Lisa F. SchneiderDr

Lisa F. Schneider, MD FACS, is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Schneider’s experience has focused on complex reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, including lymphedema and breast surgery. She is a passionate physician and caring mother who tailors her care to each individual patient.

Dr. Schneider was one of only two students selected nationwide for training at the world-renowned Institute for Reconstructive Plastic Surgery at New York University Langone Medical Center-Bellevue Hospital. She trained for six years with leaders and pioneers in all fields of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including Dr. Bob Allen, the originator of the DIEP flap. She spent an additional year of training in microsurgical reconstruction at NYU/Bellevue, honing her skills at complex procedures such as finger re-attachments and free tissue transfer. Dr. Schneider’s goal is to provide her patients with the highest level of expertise, so that their decisions – and not their surgeon’s limitations – would drive their care.

Dr. Schneider also specializes in a surgical breast nerve repair technique known as Resensation. She performs Resensation for breast reconstruction (DIEP flap reconstruction and implant reconstruction), breast reduction with free nipple graft, and female to male transgender top surgery.
