Dr. Laurie Casas is quoted in Crain’s Article about Chicago executives who seek to “turn back the clock” through the use of plastic surgery.
“There was a time when the only men coming in were men 45 to 50 wanting eyelid surgery. That still is popular,” says Dr. Laurie A. Casas, spokeswoman for the Arlington Heights-based American Society of Plastic Surgeons and associate professor of surgery at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. But now, she says, executives also want Botox shots, laser surgeries and microdermabrasion.
“Everyone wants to look in the mirror and see themselves refreshed, awake and alert,” she says. […]
Question:Im wondering about sun squint lines, going horizontal on the top part of my nose and then up and down lines just between my brows, which create darkness and make me look like I’m mad or something….can these be “erased” without surgery? I realize Botox would be needed probably, but can those lines “really” be filled without making that area look swollen?”
Answer: Squint lines can be addressed a couple of different ways. A simple immediate solution would be to eliminate the problem all together by investing in a pair of wrap around sunglasses. Wrap around sunglasses will greatly reduce any […]
There have always been a number of questions regarding the safety of Botox and possible side-effects. Now with the recent report released by the Journal of Neuroscience on April 2nd, which studied side effects of botulinum toxin (an active ingredient in botox) those questions are escalating. People are asking “Is Botox Safe?” “Will botox go into my brain?” or simply “What are side effects of Botox?” all of these are common questions and deserved to be addressed.
Lets start with a quick briefing on what Botox is. Botox is a neuro toxin that has been in use since the first in […]

It’s safe to say that trends are shifting and injectable treatments are now “accepted” options for everyday women! The Aesthetic Surgery Education & Research Foundation (ASERF) released results from a recent survey illustrating just that fact.
“In a similar survey issued four years ago, we dispelled the myth that Hollywood and corporate wives were the typical BOTOX® Cosmetic patient,” says ASERF President Laurie Casas, MD, a plastic surgeon practicing in suburban Chicago. “Now, demographic and perception data trends show us that aesthetic injectable treatments have continued to evolve into mainstream and accepted options for the everyday woman.”
Here are some of the […]
Question: Are facial fillers safe and reliable, and how do I know which one is best for me?
Answer: Excellent question.
Yes, they are safe if performed by a qualified surgeon who has evaluated you in a safe environment such as a doctor’s office or medispa that is physician owned and operated.
Dr. Casas strongly urges her patients to ask the following questions when considering any injectable:
Is this a qualified physician/surgeon in an appropriately licensed facility, and does he or she administer these injectables regularly?
Is the injectable approved and recommended by the FDA? Make sure it is name brand only. There is no […]

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 […]
Your voices were heard by the Senate. “Botax” the proposed tax on cosmetic procedures was dropped from the Senate health reform legislation… Thousands of citizens, like you, strongly objected to the Botax which as we all know would have been highly discriminatory (primarily aimed at the female population since 86% of all procedures are requested by women, and 91% are working women). Without your help, there would not have been enough opposition to make a difference.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU !!!
