I had surgery with Dr. Sean T. Lille in October 2024 for gynecomastia removal using the VASER method. I paid approximately $12,000 for the procedure. Based on both the outcome and multiple post-op consultations with other board-certified plastic surgeons, the VASER method was not appropriate for my case and was very unlikely to succeed. This should have been identified and clearly communicated before surgery. Instead, the procedure went forward, and as expected, the results were a failure. I am still left with significant gynecomastia and no meaningful improvement. During my post-operative follow-up, Dr. Lille did not take responsibility for the outcome and instead offered excuses. His demeanor came across as dismissive rather than empathetic or solution-oriented. I left the appointment without escalation because I did not want to make a scene. To add insult to injury, I was later contacted by his office to schedule a second surgery. No refund or partial reimbursement was offered, despite the fact that the first surgery failed and that I now need an entirely new corrective procedure elsewhere. Since then, I have consulted with multiple other plastic surgeons who independently confirmed that I should never have proceeded with a VASER-only approach and that a different surgical method was required from the start. Additionally, during multiple interactions, Dr. Lille made unsolicited comments about politics and his personal views, which felt unprofessional and inappropriate in a medical setting. I chose Dr. Lille based on local media coverage and his reputation as a "top surgeon in the Valley," and I was extremely disappointed. This experience cost me a significant amount of money, time, and emotional energy, and I am now faced with undergoing another surgery to correct what should have been done properly the first time. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Lille. read more

I started this process over 3 years ago and with Dr. Lillie since October. What an amazing experience from the first visit with him and Beth. They are reliable and trustworthy and provide all the details I needed for the expenses to what would occur for the procedure. I went to Dr. Lillie on a friends recommendation and I am so glad that I did. I had lost over 135 pounds and had to have a tummy tuck to have the excess skin and fat removed. The process was provided in great detail and the procedure went really well. The after care was great from the recovery center and I needed assistance a few weeks after the surgery and Dr. Lillie called me to make sure every was okay so I had no worries over the weekend. The staff are super friendly and responsive to all my questions. I would recommend them for your needs since they helped me have more confidence along the way to my new self. read more

I got a breast augmentation and full abdominoplasty within the last year from Dr. Lille. I am happy with the results. Him and his team kept me well informed of what to expect. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Lillie for the past five years. Everyone in his office is very warm and Welcoming. Dr. Lillies, Beth, Joni and Susan are absolutely fantastic. Dr. Lillie has an amazing bedside manner, is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. He asks you what results you are looking for and is honest when It comes to what is or is not needed. He is worth the long drive from Queen Creek to his office in Scottsdale. read more

There's a reason Dr. Lille has been featured in numerous magazines as one of the top plastic surgeons ~ it's all about the patients. I came to Dr. L after having three, yes three, botched surgeries during the Spring of 2018. My original doctor couldn't get the breast implant placed correctly and by the end of 2 months worth of surgeries, I was incredibly worse than when I started. Instead of just saying he would give it another try, his recommendation was to remove both implants and get me, myself, and all the rest of me, back into healthy shape. What I said - all about the patient. His staff is tremendously knowledgable and always anxious and capable of helping. I highly recommend Dr. Sean T. Lille. Very grateful to have found him. read more

From start to finish, my experience with Dr Lille and his team has been incredible. I had been looking at a few different doctors but as soon as I met with Dr Lille-- I knew he would be the one to do my breast augmentation. It has been five months since my surgery and they have healed beautifully. Surgery was fast and recovery was a breeze. Nobody believes I had them done. They look so natural and fit my body so well. (475cc on left, 450cc on right), went from a 34C to a 34DD for reference. I also had him administer restylane silk in my lips about a month ago, he did an incredible job. (Side note: Just make sure you have a few days to let the swelling go down.) Incredible doctor! I recommend him to everyone! read more

"I went in to see Dr Lilles office today and bought a great skin cream, Neocutis Micro Eyes, to keep up my fat grafting which still looks great! Dr Lille really doesn't advertise skin care like some offices do because they really care more about surgery , however, Beth is very knowledgeable and I'm impressed with the products. I'll keep you posted if the micro eyes works as well as the regular eye cream. I have a friend who likes the micro eyes better, so I thought I would try it! read more

