Question: Are facial fillers safe and reliable, and how do I know which one is best for me?
Answer: Excellent question.
Yes, they are safe if performed by a qualified surgeon who has evaluated you in a safe environment such as a doctor’s office or medispa that is physician owned and operated.
Dr. Casas strongly urges her patients to ask the following questions when considering any injectable:
Is this a qualified physician/surgeon in an appropriately licensed facility, and does he or she administer these injectables regularly?
Is the injectable approved and recommended by the FDA? Make sure it is name brand only. There is no […]

Have you heard of the cosmetic surgery tax which was part of the recent Senate Health Reform bill?
At the 11th hour, a cosmetic surgery tax provision was slipped in the Senate Health Reform bill. The proposal asks for the consumer who undergoes an elective cosmetic procedure, to pay a 5 % tax to the government for any procedure like Botox, Fillers, Breast Augmentations and Lifts, Tummy Tucks, Facelifts and Body Contouring. However, the bill states that even insurance covered procedures may be taxed! Will our senators and representatives also tax breast reconstruction and the opposite breast for procedures that help […]
Question: If I want to look my best for my wedding, (I am in my mid 30’s) who should I consult?
Answer: First you should consult with someone like me, a Board certified Plastic Surgeon who will honestly review your options for helping to make your dreams become a reality. Brides want to look their best for many reasons. It is a very special day and most brides are photographed quite a bit. I always recommend a good skincare program but especially before the wedding, it is a good idea to ‘step it up’ with professional exfoliation like a Blue Peel […]
Question: I’d love to consider doing a few cosmetic “improvements” before the holidays but don’t have much time to commit to a long recovery. I’m wondering if there are outpatient procedures that don’t require extensive recoveries and expenses. What do you recommend for somebody who would like to look refreshed and at her best for the holiday season??
Answer: The holidays are filled with friends, photos, parties…why not do something for yourself that helps you look your best?
I always like to provide options as I believe people have different needs, desires and budgets. There truly is something for everyone and we […]
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 […]
Improved Cosmetic Procedures Let You Be You
Dr. Laurie Casas is quoted in the Chicago Tribune in an article about cosmetic procedures which allow patients to feel like the best version of themselves. Dr. Casas says that four times as many of her patients, including senior patients, get injections as they do surgery. Various injections can do things like ease lines in the forehead, plump a wrinkled upper lip, or fill out a sunken cheek.
“All of this has made a difference and I’m very satisfied with the results,” she says. “It took five to seven years off, and when you’re working […]
