ASPS has launched a hotline for our members and their patients to contact their Senators on the 5% cosmetic tax. Senators say they are not hearing from you and your patients. ASPS has spoken publicly against the addition of this tax and relayed many arguments against it to Congress and the press. We urge you to do the same! Now that debate has begun, reaching out to your Senators is more vital than ever.
Once you have reviewed the talking points, use the toll-free hotline at 1-877-221-8207 and urge your Senators to block this tax. Once you call in, you will […]
Your voices were heard by the Senate. “Botax” the proposed tax on cosmetic procedures was dropped from the Senate health reform legislation… Thousands of citizens, like you, strongly objected to the Botax which as we all know would have been highly discriminatory (primarily aimed at the female population since 86% of all procedures are requested by women, and 91% are working women). Without your help, there would not have been enough opposition to make a difference.
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU !!!

Question: With all the options for Facial Soft tissue fillers available, why should I choose Restylane® or Perlane®?
Answer: Restylane® continues to be the #1 dermal filler in the world. Restylane® is a safe skin filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA) that is used to fill the aging lines of the face. Perlane® is a similar filler but because of it ‘s larger particle size, it is used for deep lines of the face. Both Restylane and Perlane are FDA approved for the treatment of moderate to deep facial wrinkles such as the nasolabial folds that are commonly found around the […]
Question: Why does Dr. Casas recommend injecting Sculptra ® Aesthetic in conjunction with topical Retin-A daily to restore a more youthful appearing face?
Does using topical Retin-A enhance the result of Sculptra® Aesthetic?
Reply: The combination of a Sculptra® Aesthetic treatment with consistent use of topical Retin-A continues to fascinate me. I completed a 106 patient study on the synergy of these two very effective treatments and found that their use in combination can be powerfully effective. Sculptra® Aesthetic is injected just below the skin and then proceeds to stimulate the growth of one’s own collagen through an inflammatory process. The Retin-A […]
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 […]

Dr. Casas, clinical associate professor of surgery at the University of Chicago Pritzer School of Medicine is quoted in Endless Beauty discussing “The Breast Ideas Post-Baby”.
“If a person nurses five to nine times a day, their breasts get larger, then deflate after each session,” says Dr. Laurie A. Casas. “This enlarging and shrinking takes a toll on skin elasticity.”

Question: In recent photographs, I noticed that it looks like I have a double chin or excess skin under my neck. I’m only 37! Am I ready for a Facelift/Necklift? Is there anything I can do to eliminate the turkey neck look?
Answer: Yes. There is a relatively simple, outpatient minimally invasive surgical procedure called Liposuction of the Neck. It is perfect for people whose skin elasticity is still intact yet you have a little sagging along and under the chin area and are not quite ready for a Necklift. I have performed hundreds of these procedures on men and women […]

Answer: I will provide information about a comprehensive facial rejuvenation program that will start whether or not you plan on a surgical facelift.
We will discuss all the surgical options for facial rejuvenation, like skin care, adding facial volume, upper and lower eyelid surgery, surgical and non surgical ways […]
Question: Is it true that Silicone breast implants are safe?
Answer: The short answer is yes. Silicone breast implants that are FDA approved since the lifting of the moratorium in 2006 are safe. The real issue is whether you are a good candidate for breast enlargement with either saline or silicone gel breast implants. Typically women who are in good health and who have either not had breast development (congenital Micromastia) or had normal breasts but saw them disappear after pregnancy or lactation or weight loss are excellent candidates for considering breast augmentation. The key is to come in to see […]
