Get to know Plastic Surgeon Dr. Luke Anthony Cusimano III, who serves patients in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Dr. Cusimano III is an award-winning plastic surgeon in private practice in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Known for providing natural-looking plastic surgery results to patients, he is highly skilled in plastic surgery procedures of the breast, body, and face, as well as in breast reconstruction. 

A firm believer in a personalized approach to surgery, he remains dedicated to providing compassionate, personalized treatment for each and every patient. He takes great pride in achieving beautiful, natural-looking results, and strives to ensure that each patient receives the optimal level of care.

In regards to his educational background, Dr. Cusimano III completed his undergraduate education at Louisiana State University and earned his medical degree at the American University of the Caribbean. He then went on to complete his internship in general surgery and his residency in general surgery at the State University of New York at Buffalo. This was followed by an additional residency in general surgery at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he served as chief resident, and a fellowship in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Tulane University in New Orleans.

The doctor not only had vast experience in autologous reconstruction but also had vast exposure to the newer techniques for implant-based reconstruction, including pre-pectoral and direct-to-implant reconstructions. He feels extremely lucky to bring this knowledge and skill back to where he grew up and be able to give breast cancer patients other options for breast reconstruction.

Furthermore, he is board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery, an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge.

Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty involving the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body. It can be divided into two main categories – reconstructive surgery and cosmetic surgery. A plastic surgeon’s primary responsibility is performing surgical and non-surgical procedures, and they use a variety of reparative and reconstructive techniques to get the job done. 

Happily married, Dr. Cusimano III has two boys that attend St. Aloysius in Baton Rouge. His interests include new innovations in cosmetic surgery, nutrition, and physical fitness. In his free time, he likes to play sports and is an avid outdoorsman.
