Introduction to Breast Lift and Auto Augmentation Mastopexy
A breast lift at Casas Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Glenview brings everything back to where it belongs, restoring a naturally elevated shape that looks balanced, supported, and proportionate.
Over time, skin stretches, and tissue settles. What makes a lift so appealing is how it refines the contour without necessarily changing your size, giving clients natural-looking results.
According to the ASPS, “in 2024, breast lift surgery was performed 153,616 times in the United States, making it one of the most frequently chosen cosmetic surgical procedures of the year.”1

Introduction to Mommy Makeover
Many women just want their bodies back after pregnancy and nursing. This process always starts with developing a healthy nutritional and exercise plan to restore your core muscle tone and strength.
But pregnancy changes the body in ways that do not always bounce back with diet and workouts alone. Skin stretches, muscles separate, and breast tissue shifts. That is where a tailored combination of treatments at Casas Plastic Surgery in the greater Chicago area can step in to refine what exercise cannot fully address.

Recently, a myth started in the lay press that breast augmentation using your own fat could be performed during your lunchtime. Unfortunately, as appealing as this may be it is not true. The procedure of using your own fat that is removed from your body and then injected into your breasts may be a safe procedure however as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I would recommend that you wait until the clinical research is complete. As a member of our two major Societies, ASPS (American Society of Plastic surgery) and ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) we only want […]
There is no proven association between Breast enhancement surgery and suicide, despite recent reports that women in a Swedish study who had breast augmentation surgery appeared to have a higher incidence of suicide than the general population.
Many published scientific reports do not support this confusing conclusion. In fact, in 2006 in the USA over 300,000 women chose to have breast enhancement surgery according to ASPS and ASAPS. And according to published data, women who have had Breast Augmentation surgery are extremely satisfied. So this Swedish study actually contradicts the published data that shows women who have had breast enhancement have […]
Have you heard of the cosmetic surgery tax which was part of the recent Senate Health Reform bill?
At the 11th hour, a cosmetic surgery tax provision was slipped in the Senate Health Reform bill. The proposal asks for the consumer who undergoes an elective cosmetic procedure, to pay a 5 % tax to the government for any procedure like Botox, Fillers, Breast Augmentations and Lifts, Tummy Tucks, Facelifts and Body Contouring. However, the bill states that even insurance covered procedures may be taxed! Will our senators and representatives also tax breast reconstruction and the opposite breast for procedures that help […]
ASPS has launched a hotline for our members and their patients to contact their Senators on the 5% cosmetic tax. Senators say they are not hearing from you and your patients. ASPS has spoken publicly against the addition of this tax and relayed many arguments against it to Congress and the press. We urge you to do the same! Now that debate has begun, reaching out to your Senators is more vital than ever.
Once you have reviewed the talking points, use the toll-free hotline at 1-877-221-8207 and urge your Senators to block this tax. Once you call in, you will […]
