Enhanced Lips – I am very Happy!

We recently beautified the lips using Restylane of one of our happy clients.

Dr. Casas Quoted in L.A. Times – Silicone: Now a solid ‘maybe’

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 […]

Myth of Lunchtime Breast Augmentation with your own Fat

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 […]

Many published scientific reports do not support this confusing conclusion. In fact, in 2006 in the USA over 300,000 women chose to have breast enhancement surgery according to ASPS and ASAPS. And according to published data, women who have had Breast Augmentation surgery are extremely satisfied. So this Swedish study actually contradicts the published data that shows women who have had breast enhancement have […]
