Eating a lot of fat, especially the kind that’s in cookies and pastries, can significantly raise the risk of stroke for women over 50, a large new study finds. The local channel 10 news covered the study and it’s findings.
We already know that diets rich in fat, particularly artery-clogging trans fat, are bad for the heart and the waistline.
The new study is the largest to look at stroke risk in women and across all types of fat. It showed a clear trend: Those who ate the most fat had a 44 percent higher risk of the most common type of stroke compared to those who ate the least. Women suffering from strokes and heart disease are on the rise in America.
Dr Stuart Kincaid shares health information with each patient in an effort to confirm that they are healthy and a good candidate for surgery. As a standard patients over 50 years of age require a medical clearance from their primary care doctor. Dr Stuart Kincaid may recommend full medical clearance for patients who are younger than 50 if there are other concerns that he may have regarding the patients health. Dr Stuart Kincaid offers a full menu of plastic surgery services. His main concern is safety for all of his patients.

Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer
When a study was released back in November suggesting that women no longer needed to have their first mammogram at forty years of age many medical professionals spoke out in total disagreement with the guidelines. We were assured that these were just guidelines and that the standards would not be changed. According to a local article, a recent study showed that since those guidelines were introduced, access to mammograms has become more difficult. One forth of the respondents in the study reported changes in the early detection programs in their state. This of course, becomes an issue since studies show that early detection is the best defense for surviving breast cancer.
Dr Stuart Kincaid was among the first of medical doctors who spoke out against the suggested guidelines that would recommend a patient wait until 50 years of age for a mammogram. As a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed numerous breast reconstruction procedures he knows first hand that early detection is key. Breast augmentation patients are encouraged to follow standards set forth by the American Cancer Society. The standard is a baseline mammogram at 35 years of age and yearly after 40. Monthly breast self exams should be performed to check for changes in the breast. Dr Stuart Kincaid is committed to life saving breast health.

Beautiful legs can be created using plastic surgery
A recent article provided excellent tips for building muscular and toned legs. According to the article, legs are one of the easiest parts of our body to build upon. The excercises includes quats and running . The thighs and calf muscles both have muscles that can be made firm and therefore allow the legs to be sculpted and toned. Beautiful legs are a booster of self esteem. Women are able to triple their wardrobe choices with beautifully proportioned legs.
Dr Stuart Kincaid consults with patients concerning liposuction of the leg, Dr Stuart Kincaid explains that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure,and that liposuction of the legs should be performed only by an experienced surgeon. Liposuction is a procedure that takes away fat and in order to produce an aesthetically pleasing result a delcate balance must be acheived. The outer thigh benefits tremendously from liposuction. The sculpting procedure removes the fat that looks like stuck on fat deposit. Often times the inner thigh can be liposuctioned for a better over all shaping of the leg. The patient will need to wear a compression garment to hlep reduce swelling and re-drape the skin. Patients should avoid heavy excercise as it may cause an increase in swelling. Dr Stuart Kincaid helps his patients with body enhacements they can be proud of.

Goals can be reached or exceeded when they are realistic
As we move closer to the end of the second month of the year many people have changed or abandoned their original goals set on January 1, 2010. A recent local article gave helpful tips for people who want to reach their health and fitness goals.The article suggest making several short range goals as opposed to one long range goal. It pointed out the benefit of momentum and the part it plays in the success of achieving goals.
Dr Stuart Kincaid helps patients set and exceed realistic plastic surgery goals. Expectation in plastic surgery should be attainable. For instance, if a persons goal is to have an abdominoplasty and liposuction in order to loose a specific number of pants sizes, this could be an unrealistic goal. Many factors come into the equation concerning clothing sizes so they should never be used as a measure. Another goal that patients can measure is their amount of recovery time and length of time to return back to their workout routine. When setting recovery goals Dr Stuart Kincaid reminds patients that they must be diligent concerning their recovery and not create goals that are so aggressive that they compromise their recovery.

Is underwear a mans new best friend?
Just when you think you have heard it all, our local paper picked up an article covering a strange incident outside of Pittsburgh. A man and woman were engaged in a domestic dispute and somehow the man jumped on top of the hood of the car while the woman was driving. As if this by itself was not enough to draw a crowd, the man was in his underwear! Of course it was impossible not to check out his body just like any other man in his underwear.
Dr Stuart Kincaid has noticed an increase in men seeking a more fit and toned body. A man never knows when he will be on “display”. When a man looks at his body as it ages the mid section is usually problematic. Dr Stuart Kincaid recommends liposuction for men as an effective way to sculpt the body. Men are great candidates for liposuction as their abdominal muscles are usually tight. The sculpting of the abdomen makes the abs look muscular and toned. The amazing point is that even for men that have not exercised consistently they can have a “six pack”. Dr Stuart Kincaid advises his male patients that liposuction is not a magic pill. Patients must be good abut diet and exercise for the best long term result.

