“Mommy Makeover” and “After Pregnancy” Resource
Notable Item: Dr. Laurie Casas lends her expertise to New Beauty Magazine in an article about breast enhancement surgery after pregnancy. Dr. Casas says that many new moms undergo breast augmentation in addition to a breast lift to restore volume and firmness to their brests. Pregnancy and lactation cause breast changes leading to smaller, more saggy breasts. Dr. Casas says,

Dr. Laurie Casas is quoted in an article posted by Elle Magazine regarding Breast Enhancement, titled “Terms of Endowment”.Overall Elle Magazine highlights the fact that Breast Implants, contrary to some popular belief, do not last forever! The choice to get implants does infact mean that your new implants “won’t be your last pair”. Although this has not been affecting the popularity of breast enhancement surgery, one must simple ensure that patients are aware of the ‘maintence’ involved with this procedure.
Contracture can happen at any time, “starting from day one to year 40,” says Laurie A. Casas, MD, an associate professor […]
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.
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 […]
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,

Your Healthy Recovery and Maintaining A Healthy Lifestyle
Smoking and Secondhand Smoke
Any exposure to smoke, either directly or indirectly, can result in poor wound healing, delayed wound healing, skin loss requiring skin grafting, and increased risk of infection. The diminished blood flow to the skin wound from smoking and secondhand smoke can cause the breakdown of skin and scabbing. For this reason Dr. Casas will not perform surgery requiring skin flaps (facelift, forehead lift, tummy tuck, breast reduction, breast lift) within two months of a patient’s smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke. This waiting period is one […]

Introduction to Buttock Lift
When it comes to the buttocks, volume is only part of the equation, since skin quality plays an equally important role. Over time, or following significant weight loss, the skin can lose its ability to retract, leading to sagging, flattening, or an uneven contour that no amount of exercise can fully correct.
A buttock lift addresses this at its source. Dr. Laurie Casas can remove excess skin and reshape the underlying tissue to make a more uplifted, smooth, aesthetically pleasing shape. At her Chicago-area practice, the focus is not just on lifting, but on achieving […]
