this surgery. The staff was amazing and friendly. The doctor very caring and took time to answer all my questions. I decided to have this surgery done. I cannot even express how wonderful the recovery was. I had no problems, there was hardly any pain. I honestly think that it is the work of the surgeon that determines your recovery. She did such an awesome job. The scar is beautiful and hardly noticeable. She also fixed my muscles and if I had to do this surgery again, I would in a heart beat. She is a great surgeon and would recommend her to everyone!

If you want to look gorgeous and natural… see Shea Kaplan PA-​C at Dr. Lisa’s office. Her steady hand and expert injections will leave you feeling refreshed and lovely. I had some deep lines filled in — in honor of my 50^th birthday (see the stunning photo in the white dress… 2 weeks after my injections) and not only did I look sensational… I had no pain and no bruising. And best of all… no one knew. Until now :)

I come here for laser hair removal, facial injections and most recently Liposonix. What can I say, I love this place! From the front office to the back I am treated with excellent attention to detail customer service. Thank you Lauren and Victoria for being so sweet and always accommodating my schedule. Wendy, thank you for introducing and thoroughly explaining the latest procedures to me that will accommodate me best. You are a rockstar! And to Shea… I am so grateful for the work you do on me. To be honest I dislike needles and pain. I am a complete wimp. However I do not feel an ounce of pain with your skilled handiwork. I always leave my visits with you not only looking beautiful but feeling beautiful. You are the best ever :)!!!

Some years ago I received breast augmentation from a doctor who I thought was competent and had my best interests in mind. Little did I know that years later my breast implants would completely fail, not only causing me to look awful physically but it was a risk to my health. I had a consultation with Dr. Cassileth and she knew right away that I had capsular contracture and needed corrective surgery right away.
Dr Cassileth was extremely warm and understanding, not to mention highly knowledgable with what to do when a breast augmentation goes bad and how to fix it. Dr. Cassileth’s staff is also amazing, they made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I am 100% thrilled with my results, the quality of her work is outstanding and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

What a wonderful place!!! I went in for an IPL treatment to correct some leftover pigmentation issues from acne scars. Not only did this treatment help, it did it gradually, so that I swear, EACH DAY my skin looked better and better. It is a painless and quick procedure that you can do by itself or pair with a peel, etc. And compared to other procedures, it continues to work its magic for up to a year-​amazing, right?
Dr. Cassileth and her team are beyond professional, and delightful to work with. There is a lot of care and consideration that goes into whatever procedure your are interested in. The staff is there to inform you what is best for your needs depending upon your skin, lifestyle, etc. — they are not just there to collect a paycheck, like so many other «facial experts» I have been to in the past.
I highly recommend this treatment in general, but I definitely recommend seeing Dr. Cassileth when you do!!! I think next I will look into getting some Sculptra, as a preventitive measure, because you all know I DO NOT want wrinkles, LOL. But I have heard the procedure is nothing short of amazing and long lasting, so I will keep you guys posted!!!

I got some of their lazier treatment and my skin looks great! Dr. Cassileth and her team were super friendly and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I will say I was a little nervous because I had never gotten this treatment done but it was quick and painless!

In the many years that I interacted with various surgeons and doctors doing graphic design and such for them (years ago), I must say that Dr. Lisa Cassileth stands out head and shoulders above so many of her colleagues. Not only is she extremely skilled (in my opinion one of the absolute best in her field) and able to accomplish miracles with what she’s given to work with, she is constantly the forerunner in new methods and procedures that make the quality of life for her patients more possible. I’ve been contemplating surgery with her for many years, and every time I went in she was inevitably doing a ton of work in some new breakthrough method (she invented, no less) to minimize scarring on cosmetic breast surgeries, or something similar! It wasn’t until I was diagnosed as BRCA2 positive (the genetic mutation breast and ovarian cancer), that I KNEW I would RUN straight into her very skilled and compassionate hands… She (and her incredible staff) held my hand through the entire process… and believe me… I am a needy one. They never once made me feel as though I was a pain or inconvenience — as they shouldn’t… but actually, I always felt extremely important and that my questions and issues were VITAL and EMERGENT.
I don’t know if there is room here, but in terms of her staff and her surgery center… well the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Because of my BRCA2 status, I not only had the 1-​Stage Breast Reconstruction (after double mastectomy, and ALSO invented and forged by Dr. Cassileth), I also had to have my tubes and ovaries removed by another Dr. at Cedars Sinai. The difference in the two surgery centers and staff was so black and white — it was like something out of the a Hitchcock novel (if you don’t know what that means, watch an old episode of the Twilight Zone)… Dr. Cassileth’s surgical team were all right there, right ON it, and took such great care of me. I didn’t get that kind of attention at Cedars (and I must say, I felt that the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing…)…
I obviously highly recommend Dr. Cassileth, and invite anyone to message me if they have questions or would like to know more details about my experience.

Lisa Cassileth is not just a plastic surgeon, but I also consider her a healer. I chose her to be my plastic surgeon during a challenging time in my life while I journied through breast cancer. Compassionate, caring AND a perfectionist! That is what I want when I’m having my body re-​constructed. Plus she knows the latest technologies and surgeries that I found other doctors were reluctant to do because they are a bit more time consuming. Lisa is passionate about her work and understands that feeling good about oneself is not only an important part of recovery from traumatic events but also an important part of living a fullfilling life.
The plastic surgery work that she did for me has earned her a new group off followers (my friends) who now go see her for everything else she has to offer — because she is really great at accentuating beauty without going overboard.
