We do a lot of writing about cosmetic procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) but we don’t say much about one of the top female plastic surgeon’s in Chicago, and this website’s founder, Dr Laurie Casas. So let us embellish a bit.
Dr. Laurie Casas has been proudly serving the Chicago North Shore area and has been named one of the top plastic surgeons in Chicago since 1992. The New York Times also ranked Dr. Casas as one of the top 5 Plastic Surgeons to perform breast augmentation in the country. Therefore, being one of the top female plastic surgeons in the […]

Below is a list to which you may want to refer when interviewing or considering a Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Be on guard if your prospective surgeon says he/she ‘does everything’.
Ask your surgeon what he/she does most often and don’t be afraid to ask for more details!
Do some research before you meet a prospective plastic surgeon. Check to see if he/she is board certified. It is easy to determine whether a doctor is board certified in Plastic Surgery, simply go to www.abplsurg.org or www.surgery.org
Ask to see photos or talk to a former […]
Question: How long does cosmetic surgery last?
Answer: This question comes up frequently in consultations and it should! It is important!
What I tell patients is this:
For many surgeries, the results can last for years, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle (healthy diet, routine exercise and adequate amounts of sleep).
No matter how good a cosmetic surgeon is, bodies and faces will continue to age. And they will also be exposed to the elements (sun, wind, etc.), not to mention biohazards and carcinogens such as smoke and pollution.
Think of yourself as the owner of an exquisite, intricate very expensive machine. (You […]
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 […]
Question: Are teenagers appropriate candidates for cosmetic plastic surgery?
Answer: It truly depends on the individual.
The consultation is an important time for both of us (the teenaged patient and myself) to evaluate if the timing and expectations are a good match. If it is not clear that the patient is emotionally mature, and has reasonable expectations, I do not believe it is appropriate for that teenager to undergo plastic surgery. Cosmetic plastic surgery is a commitment to change and it is essential to know and understand your reasons for wanting to make this change. As physicians, we have an ethical responsibility […]
“Dr. Laurie Casas, a Chicago-area aesthetic surgeon, was one of the few female surgeons who had a visible role in the conference leadership this year. Casas, who is president of the Aesthetic Surgery Education and Research Foundation, says the gender divide in ASAPS is easily explainable… Why an estimated 94 percent of Casas’ surgery patients are female requires a more complicated explanation.”
