Take a quick stroll down any department or drug store aisle and you will be sure to find plenty of shelves stocked with the latest beauty treatments. From serums to scrubs and lotions, creams and oils, it goes without saying that anti-aging is at the top of every woman’s mind.
It’s safe to say that wrinkles are unwanted signs of aging, so beauty brands go to great lengths to try to combat the signs of aging with the latest and greatest beauty creams. If you are a woman in your 20s or 30s, now is the time to get going with an anti-aging regimen to keep up on a youthful appearance in the long run.
The truth is that every woman approaches aging in different ways and at different times. Because anti-aging creams are generally associated with a mature group, younger women in their 20s and 30s sometimes believe these types of creams are not appropriate for their skin type. While this may be the case, most women can benefit from an anti-aging cream starting as early as the late 20s and well into the following years. This is especially true for women who have smoked or who have lead an inactive lifestyle. The bottom line is that preventative measures are one of the best ways to avoid the aging process.
To get started on an anti-aging regimen, you may want to begin with an anti-wrinkle cream in the evenings since these types of formulations are richer and better used at night. You may also add in a serum to bolster the efficacy of your anti-aging efforts.
WHEN CREAMS AREN’T ENOUGH
Anti-aging creams can do well for a variety of women, but when it comes to the heavy duty smoothing, sometimes lotions and potions just aren’t enough. Here’s what you can do to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to anti-aging.
Start a Botox regimen. Botox is an excellent way to put off the aging process since it reduces the ability for facial muscles to strain and therefore cause wrinkles. Many women start the Botox process in their late 20s to help stave off fine lines and wrinkles.
Chemical peels are another great way to add a more youthful look to your face. Chemical peels work by sloughing off the first layers of your skin, revealing softer and younger looking skin beneath. Many women swear by chemical peels as they provide the rejuvenated glow that so many women seek today.
Microdermabrasion is another excellent way to reveal beautiful skin. Using specialized crystals, a microdermabrasion system is an ideal way to achieve a youthful glow.

With all the hype concerning lasers, injectables, and nonsurgical facial rejuvenation options it’s easy to believe that a facelift is old-fashioned or old-school. Before patients shoot down the idea of having a facelift they first need to be clear about what it is they would like to achieve. Dr. Stuart Kincaid offers a full range of both nonsurgical as well as surgical facial rejuvenation options; so, therefore he has no hidden agenda in recommending one approach over the other. Patient should understand that a facelift has specific benefits that are unable to be achieved through nonsurgical or minimally invasive procedures. A facelift is a longer-lasting effect and is proven to achieve an appearance that looks about 7 to 10 years younger than a patients stated age. This is a lifelong effect even as the patient ages, it is still visible. Also, if a patient has extreme loose skin in the lower half of the face and also has loose and lax skin on the neck minimally invasive procedures may diminish the appearance that they will not tighten the skin enough to give the same result as a surgical facelift. Typically, the older a patient is when they begin to consider facial rejuvenation procedures the less likely they are to see a dramatic benefit, if they choose minimally invasive procedures over a surgical facelift. Skin laxity diminishes with age and the best results will always be in a younger patient with healthier skin. The best combination for most patients is a surgical facelift combined with injectables including Juvederm and Botox. Also Sculptra which gradually replaces volume in the face with the patient’s own collagen can be used after a facelift to achieve an even more youthful appearance in the nasolabial folds. Laser skin resurfacing is also an excellent adjunct to a surgical facelift. A facelift is not a procedure of the past. It remains one of the best values for patients based on the money invested. Dr. Stuart Kincaid welcomes patients to schedule a consultation to determine which facial rejuvenation procedures are best for them.

Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery. A small percentage of women want extremely large breast implants. A recent online news article highlighted a woman from the United Kingdom who chose to have extra-large breast implants with what later she found out to be an unqualified cosmetic surgeon. According to the story Andrea Scott had the desire to increase her bust size to an F-cup but once she had her breast augmentation surgery with the unqualified cosmetic surgery the stitches burst open and the implants began sagging out of the incision. There is an investigation currently underway to determine what happened with the surgery that was performed by Dr Ashish Dutta. It has been proven that the doctor inappropriately inserted the extra-large implants and that he also failed to provide her with a referral for a second opinion. He is also under masturbation for calling himself what is known in the United Kingdom as a “consultant cosmetic surgeon” which meant he did not have the qualifications to conduct invasive plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Dutta denies any wrongdoing and has declined all comment. Andrea Scott has had to carry out a string of subsequent surgeries and has spent the equivalent of more than $55,296 out-of-pocket to correct the atrocities that happened as a result of the surgery. She had four operations over a period of 18 months and says that she is left with both psychological as well as physical scars have a negative effect on her business and social relationships. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is considered to be an expert in breast augmentation using extra-large breast implants. As an ASPS board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stuart Kincaid understands the necessary requirements for preparing the patient both physically as well as mentally for breast augmentation using extra-large implants. While complications can occur with any surgery, the best way to reduce the risk of complications is to select a well-qualified and experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Stuart Kincaid. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is committed to a thorough assessment of the patient prior to surgery, to determine if in fact they are a good candidate for the procedure. Dr. Stuart Kincaid welcomes patients who are considering breast augmentation with either extra-large implants or the more popular sizes, to schedule a consultation to determine if breast augmentation is right for them.

