It seems as though going to work used to be a form of exercise itself. Now it appears as though many Americans sit in a cubicle at work the majority of the day. It is not surprising that this lack of activity brings on new challenges. Dr. Stuart Kincaid consults with patients who complain that their abdominal spread had become something they can no longer treat effectively. Many have tried exercise and diet with little to no success. Dr. Stuart Kincaid fortunately can offer a few different options for the patient. For some, he may recommend traditional liposuction. For others, he may recommend Zerona laser liposuction. If there is loose and lax skin then the recommendation will most likely beabdominoplasty. As more patients experience less activity at work, it is inevitable that they will explore plastic surgery options. According to CBS San Diego health researchers say only about 6.5 percent of U.S. adults meet physical activity guidelines while they’re working. And those that do are disproportionately Hispanic men and men with less than a high school education.
The national estimate — the first of its kind — was reported Thursday in a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publication, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. It’s based on a 2007 national telephone survey.
Somewhere between 45 percent and 65 percent of adults say they exercise enough outside of work to meet government recommendations for physical activity, according to earlier studies.

Smoking and the associated health risk are undeniable. Warnings exist on the packaging and are made even more specific when patients are considering plastic surgery. Dr. Stuart Kincaid provides a detailed written explanation of the risk associated with smoking to plastic surgery patients prior to surgery. These risks include but are not limited to: delayed wound healing, and less than optimal scarring. Facelifts, abdominoplasty, and breast lifts are a few of the procedures that can have heightened concerns for patients who smoke. The incisions require tightening and lifting which can add to the difficulty of wound healing in smokers. Regardless of warnings on cigarette packaging the best defense is to not smoke at all. Some feel the packaging for cigarettes remains a problem. According to CBS 8 savvy tobacco companies are using color and other design elements to circumvent new U.S. regulations that crack down on misleading cigarette packaging, researchers say. As of June 2010, tobacco companies were prohibited from using terms such as “light,” “mild” or “low,” which minimize the dangers of smoking, in advertising and on cigarette packaging. But tobacco companies have found other terms, colors and even numbers to create an illusion of safety, according to several new studies from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, N.Y.

It is tempting to try a new diet when they make enticing claims. Patients considering body contouring procedures such as abdominoplasty or liposuction sometimes think a diet to lose 10 to 15 pounds before surgery is a good idea. Actually, it is better to have body contouring surgical procedures when the patient is at or near their ideal body weight. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains topatients that liposuction and abdominoplasty whether combined or performed separately are not weight loss procedures. Patients who are extremely overweight are not candidates for these body contouring procedures. These procedures are designed for patients who have small areas of fat in specific areas. For abdominoplasty candidates removing loose and lax skin is extremely beneficial because exercise and diet will never tighten loose skin. Low calorie extreme diets can extend your life, at least in animals says one study. According to CBS 8 ”It’s an interesting paradox because restriction of calories in animals seems to be the fountain of youth, but all my prior work in humans has shown not such great outcomes,” said Janet Tomiyama, a psychologist who is a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholar at UCSF and principal investigator of the trial study. And the animal studies haven’t had clear data on how well the animals are actually living.
“The animal data seems good with all the longevity studies but what people really don’t know is how healthy the animals actually are,” said Heidi A. Tissenbaum, an associate professor in the Program in Gene Function and Expression and in molecular medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. “How happy would people be ? Would they feeling restricted all their life?”

Infertility can be devastating diagnosis and experience for couples. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is often asked about the benefits and limitations of breast augmentation performed prior to pregnancy and child birth. In general, patients should be aware that their natural breast tissue is minimally affected with surgery. This means that fluctuations in size and laxity can affect the results of surgery following child birth. For some patients with breast implants a breast lift may be needed to restore the breast to the most aesthetically pleasing results. In many cases, breast implants can be left untouched as the breast lift is performed. Young women who are considering breast augmentation should discuss their concerns about breast augmentation prior to pregnancy with Dr. Stuart Kincaid during their initial consultation. Of course, fertility is not guaranteed for everyone .There is a study that suggest caffeine may interfere with fertility. According to CBS 8 caffeine, a known stimulant, has been shown to cause rapid heart rate, nausea, anxiety and depression. Now, new research reveals that caffeine consumption may make it harder for a woman to get pregnant. By analyzing fallopian tubes in mice, researchers found that caffeine interferes with muscle contractions that help eggs travel from the ovaries through the fallopian tubes and into the womb — a process critical for a successful pregnancy.

