My experience horrible. Dr Lesesne ruined my life. I have pain everyday from scar tissue resulting from his numerous attempts to make the surgery right. My body is destroyed by Dr Lesesne. I can never forget him.

My experience with Dr. Lesesne has been nothing but a a great experience. I am so happy with my results. It has only been 10 days and I look and feel amazing. I cannot wait to see my final results.

Dr. Cap Lesesne is professional, honest, and accommodating. He took the time to explain everything to me and made sure to answer all of my questions. Diane was very helpful in getting me setup for the surgery and was a good sport in putting up with me. I felt safe and knew I would be in good hands. I had the surgery 10 days ago and am still healing but I have to say that I have no regrets. I would highly recommend Dr. Lesesne!

I had my first procedure done with Dr. Lesesne and I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon. I was so scared of getting upper blepharoplasty but he assured me that it would be a quick procedure and the results would be amazing. He did not disappoint. I had ptosis and he was able to correct my issue perfectly. His staff were amazing and comforting the entire time. I highly recommend anyone who want a natural and flawless look to come to Dr. Lesesne.

After a pretty intense Mohs removal surgery for skin cancer, my Mohs surgeon sent me to Dr. Lesesne for reconstruction. I was pretty freaked out from the initial surgery, but Dr. Lesesne explained calmly and empathetically how he planned to fix me up. He ended up doing a preauricular full thickness skin graft taking some skin from my cheek to patch up the spot under my eye.

He distracted me with very interesting stories throughout the procedure, which really helped after a long day of surgery. I'm still healing but so far the results look great: you can't even see the scar where the skin graft was taken from. Really grateful that he was able to see me on short notice and that I got his expert help!

A Natural-looking Mid-Face Lift Without Anesthesia Performed by Dr. Cap Lesesne As an individual who works in healthcare, I can tell you that Dr. Lesesne's office staff is warm and welcoming, caring, extremely organized and highly knowledgeable. Dr. Lesesne is passionate about making his patients look great while maintaining a truly natural and healthy look. (He spent time studying photos of me that were taken over the years.) As a matter of fact, when I had asked about the possibility of using a certain filler near my cheekbones, he said that for the shape/structure of my face, it would give me an artificial look. Dr. Lesesne phoned me himself the day after my surgery to tell me the time he wanted to see me in his office. He's very communicative with his patients and ALWAYS makes himself available to them. -Karen Kalish

In short, Dr. Lesesne is a genius! He is super smart, professional and forthright without any of the pretense or posing that one tends to find at these high-level tiers of surgical excellence in New York City. He won't sell you what you don't need. And, he'll be straight with you as to what you might need. He has a lovely, laid-back bedside manner and knows how to make sure his patients are comfortable and relaxed. But, most of all, his work is stunning and far surpassed what I ever dared to expect. And, his prices are fair! I highly recommend him without hesitation and with utmost enthusiasm.

I am so pleased with Dr. Lesesne's expertise, bedside manner and quite frankly, talent. He was able to repair an area of my nose after melanoma was removed. I was so upset thinking I would never look the same after having Mohs surgery. Under Dr. Lesesne's care I have complete confidence that it will look like nothing was done! After three weeks it already looks great! You will be in great hands with Dr. Lesesne.

This man should not have a medical license. he is mentally unstable, explosive with his patients (bullies patients in procedures they do not need) employees, and people that he hires for procedures he does in his office, i.e. anasthisiologists. he likes to be paid in cash. he does not pay his employees on time, they have to beg for their hard earn money. he is a monster. has many problems at home, due to his explosive temper.

I had Mohs surgery on my lip for basal cell and was recommended to go to Dr. Cap Lesesne's office to do the stitching. The hole from Mohs surgery was on my lip and very wide. A little over a week later and after removing the stitches, the scar is already almost faded and my lip looks normal again. I could not be more pleased with the results!

Dr. Lesesne performed an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) that single handedly transformed my stomach from something that had never seen the light of day into bikini ready. The results he produced are beyond my wildest dreams. I have to pinch myself to make sure it's really me. He removed loose skin that was weighing me down after I had lost 70 lbs.

