Low carb diet better than low fat for high blood pressure
Low carb vs. low fat the debate rages on! A recent local article claims that low carb will lower blood pressure better than low fat. The theory is that the low carb acts as a diuretic and the low fat may retain sodium, thus not having as impressive a result on lowering blood pressure.
High blood pressure is a concern in patients seeking plastic surgery. Dr Stuart Kincaid a board certified plastic surgeon serving La Jolla, San Diego, The Inland Empire, and Riverside County, follows safe medical gguidelines and requires independent medical clearance for patients 50 and over. If the patient has controlled and stable blood pressure they may still be a candidate for plastic surgery; however, the recommendation will vary based on the patient. Facelift, rhinoplasty, breast reduction, and abdominoplasty are some of the procedures in which an elevated blood pressure could cause complications. Dr Stuart Kincaid encourages his patients not to loose hope if their surgery has to be postponed due to high blood pressure. Most patients are able to work with their doctor to control their high blood pressure and proceed with surgery. Dr Stuart Kincaid believes in building relationships with patients to ensure the greatest long-term experience.

The stress of trying to get pregnant can be consuming
The frustration of young women trying desperately to get pregnant without resorting to fertility drugs is unmatched by almost any other roller coaster of emotions women feel. A recent report on our local channel 10 news station, revealed a possible link between diet and a woman’s ovulation cycle. Exercise, diet, and weight were all considered very important factors. The report suggested more vegetables , plenty of water, and surprisingly a few scoops of ice cream. The woman interviewed in the story was more than willing to try a different diet if it would help her to get pregnant.
Dr Stuart Kincaid reminds his patients that are trying to get pregnant not to forget about good skin care. The stress of the whole process can cause changes in the skin. Dr Kincaid recommends medical grade skin care products as well as facials. A chemical peel is a great idea now before the patient is pregnant. Photorejuvenation is also a good treatment to even skin tone beforee embarking on a nine month pregnancy. As you might imagine, once the patient is pregnant few procedures can be performed. This includes most injectables including Botox. The good news is 
nce the baby is born Dr Stuart Kincaid is proud to help guide the patient to a much improved post pregnancy body.

Marathons help athletes maintain a great body
Sign on San Diego online media source reported the story of Lynn Flanagan’s marathons that she created years ago in Carlsbad. Her thirty year involvement has produced many stories and victories for runners around the world. As a runner herself it is no surprise that her body at sixty-nine years old is in great shape. While she has cut her running schedule back a bit she still runs an impressive full running schedule.
Dr Stuart Kincaid consults with athletic patients who have concerns about their body and want to explore plastic surgery as an option. As athletes often times they are very concerned about lost exercise time during recovery if they choose to have surgery. Dr Stuart Kincaid tells his patients that for most plastic surgery procedures patients can return to working out in about 14 days. Walking is permitted after most procedures right away. Procedures such as rhinoplasty, or facelifts require the patients to watch the elevation of their blood pressure very carefully. Swelling can occur and delay the healing time. Athletes make excellent plastic surgery patients as they tend to be in good health and as they improve in their stamina and training their plastic surgery results in many cases look better and better .

Life after divorce could include plastic surgery
It is debatable why the public (especially Southern California) has such an insatiable appetite for celebrity “news”. Marriages end in divorce in Hollywood at a rate that seems higher than the general population. The latest to join the ranks, according to San Diego 10 news, Dennis Hopper 73, filed for divorce and wants custody of the couples 6 year-old daughter. Yes, that does read 6 years old. Divorce is painful and difficult on the general population, being in the spotlight is doubtfully any easier. Some people believe that the break up of a marriage is the perfect time to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing look.
Dr Stuart Kincaid, with over 20 years of experience, has consulted with hundreads of women seeking a new look for their new life. Patients generally elect for body procedures first. These would include an abdominoplasty, liposuction, and breast augmentation. More mature patients tend to feel a need to have a more youthful and fresh face. Dr Stuart Kincaid recommends a full face lift, which includes the neck as well as an eyelift to create a more open and energetic look. Divorce is sad but doesn’t have to be the end of a persons life.

California is hoping to lead the way as newly proposed legislation will force HMO’s to see patients within a quicker time frame than currently being enforced. Patients complain of long waits for checkups and in office visits. These regulations, according to the San Diego article ,if adopted will be nearly impossible to enforce.
Dr Stuart Kincaid can relate to the frustration patients feel when they are told they must wait. Dr Stuart Kincaid prides himself on his staff’s attentiveness to his patients. Both new and existing patients are seen promptly and according to their recommended recovery schedule (if applicable). If patients request to see Dr. Stuart Kincaid more quickly, they are accommodated promptly. Surgeries such as facelifts,abdominoplsty, and other invasive procedures require an attentive follow-up as well as a thorough consultation prior to surgery. The recovery for these types of procedures can be particularly tough, however with Dr Stuart Kincaid and his knowledgeable and personable staff, patients get through the recovery period remarkably well. Dr Kincaid follows recommended ASPS guidelines to ensure safety in the surgical facility. Minimizing risk and encouraging open patient communication is an important part of Dr Stuart Kincaid’s success.