It's now been 13 months and I am extremely happy with my results. When I originally went in I wanted more work done but Dr. Lille suggested what was best for me rather than for the profit for the business. Many doctors will complete any work requested to bring in that extra money as opposed to what is most beneficial for the clients needs. That is not the case at Dr. Lille's office. I took his advise and I am happy I did. My results are exactly what I wanted and I am SO happy! I will be going back to Dr. Lille for any future work. Thank you Dr. Lille and staff! read more

Sorry, not impressed! During the consultation, was told I needed to come back, six months later to do simple Lopo during breast augmentation ! I knew better!!! Could be done at same time! I found the perfect Dr. to preform this surgery today!!! (Do your research)Plus, his quote was over $2000 more! Not even impressed by his photos! Update, I COMPLETELY STAND by what I said!! This Dr. Is in this for the money!!! If his before and after photos do not want to make you run, his prices will.. Oh, btw, I went to a well known Scottsdale plastic surgeon. You should not have to pay extra for surgi room.. Second, I did have liposuction at same time as implants.. This quack told me I have to come back six months later. WHY, I am already under anesthesia. read more

Now that it's been about 7 months since my procedure with Dr Lille I figured I can give an update. I am absolutely THRILLED with my results! Dr Lille is such a skilled surgeon and his staff is incredible. My procedure came out better than I expected! So happy with my decision with choosing Dr Lille, absolutely no regrets! I highly recommend him, you will not be dissatisfied!! read more

I recieved my first major surgery from Sean Lillie and he was very amazing, honest and did not over promise like most doctors do. He did promise he will do high quality work and he over delivered. His staff is professional and amazing as well. I recommend him to anybody that wants honest, high quality work. read more

Dr. Lille and his staff earned more than five stars in my book. They were kind, caring, funny, and were extremely professional. I had a full lift and augmentation and my results could not have been better. My scarring looks phenomenal and I could not be more pleased with how I look. I was recommended to Dr. Lille by friends of mine who had also had wonderful experiences. I only have the best things to stay about him and his lovely staff. read more

On August 2016, I had a Gynecomastia surgery performed By Dr. Sean Lille that resulted in a depression line going across my right chest, extending under the armpits causing severe visible deformation. Two days after the surgery was done, I contacted and asked him about the visible depressed line, and his answer was that "he had placed and extensive amount of gauzes to cover the surgical site and that's what's causing compression on the area but it will flat out by time". On the three month follow up post surgery visit, the deformity was still visible and he knew that this was not going away, so he sent in his assistant, Merlyn, to meet up with me so that she can feed him with how I truly felt about the results before he sees me so that he comes in prepared. Also, she joined him during the visit and repeated all nonsense he said (I believe that this is not in line with the medical code of conduct). During the visit, he had told me that the sides of the chest aren't a part of the gynecomastia surgery and I will need to have another surgery with additional cost but the fat grafting will be free of charge. I had consulted a lawyer and his opinion was that, "you don't know your damages unless you see the fix and have another expert opinion". So I had another revision surgery done by Dr. Lille on May 2017, but still no improvement. I had consulted another experienced surgeon and his report confirms the existence of deformity and unaddressed areas with fat. He offered to perform a fat grafting in the office for free, but who would go for another try?!! This isn't his area of expertise at all. read more

BEST plastic surgeon!! Have had a number of procedures by Dr. Lillie and I am always pleased. The office staff is friendly and efficient. It just does not get any better than Dr. Lillie. He is a magician with the knife and needle. read more

Breast augmentation I had a previous consult with a different doc before scheduling one with dr Lille. Once I found him, I canceled it and made a same day consult with Lille. Choosing him to do my procedure was the best choice I could have ever made. He made me feel so at ease, and really understood the concerns I had. Day of surgery he came in and told me the duration of the procedure and went over again what would be happening. I was in and out before I knew it. He also had an amazing bedside manner! I trust dr Lille fully! His office staff are so welcome and helpful with any concerns or questions I had! read more