Dating has changed significantly over the years mostly because of the Internet. The Internet has allowed what used to be a fairly intimate process conducted within the circle of people that you meet in your daily social settings, to a scenario that appears to mean ”the world is your oyster”. Internet dating is heavily dependent upon pictures and most every site makes it very clear that the more pictures a profile has the more likely they are to receive responses. Obviously appearance has a lot to do with success in dating, at least on the Internet. So, plastic surgery is likely to help most people achieve their best most youthful appearance. Older adults as well as younger adults are likely to at least wonder if the person in the profile picture have had plastic surgery. A man looking at a beautiful woman in her late 20s to mid 30s who has had children and has a perfect figure is likely to wonder if she has had a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. A woman looking at a man in his mid-60s with virtually no wrinkles is likely to wonder if he has had a facelift. So, if you are one of the people who has made the decision to have plastic surgery to maintain your best appearance should you tell the person that you are dating? Dr. Stuart Kincaid advises patients throughout the plastic surgery experience to be proud of their decision; however to remember that their choices are personal. Patient should not disclose any information that they do not feel comfortable disclosing. Support for plastic surgery decisions is important because most people who have plastic surgery do so in part with the intention that it will increase their self-esteem and self-confidence. When patients have to defend their decision it can undermine their self-esteem and self-confidence. Looking good and feeling good is the ultimate goal so a patient’s decisions to disclose plastic surgery while dating should remain personal and should only happen when the patient feels 100% comfortable with the other person.

Summer is here! Although we are in beautiful Southern California, we still revel in the thought of summer and enjoying all that our landscape has to offer. How can something so good be harmful? Dr. Stuart Kincaid reminds his patients that having fun in the sun is fine but you must be careful to do so responsibly. The sun’s rays can be very damaging to the skin. First and foremost, overexposure to the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer including melanoma which is the deadliest form of skin cancer. So, laying out in the sun for a tan is definitely not advised. The tanning bed is also not advised as it too can lead to skin cancer. Overexposure to the sun can also be blamed for premature aging of the skin especially on the face. This includes loose and lax skin along the jaw line as well as a thin and wrinkled skin on the neck. Dr. Stuart Kincaid offers many different options for patients who are making an effort to maintain their most youthful appearance. A vast selection of medical grade skin care products and medical grade skin care treatments are available through his practice. Dr. Stuart Kincaid encourages patients to take advantage of his experienced medical aesthetician and the results she is able to deliver using exceptional products combined with skill and expertise. Dr. Stuart Kincaid also offers a wide range of injectables including Botox, f dermal fillers including Restylane and Juvederm. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is an expert injector for Sculptra Cosmetic which is a filler that uses the patient’s own collagen to gradually replace volume to the face. These noninvasive options can help patients to maintain a youthful appearance and in most cases allow them to delay surgical options by a few years. Dr. Stuart Kincaid and his staff encourage their patients to enjoy the summer and to be diligent about maintaining healthy skin and their most youthful appearance.

Vitamin supplements are more sought after today than any other time in history. With the popularity of the Interne,t information continues to swirl about the benefits of supplements including omega-3. According to recent study the hype may be more substantial been the reality. According to the article taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements, including fish oil capsules, doesn’t appear to make a difference in older people hoping to maintain their brain health, researchers report. A number of studies have implied that omega-3 fatty acids could help keep nerve cells in the brain healthy well into old age, but there is restricted proof of the role of these fatty acids in avoiding dementia or reduced mental abilities — known as “cognitive decline.” Participants of the study who consumed omega-3 fatty acid-containing capsules or margarine did not perform any better on standard tests of mental abilities or on tests of memory and verbal skills, as substantiated by the findings published in The Cochrane Library. Patients make every effort to maintain their health as they age. Mental alertness and brain health are an essential part of any health maintenance program. Dr. Stuart Kincaid encourages his patients to make a concerted effort to assure that there appearance is as youthful as their healthy mind and body. Patient should begin to address the signs of aging as soon as they are evident. This could mean considering noninvasive procedures like Sculptra Cosmetic or surgical procedures like a facelift, or blepharoplasty. Patient should never believe that they are too old to consider plastic surgery. Provided the patient is healthy, there are no age limits for elective cosmetic surgery. For some patients considering facial rejuvenation surgery seems frivolous if they are older. The reality is with patients living longer lives than ever before it is quite common for older patients to want to maintain their most youthful appearance.

