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.

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. […]
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.

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 […]
Question: I just saw a report about the PIP silicone breast implants from France. Are those implants here in the US, and are they the same ones that Dr. Casas may have used on me?
Answer: French Investigators found that the (now defunct) company called Poly Implant Protheses (PIP) were using inferior quality silicone, not medical–grade quality, and that more than 1,000 women in France have had one or two implants break.
Dr. Casas has never used PIP products. PIP saline and silicone were actually taken off the US market years ago and have not been available. Dr. Casas is well aware […]