Run from this doctor! Do not see him! I should have known the way he talks to his staff, this doctor has an ego trip. Dr. Lille as ruined me. I was told by him that if it didn't work out, the insurance would cover fixing me. My breast has huge scars. My breast caved in. I wished i could show you photos. Thry are so bad, I was contacted possible of being on the botched cosmetic surgery tv show, I hope I am picked because of how bad the photos are. This should tell you how bad Dr. Lille left me. I can not wear any bra unless its a push up without having to pull the one up. I hav a Huge indentation on my right side which is caved in. When I went into his office, crying, begging him to fix me as he had promised before he was paid in full. All I got as I was crying , he kept telling my husband that I was hostile! You got to be kidding me. I was never mean, but cried and begged for him to fix me. He stated I should be happy. Girls, trust me, read his new reviews of the ones who has gotten the surgery from him. He is not the doctor he used to be. He does not care , only the money. He doesn't listen to you. I wanted to go back to what I was before I lost my breast years ago, with no scars to see. This man gets money from the insurance you pay into, also where you have the procedure at. You tell me if he cares if he leaves you looking like a train wreck. It's sad when I go to get fitted for a bra, and they feel sorry for me. His own staff, feeling sorry for me. When you pick a doctor, please go see another one to. I fell for this doctor of his connections with the Mayo clinic. If a doctor doesn't care about his staff, or listens to you, run! This man has a ego trip, and refuses to take responsibility for making someone look like a freak. My husband accepts me for whom I am, I keep saying its just breast. I just wish I would have flown back to Philly, back to my doctor who cares, and would have fixed his mistakes. I have so much ripples to. My husband feels bad we can't afford to get them done again, and how it affects the way it had left me emotionally, and physically scarred. Oh, Just so you know, he kept saying over and over as I was crying to my husband, I was hostile and he didn't have to listen to it. I think he need to look up the word hostile, and the word, distraught, and begging to what he promised to do. My whole family and friends are sadden what this man has done to me! Btw I'm a veteran, this is how he treats us even if he tries to use his milatary life as a trusting doctor. No military doctor would leave someone this way! read more

I went to Dr. Lille several years ago for several cosmetic procedures. I had a common problem after several weeks of healing & I wanted Dr. Lille to resolve the problem, but he refused & I was NOT happy at all. I walked down the hall & had another cosmetic surgeon resolve the issue. I was pleased with the results. Even though I'm not happy that Dr. Lille refused to repair an issue post-op, I will say that he is a fine surgeon. He does a lot of cosmetic surgery on weight loss patients. The surgeries that he performed on me he performed well overall. In the summer I'm in my bikini often & nobody ever noticed that I had any cosmetic surgery done to any of my body. My body is worth 20K, but I'm glad I went to Dr. Lille overall. I have seen some very scary post op photos, and I'm thankful that mine came out so natural looking. Dr. Lille is also a military veteran as I am, and I do respect that. I recommend Dr. Lille for cosmetic surgery overall, but I feel that he can offer more to his patients when a procedure doesn't heal as expected. If the procedure should and can be improved, it should be. I feel he could be more loyal to his patients, and because I don't feel that he is, I rated him lower than I would have. He's still a very talented surgeon. read more

Went to this doctor for a consultation about 2-3 months ago. One of the worst experiences. Very very unprofessional. The lady who talked to me first went through the paperwork from previous doctor who did my previous breast implant work (granted paperwork wasn't the best - very conflicting info) she did a good thorough job trying to figure out what actually happened. Then came in Dr Lillie. It went downhill very quickly. He attempted to read the information. While reading through my paperwork from my previous doctor he immediately got flustered and THREW my papers across the table and said, "ok, so what's really going on." I just looked at him in dispare. "You should know!" What doctor says that in a condescending tone? First of all, my previous Dr in Kentucky told me I had one implant replaced due to wrinkling which Dr Lillie's nurse or whoever the lady was told me it said rupture in paperwork. Already a conflict hence I didn't know what really happened. So I told him I had no idea what was going on based on my reaction when she told me what the paperwork said. I was beyond upset at the lack of professionalism with this doctor. How he has good reviews I'll never know. I was treated very unfair and the treatment was extremely unprofessional. Sad for him and his lack of professionalism because I paid for my surgery via cash in full out of my own pocket. Dr Lillie never took photos - told me he would only go smaller which was not what I wanted. I requested "fluffy boobs." Smaller was not an option since I was preparing to pay a good amount of money. Out of the 4 doctors I saw Dr Lillie was the worst. Go to him if you wish but I'd never waste the $75 dollars for his consult fee of sheer disrespect which basically left me very very upset. I work with a lot of people each and everyday and will NOT recommend him to anyone. Hint of advice: word of mouth goes a long way. Matter of fact if anyone utters his name I will be sure to tell them of my horrible experience. Steer clear!! *** On another note, i am always talking about my experiences with others who value my feedback everyday. If you want a good skilled professional board certified doctor who treats clients with respect let me know. I can recommend a professional doctor who did listened to my expectations as to what I wanted. Listened to me and reviewed the "look" I was trying to achieve. So far- I couldn't be happier with my results. Everyone was very respectful and honest from Day 1. I knew he was the right guy from the initial consult who also charged $75 but was worth every penny and probably more. Food for thought. I usually do not leave bad comments but I felt my experience should be noted publicly. read more

