Question: What do breasts look like after the implants are removed and what if replacements aren’t wanted? Will the breast then be smaller than the original size? Saggy?
Answer: The breasts will look exactly like they did before the augmentation if the implant was placed under the muscle. Only the changes of aging, hormones and weight will affect the breast tissue that sits over the implant. If, however, the implant was placed over the muscle and was very large there may be sagging from the weight of the implant that stretched out the skin. But it should be noted that when […]

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.”

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 […]
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 […]

Dr. Casas was asked to be the voice of reason regarding a procedure called “nonsurgical nose job” on Fox news Chicago last Friday. “It is an excellent tool to help patients temporarily see how their nose can look when it is smoothed out by adding a filler. This “off label” use of a filler can temporarily change the appearance of the nose”
