Recently, a myth started in the lay press that breast augmentation using your own fat could be performed during your lunchtime. Unfortunately, as appealing as this may be it is not true. The procedure of using your own fat that is removed from your body and then injected into your breasts may be a safe procedure however as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I would recommend that you wait until the clinical research is complete. As a member of our two major Societies, ASPS (American Society of Plastic surgery) and ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) we only want […]
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 […]
After receiving an email inquiry regarding Lipodissolve I felt compelled to touch base on options available for fat removal.
What can you do to remove tummy fat?
Eliminate Simple Carbs From your Diet
Liposuction / Tummy Tuck
Eliminate Carbs.

Beer or alcohol with mixers are also major contributors to tummy fat so don’t over look eliminating […]

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”

Dr. Casas would like to emphasize “Non-surgical” nose reshaping can only temporarily alter features of your nose. It does this by adding […]
Recently a patient of mine recommended Jan Marini eyelash conditioner, so I gave it a try. I can honestly say that I have used it and it works! In fact it worked so well I’ve decided to start offering it myself.
Let me tell you a little bit about Jan Marini Eyelash Conditioner. It’s wonderful! It stimulates eyelash and eyebrow growth (Who doesn’t want fuller, thicker, longer lashes?). And you can start to notice hair growth in as little as 4 to 6 weeks. There are other alternatives to attaining fuller lashes, but this is hassle free and effective!
If this sounds […]
Question: I’ve heard that breast implants have to get replaced every 10 years, is that true and why?
Answer: This is not true. Breast implants do not need to be replaced every 10 years. However, saline and silicone implants do deflate slightly over time and replacement may be something some women consider. At 10 years the rates are about 10 percent for saline and 15 percent for silicone.

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: What are the different types of implants available and which are the most natural looking?
Answer: There are two types of implants: Saline Implants and Silicone. Both implants are available in a number of variations to best fit what your looking for.
Saline and Silicone Implants alterations:
Width: Figure out exactly what width correlates to desired cleavage
Volume: Pin-point which cup size would suite you
Projection: How much will stick out from your chest
Deciding which implant would be the most natural looking depends on your body type. The characteristics of your chest muscles and ribs, along with breasts, height and weight are key factors […]
Dr. Laurie Casas is quoted in an article posted in the March 2008 issue of Health Magazine. The article, Plastic Surgery by the Decade, covers 3 different age brackets of women who get breast enhancement procedures.
35 to 50 year old women account for more than half of all cosmetic breast procedures. Dr. Casas accounts for this saying,
“Most women want to get rid of the sagging due to the combined effects of gravity and years of having babies”
