An Interview With Dr. Glenn Lyle
I grew up in a small town called Radburn, New Jersey. Just 14 miles outside of New York City.
Although I have had training and experience in all areas of plastic surgery, I specialize in cosmetic plastic surgery of the breast and body.
My initial interest was in Burns and burn reconstruction, as my Mentor was a world expert in this field. While a lot of my plastic surgery training involved burns, I realized there was so much more within the field, so I pursued a career in more extensive general plastic surgery.
I like to golf, travel, and enjoy leisure time at the beach. My interest in marine biology persists, and when I go on vacation, I still like to scuba dive. I also enjoy hanging out with my family. I am a big sports fan, particularly football, so I follow NC State football and the Cleveland Browns in the NFL.
I think the public does not understand just how much training and hard work it takes to become a plastic surgeon. Most people think we do facelifts or breast augmentations. But my experience in 30 years of being a plastic surgeon entails helping people overcome the devastation of trauma, cancer, and deformity. I have done things like put fingers and hands back on after detachment and re-creating new breasts for women who have lost them due to cancer. Saving people’s limbs after car accidents and restoring their face after skin cancers. My career has changed me because I empathize with people suffering from physical deformities.
My first passion was marine biology, so I attended the University of Massachusetts, got a degree in zoology, and then went to the University of Hawaii to pursue my dream of studying sharks. Although this was very exciting, I felt the need to put my interest in science to better use in helping my fellow human beings. So, I pursued a medical degree after obtaining a Masters degree in marine biology. During medical school, I immediately knew that surgery was what I was most interested in. I ultimately pursued plastic surgery after doing 5 years of general surgery. I then moved on to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, TX to do an additional 3-year residency in plastic surgery. 8 years of training prepared me well for my first job in plastic surgery.
Treat my patients as I would like to be treated.
Being able to allow patients to feel better about themselves. It is not about vanity; it is about feeling more confident.
Kind, honest, and caring.
Patients pick me because I am trustworthy. I am humble and try to get to know my patients, understand their goals, and lay out a realistic plan. I am not sure if it is so unique to make someone feel comfortable, but I certainly hope to achieve that.
Dr. Lyle and his staff are the best! Dr. Lyle performed a breast revision that was needed for my breast reconstruction, due to a double mastectomy. After 4 years of breast surgeries, I’m finally able look in the mirror and feel normal! I can’t thank Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center enough!
Dr. Lyle, Brittany and Haley are absolutely AMAZING. From the beginning of my consultation to the post op they have all been so kind, helpful, knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. This was a huge decision to have this procedure done and I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful for the experience I had with the entire staff. Everyone is always smiles and delightful I couldn’t ask for a better group of individuals. Thank you for everything and all you do. You are all the BEST.
I had a mommy makeover and did it breaking it into two surgeries instead of at the same time. Dr Lyle and his staff were awesome!!! They made me feel comfortable, explained everything thoroughly and helped me through each process!!!! I highly recommend this team if you are looking for a good, professional, reliable, and trustworthy place to go for surgery!!! I am so thankful I found this place!!!

I am a 2 time cancer survivor and Dr. LYLE has been my cancer surgeon since I was 29. I got cancer at 29 then again at 43 and I am 49 now. He stopped doing breast reconstruction after I got my second cancer and he still came and did my reconstruction. He didn’t have to but he did. He has been my surgeon for 20 years now. Stephanie at the office is great too.
