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 […]
We do a lot of writing about cosmetic procedures (both surgical and non-surgical) but we don’t say much about one of the top female plastic surgeon’s in Chicago, and this website’s founder, Dr Laurie Casas. So let us embellish a bit.
Dr. Laurie Casas has been proudly serving the Chicago North Shore area and has been named one of the top plastic surgeons in Chicago since 1992. The New York Times also ranked Dr. Casas as one of the top 5 Plastic Surgeons to perform breast augmentation in the country. Therefore, being one of the top female plastic surgeons in the […]
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 work out constantly and I still cannot seem to decrease my flabby arms. The hanging skin bothers me so much that I want to consider a surgical option if there is one. Is that possible?
Answer: After a thorough evaluation we will decide if liposuction, mini brachioplasty or full brachioplasty is the appropriate procedure for you. If you are a good candidate I can perform a procedure called Brachioplasty (Arm Lift), which is an excellent means of eliminating excess skin in the upper arm area. It is on an outpatient basis and patients typically return to work in 2-3 […]
Question: I would love to know if there is any type of surgery that can reduce the size of my breasts without submitting to a full breast reduction! I am not considered a candidate by my Insurance Company for the Breast Reduction surgery but it is something that has been an issue for me personally. As an athlete, I am constantly binding them down (wear 2 heavy sport bras!) and would love to go down 1 size. I am medium build.
Answer: Depending on the density of your breasts (which may be evaluated during a consultation) you may be a perfect […]