His work is where science meets art. He was detailed, precise, and very caring as he watched over me as I healed which was reassuring and made a painful procedure more comfortable. I would not recommend anyone more than him!

Dr. Lesesne performed my reconstructive nasal surgery on June 24, 2020. I have nothing but glowing reviews on the entire process - from Diane and his staff - to Dr. Lesesne's amazing skills as a surgeon. I completely recovered with amazing results - and was pain free the same day of surgery. My experience was so positive and life changing - you'll shortly see a letter from the Dept. of Veteran's Affairs and US Navy ( i am a disabled Veteran ) thanking him for the excellent care he provided to their service member. In short - I'd recommend Dr. Lesesne to family and friends without hesitation. One of the best!

I made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Lesesne via his practice website and received an e-mail confirmation. When I arrived, there was only one staff person there. She had no idea that I had an appointment. I showed her the email confirmation, but she professed total ignorance and said that Dr. Lesesne was gone the entire week. My wife had actually purchased a procedure for me as a holiday gift. Admittedly, I did not read the fine print on the voucher at the time to see that it was supposed to be used in a short period of time.

Especially given that this was in the middle of the COVID pandemic, I asked if there might be some flexibility or consideration regarding the voucher timeline. She just said "No." She then said, "You can come back if you want to pay for it" (actually, we had already paid for it). As a physician, I understand that patients can sometimes get upset about minor things - but this was ridiculous. Cosmetic surgery is an area of medicine where success is highly dependent on patient satisfaction. Thus, to have this experience with a Park Avenue plastic surgeon's office - characterized by overt rudeness from the staff - was bizarre.

My experience with Dr Lesesne was horrible. He destroyed my body leaving me with two uneven breasts. He tried to correct by opening up the incision repeatedly consequently creating heavy scars under my breasts. I am in pain from scar tissue every day of my life. I cannot wear a bra and never look at my body. I do not recommend this doctor at all. A huge waste of money, pain and quality of my life.

I am disappointed with my experience with Dr. Lesesne. He might be good for other procedures but NOT what I did. I did a liquid rhino and half syringe in my lips. My lips were uneven right after they were done. I waited for the swelling to go down and let the filler settle in for 2 weeks. Still uneven. Then I went back to get the one side dissolved. Dissolver did nothing. It's been almost 7 months and my lips are STILL UNEVEN. I feel tiny lumps as well. See picture for proof!

I recently had my procedure done by Dr. Lesesne. It's been absolutely amazing experience with him and everyone in the office. Unlike other plastic surgeons in the city, he was willing to listen my list of concerns/questions and spend time explaining what would be the be the best result. The surgery and recovery were so flawless resulting in the best possibly way. Thank you Dr. Lesesne and Diane.

My husband had an ugly growth growing on his arm. He wan't too concerned, but I was. He went to a dermatologist that took a biopsy and confirmed that it was a squamous skin cancer. This was early August and the derm. couldn't schedule him until after Labor Day. I sent an email to Dr. Lesesne and he removed it in his office early the next week.

The pathology report came back with clean margins after Dr. Lesesne removed the skin cancer. Dr. L. has a great eye for detail. My husband will go back to him for two to three years every three months to be monitored. I haven't heard of any doctors checking up on a patient's progress like this. My husband feels so much better now that he is under the care of Dr. Lesesne.

Good doctors that truly care about their patients are becoming as rare as people holding the door for each other. We will be life long patients because of his skill, dedication, and compassion for his patients! Dr. L has a trained eye to spot these growths as soon as you walk in the door. He is a very GOD gifted and talented surgeon. I keep his office number on speed dial!

I was referred to Dr. Lesesne by my dermatologist to remove the puffy bags under my eyes. Dr. Lesesne is an amazing surgeon and his entire staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable. I was worried about being under anesthesia as I had a bad experience in the past, as well as the pain after, and they assured me I would be just fine. The surgery was fairly quick and I had no nausea (even after anesthesia) or pain throughout my entire recovery.