A large baby is not always born of a large mother
A recent article reported that a 525 lb woman gave birth to her first baby. The mother was happy that her baby girl 6.4 lbs. was healthy. Obviously a 525 lb woman has many issues concerning pregnancy. Her own health is compromised as well as the baby’s health. The doctors managed to provide prenatal care for the mother so the baby was delivered cesarean section and by all early accounts healthy. Postpartum weight for this patient is a moot point. In her case loosing weight is not a choice it is a matter of life and death.
Dr Stuart Kincaid consults with patients postpartum who are unhappy with their post pregnancy body. While most patients do not have a massive amount of weight to loose, it is a struggle for most women to diet down to a size that is close to their pre-pregnancy weight. Sadly, if they are able to loose the weight often times they are left with loose and lax skin especially around the abdomen. Dr Stuart Kincaid recommends an abdominoplastyto tighten both the muscles and skin. The muscles are not as tight after child birth especially after having a cesarean birth. Dr Stuart Kincaid often adds liposuction to give the abdominoplasty a more “finished” look around the waist.

Healthy people can still have unsightly fat deposits
San Diego County ranked 15th in the health-outcomes category, which looks at levels of various diseases, the rate of deaths before age 75 and the prevalence of babies born underweight.
A recent local article reported that San Diego county ranked 15th for social and economic factors such as education, unemployment, poverty and violent crime; 20th for medical care; 23rd for health behaviors such as tobacco use, diet, exercise and risky sexual activity; and 40th for physical environment.
Dr Stuart Kincaid values the healthy county where he practices. With offices in both La Jolla and Temecula Dr Stuart Kincaid consults with patients often who are in good health yet they are not happy with bulges of fat that seem to look as though they have been “stuck on” . Dr Stuart Kincaid recommends liposuction in this instance. Liposuction sculpts the body and eliminates the bulges that are small fat deposit. Liposuction is most effective on outer thighs and the abdomen. Dr Stuart Kincaid is able to sculpt both the upper and lower abdomen. This is extremely helpful because often times patients may have a thickness of fat in the upper abdomen. Another very helpful area for liposuction is the upper back fat . This sometimes occurs after menopause and with out liposuction it is virtually impossible to loose.

Sweating out doesn't mean it is healthy
After a good workout sitting in the steam room or sauna can be extremely relaxing. The question is: Does the sauna or steam room have health benefits? According to a recent local article the benefits are weak and largely unsubstantiated. According to the article “sweating it out” in the sauna to detoxify is pointless. The body uses sweating to cool our body temperature not to get rid of toxins. the article went further to say that detoxification is done naturally through our bodies organs like the liver and colon. The article expressed outrage at businesses that charge large amounts of money to detoxify when the body can detoxify adequately in a healthy person on it’s own.
Dr Stuart Kincaid often meets patients in the midst of a decision to cleanse their bodies and get rid of the negative thoughts that hey have about their apperance. The patients often feel liberated as for many plastic surgery is the biggest decsion they have made completely for themselves. Facelifts, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and other face and body procedures help patients to exerience a new look that in some cases appears totally new. Dr Stuart Kincaid emphasizes for the best long-term results they must also adopt a new lifestyle with a balanced diet, and excercise.

Skin damage can lead to skin cancer; protection is a must!
Children learn habits and lifestyle choices early. According to a recent local article the majority of sun damage to skin that leads to skin cancer occurs before children turn 18. A special assembly was held in Coronado for elementary students in an effort to teach them the dangers of the sun. The emphasis was on wearing hats and sunscreen.The children learned that even on a day that seems overcast a hat and sunscreen should be worn because they are still exposed to harmful rays. The hope is that when children learn about the prevention of skin care that the choices that they make in life will be beneficial in helping them to avoid skin cancer.
Dr Stuart Kincaid removes skin cancer and suspicious moles from patients quite regularly due to the location of his practices. In sunny California it is imperative that people protect their skin. Patients who have suspicious moles that have changed in color, gotten bigger,or are bleeding should have the moles checked and most likely removed. Dr Stuart Kincaid helps patients understand that the removal of the mole not only removes the mole but also an area around the mole. This will give the pathologist who will examine the mole and surrounding tissue an opportunity to check the entire area for cancer. The good news is that detected early, patients recover well from skin cancer.

Exercising in a green gym is a socially responsibility choice
San Diego can proudly boast that it is home to one of the most environmentally friendly gyms in the country. According to a recent article ,San Diego Commuinity College recently renovated their gym with a more energy efficient theme. Every thing from the plumbing to lighting was replaced in an effort to lower energy cost and serve as an example for the community that every little bit makes a difference. The gym was given a total transformation thus giving it an updated image. Attracting students and guest to exercise in the facility will now become a much easier task. The project has won the 2008 Design Visionary Award from the American Institute of Architects.
Dr Stuart Kincaid understands the value of transformation and passionately explains to his patients how beneficial plastic surgery can be in updating ones look and image. Patients can begin with less invasive procedures like injectables such as Restylane or Botox. The effects of injectables are temporary and the results are never as dramatic as surgery. Dr Stuart Kincaid counsels his patients that the procedure chosen will only be as dramatic as the long term result. When patients are experiencing the beginning signs of aging on their face Dr Stuart Kincaid explains that a classic facelift is the best value.
