Introduction to Rhinoplasty
There’s a reason the nose draws so much attention; it sits at the center of the face, influencing how every other feature is perceived. Even subtle imbalances in shape, projection, or symmetry can shift the overall harmony of your appearance, sometimes in ways that are difficult to explain but impossible to ignore. For many patients, it’s not about wanting a different nose; it’s about wanting a nose that feels like it truly belongs to them.
Rhinoplasty is one of the most intricate and individualized procedures in facial plastic surgery, requiring both technical precision and an aesthetic […]

Introduction to Facelift
Turning back the signs of aging in the face and neck can range from using nonsurgical options to electing a facelift (rhytidectomy) and neck lift. Facial aging is accelerated by gravity, excessive sun exposure, and smoking. The signs are seen on the surface of the face and neck skin as wrinkles and in the deeper layers of the face and neck as soft-tissue loss, which intensifies skin sagging. As a result, many people consider facelifts to mitigate these physical attributes while still maintaining a natural-looking appearance.

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.

The breast implants’ approval by the FDA was not fine-print free. Women must weigh the impact, and costs, of follow-up care.
By Melissa Healy, Times Staff Writer November 27, 2006
The days before Thanksgiving are typically quiet in the offices of plastic surgeons. But a long-awaited decision to approve silicone breast implants for women older than 22 prompted a flurry of excited calls and inquiries last week from prospective patients.
The giddy welcome may not last. Even as the two U.S. manufacturers of silicone implants gleefully projected a surge in demand for their products, physicians began poring over the fine print of […]
Question: Does low level light therapy help grow hair back? I have seen some good results!
Answer: Dr. Casas’s partner, Dr. Josie Tenore from Turn Back Time medispa has been kind enough to answer this one! According to Dr. Tenore:
“There are some preliminary studies that have shown this to be true. In fact there are some devices on the market that are sold for this purpose. That said, the results are less reliable than those we get for hair reduction treatments. The stats on that is that 10% of patients do not respond, even if they are ‘good candidates’, meaning those […]
