I have been asked a number of questions from my patients about Restylane® and wanted to share with you some important facts about this injectable filler range.
Restylane®is the trade name for a range of injectable fillers with a specific formulation of non-animal sourced hyaluronic acid. Restylane was the first stabilized hyaluronic acid filler on the market and reportedly has been used in over 11 million treatments worldwide. This number of worldwide treatments is quite impressive and speaks for the safety of the product.
In the United States of America, Restylane® was the first hyaluronic acid filler to be approved by the […]

Dysport™ is a FDA approved Botulinum toxin injection which is used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines in adults .

We recently beautified the lips using Restylane of one of our happy clients. Here is the story:
“I have always been embarrassed that my upper lip was so thin that I could not even use lip liner or lip stick to make it look normal. I read about how Restylane was the only FDA approved dermal filler for lip enhancement so I decided to meet with a board certified Plastic Surgeon that has a lot of experience in lip restoration, both cosmetic and reconstructive. Dr. Casas was so understanding when we met on my initial consultation. She and her staff helped […]

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 […]
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?

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”
