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 […]
We wanted to share with you the testimonial of one of our delighted patients. Here is the story:
“My lips were disappearing over the years! I knew that lips normally deflate as you age, but my daughters wedding was approaching and I decided to investigate my options for facial rejuvenation including lip enhancement. Dr. Casas and her staff were amazing. They were so respectful of the fact that I wanted to look my best for this big day but also that I had a budget. Together Dr. Casas and I developed a strategy to help me look my best. It started […]
Question: I tend to go braless a lot when wearing tank tops and camisoles, especially in the summer. Could this have long term negative effects on my breast shape? Do you have any advice for how to help prevent breast sagging or help prevent worsening of my sagging breasts?
Answer: If your breasts are not properly supported, your breast ligaments can over stretch, which can make your breasts droop or sag. If your breasts are not supported, gravity can help to make breasts, especially heavy/large ones, sag or droop. It is important even for small breasted women to wear proper fitting […]
Dr. Laurie Casas is quoted in an article posted by Elle Magazine regarding Breast Enhancement, titled “Terms of Endowment”.Overall Elle Magazine highlights the fact that Breast Implants, contrary to some popular belief, do not last forever! The choice to get implants does infact mean that your new implants “won’t be your last pair”. Although this has not been affecting the popularity of breast enhancement surgery, one must simple ensure that patients are aware of the ‘maintence’ involved with this procedure.
Contracture can happen at any time, “starting from day one to year 40,” says Laurie A. Casas, MD, an associate professor […]
Question: Is the Promotion “The Breast Year Ever” on 97.9 FM legitimate?
Answer: Yes, it is – Dr. Casas was interviewed by Pete McMurray and Jane Monzures as they discussed saline and silicone breast implants that are being used for Reconstruction/Revision Surgery/ Enhancement & Post Pregnancy Deflation. 97.9 The Loop is funding an opportunity for a woman in need of breast reconstruction/revision surgery/reduction/augmentation for asymmetry or lack of development. It’s called the “Breast Year Ever”. Check it out at here!

Question: What do breasts look like after the implants are removed and what if replacements aren’t wanted? Will the breast then be smaller than the original size? Saggy?
Answer: The breasts will look exactly like they did before the augmentation if the implant was placed under the muscle. Only the changes of aging, hormones and weight will affect the breast tissue that sits over the implant. If, however, the implant was placed over the muscle and was very large there may be sagging from the weight of the implant that stretched out the skin. But it should be noted that when […]
The breast implants’ approval by the FDA was not fine-print free. Women must weigh the impact, and costs, of follow-up care.
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 […]
Recently, a myth started in the lay press that breast augmentation using your own fat could be performed during your lunchtime. Unfortunately, as appealing as this may be it is not true. The procedure of using your own fat that is removed from your body and then injected into your breasts may be a safe procedure however as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I would recommend that you wait until the clinical research is complete. As a member of our two major Societies, ASPS (American Society of Plastic surgery) and ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) we only want […]
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?

Beer or alcohol with mixers are also major contributors to tummy fat so don’t over look eliminating […]
Question: I’ve heard that breast implants have to get replaced every 10 years, is that true and why?
Answer: This is not true. Breast implants do not need to be replaced every 10 years. However, saline and silicone implants do deflate slightly over time and replacement may be something some women consider. At 10 years the rates are about 10 percent for saline and 15 percent for silicone.
