Lisa Cassileth, MD

Founder of Bedford Breast Center and a two-term Chief of Plastic Surgery at Cedars-Sinai, Dr. Lisa Cassileth is a plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, California, and listed in the DeepPlane directory of deep plane facelift surgeons. As of October 2026, this profile reflects what DeepPlane currently holds on record for the surgeon.

Dr. Lisa Cassileth practices at Cassileth Plastic Surgery on North Bedford Drive, within the Beverly Hills surgical corridor. The practice website presents a surgeon focused on reconstructive and aesthetic surgery delivered within a single, coordinated program of care.

According to the practice website, Dr. Cassileth founded Bedford Breast Center and The Practice Healthcare. Each quotable detail here is drawn from the surgeon's own public materials and attributed accordingly, rather than independently confirmed by DeepPlane.

The deep plane facelift is the procedure around which this directory is organized. It is a rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift) that releases and repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than only tightening the skin.

Dr. Cassileth's listed clinical focus, according to the practice website, centers on breast reconstruction and aesthetic breast surgery. Patients researching facial rejuvenation should ask the practice directly which facelift techniques, including the deep plane approach, are offered.

Recovery is treated as part of the surgical plan at this practice. The website lists in-house recovery services such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, lymphatic massage and red light therapy, which it presents as supports for healing after surgery.

The practice website states that Dr. Cassileth has performed more than 8,000 surgeries, including more than 3,000 breast reconstructions. DeepPlane does not independently hold a procedure-volume record, so these figures are presented as the practice's own claims.

An in-house team supports each procedure, according to the practice. Nurses, physician associates, coordinators and aestheticians are described as working together so that one group follows a patient from consultation through recovery.

The practice website credits Dr. Cassileth as the inventor of the Direct-to-Implant and SWIM Flap techniques for breast reconstruction. These are presented as refinements intended to reduce the number of stages a reconstruction patient must undergo.

Surgery is performed at a QUAD A-accredited on-site surgery center, according to the practice. Facility accreditation speaks to the standards of the operating environment and is separate from any individual surgeon's board status.

Beverly Hills is one of the most established destinations in the world for aesthetic surgery. DeepPlane records 54 deep plane facelift surgeons in the city, with the cohort averaging 23 years of experience, giving patients a deep field in which to compare.

The patient experience described on the practice website emphasizes continuity of care. Rather than handing patients between separate offices, the practice presents consultation, surgery and recovery as one connected pathway under the surgeon's direction.

DeepPlane holds no confirmed board certification record for Dr. Cassileth at this time. This is not a statement that the surgeon lacks one; it means the registry record has not yet been added to this profile, and patients can verify certification directly with the relevant medical board.

Patients weighing a deep plane facelift can use this profile as a starting point and then confirm the details that matter most with Dr. Cassileth's practice. The sections that follow explain the surgery, the city, recovery and how to prepare for a consultation.