I got surgery done on a Saturday morning and walked a few blocks that same day. By the next morning, I was out walking my dog in the park, went to the movies and out to lunch. I was shocked at how easy of a recovery this surgery was. I never needed to take the prescribed pain med. By day 3 with a little concealer on, no one could tell I had any bruising. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lesesne! My only regret is that I didn't get it done sooner.

I went in for a routine hand surgery, and that team is phenomenal. They put me under, did the surgery, and had me out pretty quickly. No pain. Excellent IV'ing and anesthesia work. Excellent surgeon. All friendly, wonderful, highly skilled professionals who do great jobs.

I had a great experience with Dr. Cap and his staff, Diane and Jennifer. I love that he gives patients very natural results and amazing bed side manners. The waiting time was very short. I have sent many of my friends and family to Dr. Cap because of his 30 year experience, his gentle personality as a doctor, and because the results are subtle and natural looking yet make a huge difference aesthetically. I also have gotten facials with Jennifer - she is amazing and super nice. Highly recommend!

Dr. Lesesne is an outstanding surgeon. He has an incredible amount of surgical experience and skill. I went to Dr. Lesesne for a hand surgery, the procedure and recovery were flawless. If you are considering him for any procedure, he's the best!

I've had two micro-needling sessions from Jennifer Scheel, and she is incredible. The whole experience is top notch, and Jennifer always goes the extra mile. You can tell she cares deeply about her work. I'm thrilled with the results, and I'm going to keep going back! Can't say enough good things about her.

Great experience from beginning to end, from the free consultation to the great post-procedure follow-up appointments and the great results. Great doctor, lovely staff, and super responsive to my questions and calls. Most importantly - he did a terrific job with my eyelid surgery with completely natural results.

Dr. Lesesne charged me $2,900 for a scar revision on my neck. It did not improve my scar; instead, it made it much worse. He is a very friendly and sweet man but my scars look worse and he seemed angry and annoyed that I was unsatisfied even though it was clearly a disaster. A huge waste of money and time. Very disappointed. And good luck getting them to answer their phone or ever call you back. Not sure how they survive on Park avenue with those work ethics.

I'm currently work for Corrections in NY, and I when i began my career 10 years ago, I was pretty fit, but went through some issues in life and I gained weight because of depression and other emotional issues, my weight kept me from doing my job accordingly, which is dangerous in my field, how am I suppose to service, protect or kept others safe?.

So I applied for weight loss surgery, was approved and kept the weight off but i remained with areas of fat and skin that exercise did not remove, I was referred to Dr. Lesesne and he helped me with just PAL which is a form of Liposuction he recommended in the breast area, abdomen and flanks. It's been about 5 weeks already and the results are phenomenal, my chest is flat, my skin is retracting very quickly and my waist is contouring into a nice masculine shape. His procedures are so affordable, you get Park Avenue Treatment with out the Park Ave Prices! I highly recommend Dr. Cap Lesesne.

I have been to Dr. Lesesne for a few procedures in the last decade and would never, ever use or trust anybody else! He is the BEST doctor in New York City and beyond, hands down. I am extremely pleased with everything he's ever done- from botox to facial surgery. I am very careful about who I let operate on me - it is my face, the only one I have!

I trust him implicitly and would let him perform anything I need. I just had a procedure that went very well and am excited to schedule another one (liposuction on my legs) when I can afford it. This is a wonderful, highly-skilled cosmetic surgeon who deserves nothing but praise, appreciation and accolades. I feel so lucky I found him long ago and tell everyone about him. He really is super-excellent!

Carroll Lesesne runined my face, I had had several small procedures, all came out a disaster, since I have met many people that has had surgery with this man and all have major complaints. Do your home work.

Dr. Lesesne is the best. I've known him for about 20 years. He has operated on me, my family and my friends. We have all been beyond satisfied with his work, and he has always been kind and compassionate. I would recommend him to anyone. I don't think you can do better.
