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.
Coming from out of town? You can start with a virtual consultation from home. Our guide to traveling for surgery covers how long to stay, where to stay and follow-up after you go home.
It's collaborative, personalized, and confidence-building, exactly how surgical decisions should feel.

My Surgeon Says the Implant I Want Is Too Narrow. Is That Real?
November 3, 2026
Dr. Killeen explains why surgeons push back on an implant that is much narrower than your breast: it can make the breast look tuberous, and because a round implant is as tall as it is wide, a narrow one can fill the lower breast and leave the upper breast flat in a traditional augmentation. She also explains why Preservé lets a small implant sit higher than the crease, so the width rule matters less for the right patient.
Fat Necrosis After Breast Surgery: How We Treat It
November 2, 2026
Dr. Killeen explains fat necrosis after breast surgery: why an area of fat can lose its blood supply, how ultrasound makes the diagnosis, and how treatment depends on size and timing. Massage and time for small areas, an anti-inflammatory injection for stubborn ones, in-office removal for small areas near the skin after six months, and waiting longer on large areas to avoid a dent. Plus why aeration works better after fat grafting, and why you never have to remove it.
Dark Skin Next to Your Vertical Scar After a Breast Lift or Reduction
October 13, 2026
A dark strip next to the vertical incision after a breast lift or reduction is common. Dr. Killeen explains the usual cause: the feathered edge of the areola looks like normal skin during surgery, and reduced blood flow afterward darkens it over the following weeks. She also covers post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, why the whole areola can darken after a reduction, and why a very large areola sometimes cannot all be removed at once.
