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. […]
Dr. Laurie Casas discusses various facelift techniques in the Orange County Register. Surgeons cannot accurately inform patients of how long results will last with new techniques such as the “Feather Lift” and the “Lifestyle Lift.” In contrast, Dr. Casas can give patients a reasonable expectation with traditional facelifts. She says,
“Traditional facelifts have stood the test of time.”

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 […]
Question: When can you see the final results from your lower eyelid surgery; three months, four, six or a year?
Answer: For those who aren’t too familiar as to who or why one would have eyelid surgery (aka blepharoplasty), here is the scoop: patients typically suffer from excess skin of upper or lower lids! This excess skin can lead to bags, droopiness, wrinkles and can even lead to impaired vision in some cases. Having the blepharoplasty procedure done removes the excess skin and will leave patients with a rejuvenated appearance!
For those who decide to have the blepharoplasty surgery the after care […]
Question:To begin, I’m in my early twenties. At this point I don’t realistically need surgical procedures. I’m very well disciplined in no smoking, sleeping on my back, using moisturizer, sun screen and eye cream, 8 glasses of water a day and such. Are their any suggestions you have to aging gracefully at a young age?
Answer: Sounds as if you’re already doing a great job of taking the extra steps in ensuring you age as gracefully! In addition to what you are currently doing you may want to incorporate the following into your lifestyle to ensure that all bases are covered!

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 […]
