Philosophy

As an academic cosmetic plastic surgeon, Dr. Casas is committed to excellence. Her holistic approach to patient care reflects her acute attention and detailed concern for her patient's surgical results as well as the patient's well-being.

Dr. Casas has long believed that a beautiful person is one who feels good about oneself. In today's society, looking your best can have a tremendous effect on confidence, both personally and professionally. With the myriad of advancements in plastic surgery today, there are many new procedures available for anyone interested in enhancing one's physical appearance. It is her belief that, when performed for the right reasons, cosmetic surgery is a positive, healthy life-changing event. In 1990, she developed a hospital-based cosmetic surgery program at Glenbrook Hospital, Evanston Northwestern Healthcare Hospital, which has been named one of the top 100 Hospitals in the United States for six consecutive years.

Patients from all over the world have consulted Dr. Casas, each of whom have individual needs and ideas. One of the hallmarks of Dr. Casas' approach is in considering the individual - the facial features, body structure, one's profession and lifestyle, one's age and one's definition of beauty. For that reason, she really listens to a patient's concerns and desires. She combines the patients' desires with her extensive experience to develop a strategic surgical, and often non-surgical plan to achieve the patients' goals. She devotes a tremendous amount of time and attention to her patients, both pre and post-operatively. Preparation for surgery involves vitamins, nutrition counseling and education aimed at preparing the patient for surgery and keeping them fully informed.

Post-operative care involves frequent follow-ups, massage therapy and continued vitamin and nutrition therapy and an individualized return to exercise program. In effect, a patient is her "partner" in the exciting journey to an enhanced image. Each patient is unique. Her intense and focused approach simultaneously instills confidence and soothes each patient since they realize that they will not be "cookie-cuttered" into a mold that might not be desirable to all. She believes that for most, there is either a surgical or a non-surgical solution to the aesthetic "problem". Her goal is to help the patients reach their own goals!
