Our Surgical Team
Dr. Kelly Killeen, double board-certified and nationally recognized for breast revision and cosmetic surgery, practices alongside three esteemed partners: Dr. Lisa Cassileth (founder of The Practice and former Chief of Plastic Surgery at Cedars-Sinai), Dr. Beina Azadgoli (deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty, and blepharoplasty), and Dr. Omar Hussain (facial aesthetics and rhinoplasty).
Together, they cover the full spectrum of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, so every patient is matched with the surgeon and approach best suited to their goals.
Four surgeons. One standard of excellence.

Now Offering Preservé™ by Motiva
Preservé™ by Motiva is a tissue-preserving breast augmentation. Instead of cutting a pocket, a balloon gently opens a space for the implant above the chest muscle, keeping more of your breast's natural support structure intact.
Dr. Killeen was one of the first surgeons in the United States trained in Preservé and now trains other board-certified plastic surgeons in the technique. In her practice, most Preservé patients return to exercise and normal routines right away.
See Your Possible Results - in 3D!
With Crisalix 3D, we can simulate changes on your body before surgery, so you can compare sizes, shapes, and proportions with confidence. Upload three photos securely, then review options together in-office. We commonly use it for breast and body procedures.
Patients tell us Crisalix takes the uncertainty out of planning. Instead of guessing from someone else's photos or trying on sizers, you'll see your anatomy in 3D and compare options side-by-side, including implant sizes, shapes, and placements, or subtle body refinements. Reviewing the simulations together makes choices clearer, lowers pre-op stress, and aligns the plan with your goals.
It's collaborative, personalized, and confidence-building, exactly how surgical decisions should feel.
Considering a Breast Revision?
Dr. Kelly Killeen performs a large number of breast revisions and lectures nationally on correcting implant complications. Located in Beverly Hills, she offers a luxury experience for her patients.
She plans each revision around what went wrong the first time, your tissue, and your goals.

When to Stop Smoking Before Surgery (and Yes, We Test for Nicotine)
October 9, 2026
Dr. Killeen answers when to stop smoking before elective surgery: at least four weeks before, with more benefit at eight weeks or more, and that applies to any nicotine product. She explains the two reasons (lung complications and healing complications, especially in facelifts, breast lifts, and mastectomy), why to start quitting six weeks out, why her team tests for nicotine at the pre-op visit or on the day of surgery, and why to be honest if you cannot quit.
Nipple Blood Supply Problems After a Reduction or Lift: What Helps
October 8, 2026
After a breast reduction or lift, surgeons watch the blood supply to the nipple and areola closely, because the surgery itself reduces it. Dr. Killeen explains what can be done when it is struggling: removing the stitches around the areola (which only helps when swelling is the cause), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and topical nitropaste or DMSO. She also gives the questions to ask your surgeon and explains why a nipple that looks terrible often still survives.
Post-Op Must-Haves: What You Actually Need After Surgery
October 7, 2026
Dr. Killeen answers what you really need for recovery after plastic surgery. Her list is short: stock up before surgery on hydration, meals, snacks, and protein, and get a good wedge pillow for the first week or two. She explains why you probably do not need to buy a surgical bra, and why lymphatic massage, hyperbaric oxygen, and red light therapy are nice adjuncts that the average patient does not need.