If I could give more stars, I would. Dr. Lille is the best. His work is meticulous and 2 years later, my jawline looks amazing. I appreciated his personality as I was quite nervous - he is humorous and forthright. He is available when you have concerns - he won't coddle you, it isn't his style, but for most I think, that is the correct approach. I highly, highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Lille was recommended by a friend and calling him was the best decision. From the first phone call to the consultations to surgery day to post op appointments, Dr.Lille and his entire staff were amazing. They were friendly and answered all of my questions along with providing written materials to re read at home. The only regret I have is not calling him sooner! I finally feel like I am complete and it would not have been possible without Dr. Lille and his wonderful staff. read more

I had breast augmentation with Dr. Lille 2/1/13. Getting this done was the best decision I ever made next to choosing Dr Lille to do it. He is a no nonsense, straight forward Dr. He will tell you the TRUTH. His prices are extremely competitive and his schedule is so flexible. You can count on Margaret, Joni, or Mikala to assist you with any questions or concerns you have! My boss is actually scheduled for augmentation with Dr Lille this week!! Keywords I think of with Dr Lille are knowledgeable, honest, trust, amazing! If you are thinking about it, give him a call. Your mind will be made up! read more

If I could give more stars, I would. For 15 years, I've wanted breast augmentation. I've had consultations with almost a dozen Drs, almost scheduling the surgery with one, but I'm so glad I waited til I found Dr. Lille's office. 4 months after procedure I couldn't be any more happy with my decision, and every day I am more happy with it. Dr Lille is objective, professional, and very straight forward with no bullshit. This is a trait that I find to be rare and very admirable. He's not afraid to tell you his professional opinion. I really appreciated his knowledge, insight, clarity and patience. If you're one that likes things sugar coated, consider someone else, but know that if you choose them, you will not be getting the best work possible. Seriously though. Dr Lille's work is amazing. At my consultation, I'd basically decided the look I wanted. When I came in for my pre op we were suddenly talking 50ccs more than the absolute most I thought I wanted in terms of cc's. There were days post surgery that I became emotional and freaked out "Now I have big fake water balloons on my chest" but honestly, if I have one piece of advice for you, please TRUST THE DIAGRAM THEY GIVE YOU (you know, the one with the smiley faces) and go bigger than you think you want. You may not freak out right away, but you will (like it or not, you will)... but know that when you do, his staff will be there to support and comfort you every moment of it. They are amazing. I'm 5'9, 140 - 500ccs/3 bra cup sizes - Most work I've seen that goes beyond 1.5-2 cups larger seem to become lopsided and look funny. My boobs look exactly the same as they did before, just bigger! And my scars are perfectly in the crease where they should be (don't forget to use your vitamin E oil, it really does help!). I highly recommend Dr Lille and his team, as they truly are the best. read more

If I could give more stars, I would! Dr. Lille and his staff were amazing from start to finish. I had my final appointment today and was actually sad to not be going back! I love them all and am going back to the medspa! Dr. Lille called me personally to make sure I was doing ok. When I called him he called me back and gave me instruction. He was honest, efficient, and made me feel extremely comfortable. He's an amazing surgeon and I'd recommend him 1000000000000000%! read more

I am more than thrilled with Dr. Lille and his staff. They were very professional and thorough. He took the time to listen to what I really wanted and the results are amazing. I would highly recommend him for a breast augmentation. read more

