Question: What Alternatives Are There to Liposuction?
Answer: No procedure has the safety and result profile that liposuction has, however, I believe that soon we will have safe chemicals that we will be able to inject that will dissolve small areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. Hopefully we will also have non invasive devices that will dissolve fat by heating it to higher temperatures that will reduce fat and also promote skin elasticity.

Question: What can I do about broken capillaries on my face?
Answer: I highly recommend considering laser treatment for facial veins and broken capillaries. The Palomar Laser offers an excellent solution to this common problem.
Using the principle of photothermolysis (light and heat), the treatment targets different areas of the skin which selectively absorbs the light energy as heat and yields the desired response. These damaged vessels blanch, and are then absorbed by the body within 10-14 days, effectively removing the appearance of the vessel from the skin.
Currently, there is no topical solution as effective as laser for the removal or reduction […]
Question:
My skin seems to suffer more in the winter – what do you recommend for treating clogged pores and combination oily/very dry skin?
Answer: Skin is visibly affected by extremes in temperature and requires extra care, especially if you have combination or excessively dry skin. My recommendation is to start a good, guided skincare routine that is developed specifically for you. If you have dry skin, use a gentle cleanser, toner and daily moisturizer that will help you maintain a healthy radiant appearance. I advise my patients to use the Clarisonic Skincare system which is an excellent method of deep cleansing […]
Question:
I’m 48 but my eyes say otherwise! What can I do to make my eyes look younger and not so saggy??? I look so tired.
Answer:
I hear this from my patients frequently. Blepharoplasty (surgery performed to improve the appearance of eyelids) is an excellent solution. I believe this is one of the most rewarding procedures because you will literally “see” your looks transform and improve!
For many individuals, an upper blepharoplasty can be done under local anesthesia in my office. The procedure is outpatient, lasts about one hour and is virtually painless. Results are usually seen in less than one week with […]
A panel of experts, including Laurie A. Casas, MD, explored the topic of breast asymmetry in relation to breast augmentation at the Annual Meeting of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). Discussed were the spectrum of problems as well as advice on surgical considerations.
“The key to a high patient satisfaction rate is to fully inform the patient that this kind of augmentation is extremely challenging, but that using a detailed analytic approach, we can achieve a very aesthetically pleasing outcome within the limits set by their preoperative anatomic characteristics,” said Dr. Casas.

Question: What do you think would be the best way to make me look less haggard, saggy , wrinkly, and ‘caved in’? When I compare and look at pictures of myself from 10 years ago, my cheeks were much higher and fuller – now they are sunken looking, with large folds and wrinkles and it makes me look older but I don’t think I’m ready for a Facelift!