Patients who are considering breast augmentation and other plastic surgery procedures are asked to complete a medical history form prior to their procedure. This includes any information concerning depression diagnosis in the past or present. Dr. Stuart Kincaid assures patients that a depression diagnosis alone should not exclude them from being a good candidate for breast augmentation, one of the most popular procedures. Dr. Stuart Kincaid offers both saline and gel gel implants. For patients who choose silicone gel implant Dr. Stuart Kincaid uses the new Keller funnel to help position the implant and create a much smaller scar than the traditional method of insertion. This helps to alleviate a great deal of concern and anxiety for women who have concerns about scarring. Patients who have a diagnosis for clinical depression may be required to provide written medical clearance prior to surgery. For the most part, patients do extremely well throughout the surgery and recovery experience. According to Sign on San Diego it’s no surprise that depressed people often experience poorer health. The challenge for doctors and scientists is to determine how the long-recognized but incompletely understood relationship between mind and body works. More specifically, why and how does our mental outlook impact our physical well-being? And what can be done about it?

Politics is something that we are used to seeing in the headlines everyday. A recent article referred to as study that concluded that a political connection between perspective mates may be more appealing than looks. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is familiar with both politics and looks. As a board certified plastic surgeon in San Diego, he recently was awarded the prestigious GOLD AWARD in the category of BEST COSMETIC SURGEON by the readers of the La Jolla Village News as the 2011 READERS CHOICE. This was based on votes from readers, many of whom are also patients. When it comes to looks of course, Dr. Stuart Kincaid is committed to helping patients look as good as they feel. Dr. Stuart Kincaid offers both surgical and nonsurgical alternatives for treatment. The most popular surgical procedures are breast augmentation and liposuction. Nonsurgical treatments are quickly becoming a favorite choice of Dr. Stuart Kincaid’s patients. The new Fractional CO2 laser system helps patients to achieve resurfacing of the skin which helps to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It is an excellent choice for patients who are not ready financially or mentally for surgery. Looking good and feeling good is a big part of finding a mate. According to CBS 8 “It turns out that people place more emphasis on finding a mate who is a kindred spirit with regard to politics, religion and social activity than they do on finding someone of like physique or personality,” John Alford, associate professor of political science at Rice University and the study’s lead author, said in a university news release. “It suggests that, perhaps, if you’re looking for a long-term romantic relationship, skip ‘What’s your sign?’ and go straight to ‘Obama or Palin?’ And if you get the wrong answer, just walk away,” added Alford. With Dr Stuart Kincaid’s GOLD AWARD in the category of BEST COSMETIC SURGEON by the readers of the La Jolla Village News as the 2011 READERS CHOICE, it is likely both spouses agree on him.

As women age osteoporosis is a concern and for some and should be considered as a risk. Aging hormones can also be blamed for stubborn pockets of fat on select areas of the body. Dr Stuart Kincaid explains to his patients that hormonal shifts in weight are normal. Dr.Stuart Kincaid will often recommend liposuction , traditional or zerona(depending on the case) as an option for removing fat. Liposuction is not weight loss procedure. Patients need to be at or near their ideal body weight, Patients must also be committed to maintaining a healthy weight and effective diet and exercise program. While being healthy is important women should still be focused on the risk that increase with age including osteoporosis. According to Sign On San Diego.com women are automatically at greater risk for osteoporosis than men. Women start with lower bone density than their male peers and they lose bone mass more quickly as they age, which leads to osteoporosis in some women. Estrogen provides a protective mechanism for women that they then lose with menopause, at which time they are more susceptible to a rapid loss of bone mass.
Osteoporosis can also occur in men, but it usually begins about 10 years later than women. Approximately 8 million American women and 2 million men have osteoporosis.
In most cases, the risk of osteoporosis is reduced by eating foods high in calcium, getting plenty of weight-bearing exercise, limiting alcohol use and not smoking. Balance exercises such as yoga and tai chi can also help reduce bone loss and prevent falls, as can strengthening of weight-bearing muscles such as the quadriceps.