No if ands or butts...a nice shape makes the jeans
There has been a great deal of attention in the media paid to a shapely backside. It turns out that a new sneaker claims to shape any woman’s backside just by wearing the sneakers and walking. Our local on line San Diego source published an articlethat instructed readers to exercise with weights and do squats. The exercise claims to work the glutes creating a firm and sexy backside. Common sense dictates that results will vary with this exercise as every body frame is different.
Dr Stuart Kincaid consults with women that are disapointed with the loss of volume in their backside. This happens usually as a result of aging or it could be from loosing a large amount of weight. Women may find it difficult to look sexy in jeans or a fitted dress. Dr Stuart Kincaid offers liposuctionunder the butt and above the butt as an option for adding shape to the butt. Patients need to be prepared for the recovery which will require the patient wear a compression garment for approximately three to four weeks. Dr Stuart Kincaid does not offer fat transfer. This is a procedure in which transfer of the patients own fat in a liquefied state is injected into the buttocks area. The patient will only retain about 30% of the fat injected. It is very unpredictable and patients can not be assured that enough of the fat will remain. Patients enjoy many additional wardrobe choices with their new sexy shape once Dr Stuart Kincaid liposuctions around the butt area.

Tanning beds could use stricter warnings
The danger of tanning beds has been well documented for many years. Most tanning salons have patients sign consent forms that clearly detail the increased risk for skin cancer. Of course, if you were to ask most tanners they don’t really take the consent forms very seriously. After all we live in a society that tends to believe what happens quickly to be the truth. In other words, because people do not get skin cancer right away…they don’t believe it can happen to them. If the FDA steps up and makes the warnings stronger it could save lives.
Dr Stuart Kincaid consults with patients helping to determine if they have skin cancer. He checks moles, birthmarks and any changes that have become part of the mark.If the mark has changed in size or color Dr Stuart Kincaid lets the patient know that it is considered suspicious. Dr Stuart Kincaid’s patients choose him to remove their suspicious moles and birthmarks because they want the scar to be as aesthetically pleasing as possible. Few patients realize that the excision of suspicious moles and birthmarks has to include the margin completely around the suspicious area. The area is usually larger than the patient anticipated. Dr Stuart Kincaid uses his artistic hands and skill to create the least noticeable scar.

It's hard to loose weight when your husband is still eating pizza
Here we are past the middle of January and most of us have slipped away from our new years resolution to get in tip top shape. One of the main reasons:we lack a good support system. A recent San Diego article reported on the damage a spouse can contribute when continuing bad eating habits in plain view of the spouse who is trying to loose weight. Relationships can make or break a fitness plan.
Dr Stuart Kincaid explains to his patients the importance of a good support system when having plastic surgery. Most procedures including breast augmentation, liposuction, facelift, and abdominoplasty require an adult to stay with the patient for a minimum of 24 hours. Patients are not permited to drive themselves home. Dr Stuart Kincaid explains that the caretaker must be responsible and able to follow instructions given by the doctor. It is also important that the patient is clear on the post operative instructions and has someone to drive them to the first post operative appointment. Patients are not permitted to drive if they are taking pain medication. Dr Stuart Kincaid instructs his patients to avoid selecting care takers who will not have the time to care for them properly. The goal of plastic surgery is to have a positive experience even through the recovery period.

A sexy backside increases a woman's wardrobe choices
It is interesting how the aging of women affects the body. A recent study reported that the bottom heavy population may be healthier than those with fat around the middle of the waist. Some patients do not have enough fat in their backside to provide a sexy backside.
Dr Stuart Kincaid understands the desire women have to fit the new styles of skinny jeans and low rise pants.While women may request “a bigger butt” Dr Stuart Kincaid helps them to understand that the overall waist is what may need a reshaping. Dr Stuart Kincaid performs abdominoplasty or tummy tuck which flattens the abdomen in the front. He expertly shapes the love handles and the fat pad right above the butt.This helps the butt to appear as if it has more volume. When Dr Stuart Kincaid makes the front of the abdomen flat and the sides are tapered in the butt actually appears to have a better shape. Dr Stuart Kincaid encourages patients to try this recommendation if appropriate before opting for fat grafting or butt implants. This more conservative approach is a great option for the right candidates.

- Plastic Surgeons have always spent time with their patients
Health care is front page news these days. Americans struggle to figure out how the US will handle health care. A recent local article covered the trend of “concierge” or “boutique”medicine. Patients pay an annual fee to allow their doctor to have less patients so that the doctor can spend more time with each patient. Patients are willing to pay because they enjoy the special attention.
Dr Stuart Kincaid finds it quite interesting that patients pay a premium for what board certified plastic surgeons have provided all along. A comfortable communicative relationship should exist with every plastic surgery patient and their doctor. Dr Stuart Kincaid offers consultations for face lifts, breast augmentation, liposuction and his full menu of procedures. The consultations are at least one hour in length and patients are encouraged to ask as many questions as the patient feels necessary. Dr Stuart Kincaid and staff present multiple before and after photos of procedures for the patients review. Dr Stuart Kincaid and his staff are careful to review photos with the patients so that questions can be answered right away. Dr Kincaid explains to his patients that his time with them is assured. He values the patient doctor relationship and realizes that it is at the center of every patient experience.
