QuestionI have lost 65 pounds and now look like a melting candle. What options do I have for my sagging arms, stomach, thighs?
Answer Congratulations on the weight loss! I understand the need to alter the “melting candle” look resulting from this dramatic drop in weight. To achieve your desired image we might be looking at a couple of different procedures. Typically if you have poor elasticity and extra skin, surgical excision is needed. You may need bracelets, abdominoplasty and thigh lift.
An abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) procedure will remove excess skin/fat from the abdomen area. During an initial consultation we’ll examine your […]
Question: After lipo do you need a tummy tuck? Is there alot of skin left hanging?
Answer: You may or may not need both. It depends on an individuals skin elasticity. When a patient has rapid weight gains or losses (pregnancy for example) sometimes the skin does not bounce back. The patient can pull it away and it sags. So these patients, regardless of their age, need skin resection when that body part is addressed. Evaluating a persons skin elasticity is a key element for all body contouring procedures. The best way to evaluate that is to come in for a […]
Question: Does low level light therapy help grow hair back? I have seen some good results!
Answer: Dr. Casas’s partner, Dr. Josie Tenore from Turn Back Time medispa has been kind enough to answer this one! According to Dr. Tenore:
“There are some preliminary studies that have shown this to be true. In fact there are some devices on the market that are sold for this purpose. That said, the results are less reliable than those we get for hair reduction treatments. The stats on that is that 10% of patients do not respond, even if they are ‘good candidates’, meaning those […]

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 […]
Question: Are there any clinical advantages to Breast Reduction surgery other than simply reducing the size because they look too big for my body?
Answer: Breast Reduction surgery can improve one’s overall appearance AND help alleviate recurring symptoms that women with large breasts often experience.
Some of those include rashes underneath the breasts as well as shoulder, neck and back pain. Deep grooving in the shoulder area can also happen when bra straps dig into the skin. In addition, overly large breasts can cause premature sagging of the skin, causing the nipples to point downward. All of these effects can be corrected, […]
Why is it significant that the FDA approved Sculptra for cosmetic use? What is it & why is it different from a filler?
The good news is that the FDA has now given Sculptra it’s official stamp of approval for cosmetic use based on solid, consistent evidence that it works cosmetically and effectively! Sculptra has been used for the correction of wrinkles and facial aging for years with an FDA approval pending.
This is a long lasting treatment that offers reliable facial volume for flat, deflated cheeks that can lead to a “jowl-y appearance” of the lower face. By using Sculptra in […]
