Amazing plastic surgeon, a master at his craft! I dont have enough words of gratitude and praise. Dr Lerman is not only extremely professional and skilled, he also shows great care to his patients. He made me look like new, after a debilitating disease. The eight hour surgery performed by him proved to be a great success, with beautiful results. Highly recommended!

I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Lerman after reading reviews here, for which I am extremely grateful, and so I feel honored to leave my own. Dr, Lerman is a highly skilled surgeon with an amazingly easygoing bedside manner, and I can agree with the other reviews 100% that he is not only extremely knowledgeable and particularly gifted in his trade, but also exceedingly compassionate and truly wants to make a positive impact in the lives of his patients. He has an outstanding level of professionalism and expertise as evidenced by his numerous and varied academic and professional accomplishments. I was initially drawn to Dr. Lerman because of that, and also because has such tremendous experience with microsurgery and breast cancer reconstruction. I had been searching for a long time for someone I trusted to correct an issue I had with the left breast after having reconstruction surgeries elsewhere, and I'll be honest, I was beginning to despair. I had consulted with roughly 6 other surgeons, and I either didn't feel confident about them, or they turned me away because I had had DIEP flap to begin with, which THEY didn't feel comfortable with. I also had a somewhat unique issue with placement of the left breast due to complete loss of the breast during the original reconstruction surgery. Needless to say, I was beginning to think that I would not be able to have my issue fixed in the way that I hoped. I consulted with Dr. Lerman, and to my surprise, the first thing he mentioned was not about the breast at all, but he told me that I had a belly button hernia.(!!) In my previous 4 or so surgeries and many consults elsewhere, no one had ever mentioned that. He even found someone to fix it at the same time as the breast surgery (Dr. Amanda Messina, whom I highly recommend as well). One of the things I really like about Dr. Lerman is that he takes the time to explain the "whys" of things, so you understand better what is happening. He performed my surgery to correct the left breast that was lacking a natural IMC, was a different size and shape than the right, and was also situated lower on the chest, and thus often slipped out of clothing like bras, bathing suits and dresses. I also had a lift on the right side to bring symmetry, and fat grafting done on both sides. Dr. Lerman tackled this with such an amazing level of skill, and the results are spectacular. In the process, he even removed a cyst and did some scar revision in an area on the left breast that had suffered a significant infection in the past. I feel like he gave me back a part of myself, and I don't feel so darn uncomfortable in my own skin (or clothes, LOL). Words cannot explain how precious it is to me to not feel that level of discomfort every minute of every day, and to not have to constantly monitor if my breast is hanging out of my bathing suit/bra/dress and put it back in if it is (I have no feeling in the breasts, so I would always have to check visually or manually. There were times at the beach when I realized it was hanging out from below my bathing suit top, and I was never sure how long it had been like that) I now go to the beach with confidence, I wear clothes and bras comfortably. I feel like he has a sixth sense when it comes to what looks right on your body. He wouldn't have known what I looked like in my 20s- before kids, breastfeeding, cancer- but when I put on a bra and a T-shirt now, I definitely feel and look a lot like I did then. It's priceless. I could not be more grateful for Dr. Lerman, and Dana, his NP, who is kind and patient and always took time to answer all my questions... and also the ladies in the office. If you are searching for a surgeon and a team who are absolutely one of the best in the field, don't hesitate to make the call.