Dr. Lille and his staff are amazing!! I had a breast augmentation, it was so easy and smooth. I feel very blessed to have met Dr. Lille. I couldn't be happier with the outcome, and the recovery was a breeze!! read more

I would recommend Dr. Lille to anyone. He is very informative and his staff was very friendly and super helpful. Everything was explained in as much detail as possible and my results for a breast augmentation were phenomenal. Unlike many doctors (although I wouldn't of minded his staff calling me) he himself called me after my surgery to check on me. Overall I could not have asked for a better doctor and staff. read more

I visited two other surgeons in Scottsdale (one of whom performed an immediate family member's breast augmentation) before my consultation with Dr. Lille. Dr. Lille more than exceeded my expectations based on the bar set by the other surgeons. Clear, compassionate, and trustworthy, I felt completely comfortable and confident in Dr. Lille and his staff. Dr. Lille's surgery recommendations during my consultation were easy to understand and my options were very clear to me. Equally clear was Dr. Lille's ethics and expertise. He never just told me what I wanted to hear, but remained realistic at all times, which I notice seems to have motivated some of his negative reviews. Where other highly-rated Scottsdale surgeons merely took measurements and gave me an estimate (no more than 10 minutes total), Dr. Lille and his staff made me feel human, gave me options, and actually talked to me without that rushed feeling I had previously encountered. I felt comfortable through and through. When faced with the decision between saline and silicone implants, Dr. Lille and Paula informed me of my options, gave me literature to review, and helped me weigh my options with MY goals in mind, never making me feel pressured or judged. Mine was a fairly major surgical procedure, and as a cautious person who had multiple consultations with top-rated Scottsdale surgeons, the decision to schedule with Dr. Lille was an obvious one. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Lille, the surgery center, and the staff took care to minimize my anxiety. Later in the day, Margaret called from Dr. Lille's office to check in and offer some advice about what to eat, and that evening Dr. Lille himself called my cell phone to see how I was doing. Talk about quality of care! Dr. Lille was careful to mediate my expectations from the very beginning--AS A GOOD SURGEON SHOULD--but he hardly needed to. The results are incredible. I couldn't be happier. Aesthetic surgery can be a scary, uncomfortable process, but Dr. Lille and his staff made me feel valued, comfortable, and confident. If you're looking for true skill and competence in a plastic surgeon, schedule with Dr. Lille. read more

Dr. Lille performed surgery on me and my entire experience was outstanding. He is extremely knowledgable, professional, warm and caring. My results are fantastic and I couldn't be happier. I also want to mention his outstanding staff. They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and thoroughly answered all of my questions. I felt very informed and prepared prior to my surgery and very well cared for afterwards. I highly recommend Dr. Lille to anyone seeking cosmetic surgery! read more

I had recently decided to get a procedure done and after searching for the best fit for my needs and having had other consultations, I decided to go with Dr. Lillie. It was the best decision I could've made. The attentive staff and Dr was more than I ever expected! They all went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, and my procedure went really well. I'm so happy with my results! He is one that I would highly recommend to anyone, and already have recommended to my friends. I plan on visiting his staff in the future. It's always reassuring when you visit a place and you leave with the biggest smile on your face. read more

Dr. Sean Lille did a neck lift and a face lift on me, and I look great! I'm 49 but have been told I look like I'm in my 20's! Dr. Lille was very professional and kind. He cares about his patients, as does his whole staff. I would recommend him for any type of surgery or procedures you would need! read more

I chose Dr.Lille because I had seen a few pictures of people he had worked on in his office, and was amazed by what he could do to improve a person's appearance. Cosmetic surgery for me was a very personal decision.I was doing it for myself.I wanted surgery so when I looked into the mirror I didn't look so tired and old. Dr. Lille is very professional and so is his staff. He knew exactly what I needed after we talked to improve the way I look. I had the surgery and it went very well . It has been three months now since my surgery, and I am so glad I chose Dr.Lille to do my cosmetic surgery. My surgery was a positive reflection on how I feel. Now I look as good as I feel! My family and friends say I look good, but not all of them know the real reason why. It's nice to keep some things to yourself. I am sharing this so others will feel good when they look into the mirror as I do,and smile.... read more