They are usually concerned with loose skin on the abdomen,thighs, and arms. The excess skin is not just unsightly, in some cases it can cause discomfort and rashes. Dr.Stuart Kincaid recommends an abdominoplasty or bodylift to remove the excess skin from the lower body. For the thighs, a thighplasty removes the excess skin. For the arms a brachioplasty removes the loose skin on the underside of the arm. Dr Stuart Kincaid may require medical clearance from the patients primary care provider to be sure that the diabetes is either controlled or no longer an issue.Diabetes is a serious disease. According to Sign On San Diego Approximately 26 million adults and children in America have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. An additional 79 million have pre-diabetes, meaning their blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough for a diabetes diagnosis.
In addition, diabetes can cause neuropathy, or nerve damage, which can result in an inability to feel pain in the feet and legs. People with diabetic neuropathy may not know their feet are injured until infection sets in. Neuropathy may also change the shape of the feet or toes.Macrovascular diabetes complications affect the large blood vessels and encompass the classic cardiovascular problems: heart attack, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

According to Sign on SanDiego the state of well-being among older adults does not seem to be improving. A recent AARP report compared sex and well-being in 1999, 2004, and 2009. Although overall, midlife and older adults currently have a positive outlook on life, this is less so than in 2004.
Both the frequency of sexual intercourse and overall sexual satisfaction are down close to 10 points since 2004. Just over four out of 10 say they are satisfied with their sex lives, down from half in 2004. Younger respondents, men, and Hispanics in general are more likely to report being satisfied.
Why would older adults report a decline in general well-being, particularly sexual experience? Several key factors influence sexual activity, including health, medications, stress, finances, and exercise. Health — as reflected by increased use of prescription medications — seems to mirror this decline in general sexual satisfaction and well-being. The most prevalent medications are for cholesterol, taken by 36 percent of all older adults — a number that has doubled since 1999. A similar increase appears in the use of blood pressure medications, which 43 percent of the older population takes — up from 36 percent in 1999. There was an increase in diagnosis of erectile dysfunction for 23 percent of men in 2009, compared to 17 percent in 2004.
Older Americans make up a significant portion of Dr. Stuart Kincaid’s patient base. While it is common for the patients to considerfacelifts and blepharoplasty, many older patients also consider breast augmentation and breast lifts. Many tell Dr. Stuart Kincaid that they are happy with their life and want to look as good as they feel.

According to San Diego 8 certain painkillers called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may cause stomach problems, especially if you need to take them consistently over long periods.
Examples of these medications include ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen, including brand names such as Advil, Motrin and Aleve.
The American Gastroenterological Association suggests how to reduce the risk of stomach problems if you need to take NSAIDs for a chronic problem:
- Talk with your doctor before beginning an NSAID regimen, especially if you’ve had side effects from these medications.
- Before taking an NSAID, take note of possible side effects mentioned on the product label. Be sure to take the medication exactly as directed.
- Don’t take both a prescription and over-the-counter pain-relieving medication at the same time.
- Tell your doctor about all medications and supplements that you take.
- Don’t drink alcohol while taking any pain medication.
- Ask your doctor about which NSAID is best for you.
Dr. Stuart Kincaid spends a considerable amount of time explaining to his patients in detail what they can expect from their procedure in a lengthy preoperative appointment. This appointment is an opportunity for both the patient and Dr. Stuart Kincaid to understand the patients desire and expectation prior to surgery. This appointment is usually where patients are given prescription medications for their procedures. Pain medication is included in the medications prescribed in most cases. For procedures like breast augmentation andabdominoplasty a muscle relaxant may be prescribed along with a narcotic pain medication. Most patients do well with both medications; however, if stomach upset occurs patients should alert Dr. Stuart Kincaid and his staff right away. Dr. Stuart Kincaid believes in taking care of patients safety as well as providin excellent results.
