Dr. Lisa Cassileth is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. Grounded by her Ivy League training and certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), she brings exceptional skill and knowledge to the field. Dr. Cassileth's career is marked by her notable role as the past Chief of Plastic Surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she led for two consecutive terms.
Dr. Cassileth is renowned for her advanced, minimal-incision reconstructive and cosmetic surgery techniques. These techniques ensure her patients receive beautiful, natural-looking results. Her focus extends across a broad range of body procedures, particularly those involving the breast.
She is a leader in the field of breast revision surgery - correcting previous surgeries that other doctors have been unable to fix. Patients from all over the world seek her out for her one-stage breast reconstruction, which allows mastectomy patients to wake up from surgery with their breasts intact rather than face multiple surgeries.
Dr. Cassileth is also widely renowned for correcting capsular contracture and her specialized breast lift technique, the Pocket Lift, which provides patients with long-term results and upper pole fullness without implants. Her friendly staff and welcoming Beverly Hills offices make patients and their families feel comfortable and safe.
In 2015, Dr. Cassileth founded the Bedford Breast Center in Beverly Hills. This state-of-the-art facility specializes in nipple-sparing mastectomy, minimal-incision lumpectomy, mammography, and genetic testing. It's a testament to her passion for providing comprehensive breast healthcare.
Dr. Cassileth's commitment to her patients was honored when she received the Compassionate Doctor Award from Vitals in 2021. Based on patient ratings, this award reflects her dedication to her patients' well-being and empathetic bedside manner. Dr. Cassileth has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for multiple consecutive years, most recently in 2024.
Beyond her clinical work, Dr. Cassileth actively contributes to the community. She serves on advisory boards for nonprofits like the Fertile Action Foundation, which focuses on preserving fertility for breast cancer patients.
Dr. Cassileth lives in Los Angeles with her husband, three children, and their beloved rescue animals: two very large dogs and a cat.
