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.

Once I saw her there was no need to look further. She reviewed all my options and discussed my case with my primary care physician. We decided to go with a combination procedure to remove the breast tissue lump on each side […]
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.
