Lisa Cassileth, MD, FACS

In December I had surgical excision of bilateral axillary accessory breast tissue (formerly soft and puffy) which had hardened and become extremely painful after being T-Boned by a distracted uninsured driver 9/30/2016. After years of hoping it would go away (which is what many doctors told me, or they told me it was in my head...!) I finally asked Dr. Cassileth to remove these nodules of red hot poker pain in my armpits. I called them the "tits in my armpits" and had tried all

I have fought with severe body dysmorphia for decades. The enormous breasts (getting implants at very young only complicated the matter as my breast tissue never decreased post pregnancy), shortest torso ever and my athleticism never coalesced. Getting ready to go out was mentally debilitating and I usually just opted for something baggy or wildly different just so no one would notice my body and judge it as severely as I did. Let them talk about my fit and judge it, leave judging

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, has a mastectomy with implant reconstruction. If you've had this you know the process. I was told to do daily exercises, form a nice pocket for my implant and if capsular contracture was going to happen it was most likely going to occur within 6 months. In 2017, I was struggling with some tightness on my right side, some hardness. I went to a breast surgeon and I was then sent to physical therapy to see if they could break up the bands

It's been a long time coming, but time to review this absolutely spectacular office. I have a nursing background, and tend to be more judgmental when it comes to assessing medical care. Dr. Cassileth's office itself is physically beautiful and comfortable. The staff is friendly, very efficient, and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. Shout out to Sonya and Star in particular. As far as the medical care - Dr. Cassileth is absolutely amazing, as a surgeon and a person.

Found myself in a plastic surgeon’s office after kids & 19 years of pondering, researching, & soul searching…after my consultation with Dr. Cassileth, I knew I had come to the right person. Honestly I cannot express the level of knowledge, skill, and compassion that Dr. Cassileth possesses. She listens; that bears repeating – she *listens*. My goal for my fat transfer breast augmentation was not like most. I was not looking for a noticeable increase in size. In fact, almost

I had first set of implants 21 years ago at The age of 24. I knew right away that my body reacted negatively. First thing I noticed was an overall “puffy” or Inflamed feeling throughout my body. Other symptoms were anxiety attacks and depression. At that time there was little acknowledgement that having implants could have negative side effects other than leakage, etc. These implants started to encapsulate and harden slowly . At the 9 year mark, I had removal and replacement.

Dr. Cassileth performed my One-Stage Immediate Breast Reconstruction with Implants following (or in tandem with) my double mastectomy performed by Dr. Richardson. I was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer a few months ago and originally opted for a lumpectomy with radiation as my treatment. Having known many women who have had mastectomies, I couldn't imagine putting myself through such a radical procedure, with multiple surgeries and extensive downtime. I was also afraid