Plastic surgery has seen some of the most sweeping advancements in cosmetic surgery procedures over the last decade, than ever before. As the economic climate shifted, and more people became interested and able to afford plastic surgery, procedures became commodities that were paraded in front of prospective patient in the most attractive packaging possible. Since liposuction is the most sought after cosmetic surgery procedure, it is not surprising that it was one of the first procedures to become a target of overzealous marketing. As liposuction became more popular more medical professionals made the decision to try their hand at performing the procedure. Some were doing so with only a weekend course of instruction prior to performing the procedure on patients. New methods, techniques, and medical devices for liposuction were also introduced most with the promise of less downtime, less bruising, and the need to eliminate general or IV sedation. Of course, the new methods were created with the concept of less cost to the patient. Tumescent method of liposuction is the original method designed to flood the cavity with a saline solution allowing the fat to be visible so that the surgeon can systematically suction the fat while toning the area and improving contour. While the tumescent method does cause bruising in most cases it continues to be extremely effective and overall cost effective as it allows for aggressive body contouring. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains to patients that the method of liposuction is of importance however the skill and experience of the plastic surgeon is highly dependent upon the results a patient can expect. Dr. Stuart Kincaid takes pride in his patient gallery chocked full of before and after examples of liposuction patients. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is also candid with patients who based on their weight, skin laxity, or other specific issue will not be good candidates for liposuction. For some patients he may recommend an abdominoplasty combined with liposuction as an alternative. The bottom line is Dr. Stuart Kincaid will not recommend liposuction for patients who are not likely to have a satisfying outcome. Become a Fan on Facebook Follow us on Twitter More on Dr.Kincaid

Breast augmentations remain one of the most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, about 316,000 breast augmentations were performed in 2011. While the procedure is popular, at what age is it appropriate for the procedure to be done? CNN recently spoke with a high school graduate that opted to enhance her cup size before going to college. The parents of the 18-year-old girl supported the decision. It begs the question, how young is too young for cosmetic surgery?
Madison Landis, the teen that received the breast augmentation as a graduation present told CNN, “I feel like it will make me more confident for college and less insecure about myself.” Landis’ parents, who paid for the procedure, said the agreed to it to help their daughter’s self image. “It’s something she felt really strongly about,” Madison’s mom, Tonya Everett, told the news source. “She’s 18 and it’s her body, so we’re willing to support her decision.” The Landis family isn’t alone. One plastic surgeon says cosmetic surgeries are becoming a common gift for teens. “You see it around graduation,” one plastic surgeon told WomensENews.com. “You see it around holidays and spring break, especially around the Christmas season.”
Many plastic surgeons will not operate on a teenager younger than 18, and many encourage the decision to be reached with parents. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, about 5,000 breast augmentations were performed on patients under the age of 18 in 2011. That’s about 1.5 percent of the 316,000 breast augmentations performed last year. Patients ranging in age from 19-34 account for 50 percent of all breast augmentations completed last year.
Surgeons worry about performing procedures on young patients. “Before I perform any procedure, I carefully and thoroughly evaluate my patient’s health and personal motivations for the surgery,” said one doctor in a recent statement. “I conduct this analysis to ensure that my patient is physically healthy and also to make sure that her motivations are realistic.
“As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I am committed to providing my patients with the highest level of safety and quality. If a teenager told me that she wanted a procedure like breast implants at my Harrisburg, PA practice, I would talk with her in-depth about her motivation.” Gayner says he would also question the parents. “Mothers should protect their daughters and instill confidence in them,” Dr. Stratis says. “Then they can make sound decisions for themselves when they reach adulthood.”
Every patient, regardless of age, should discuss the motivation behind the procedure along with expected outcomes with a board-certified surgeon before scheduling any procedure. Call Dr. Kincaid today, a San Diego plastic surgeon, at 951-695-9934.

Experiencing pain in our bodies not only limits our activity but has a negative effect on our quality of life. Shoulder pain is no exception. According to a recent local article most joints in the body function as complex hinges, however the shoulder is able to harbor a great deal of freedom in motion. With this freedom there is an inherent risk of instability. A dislocation happens when the bone comes out of the joint (or, a joint completely comes apart). Yet, not every instability event has to be traumatic dislocations. Some instability events are actually a very small occurrence. But, even the most mundane occurrences can become a problem if they occur on a recurrent basis. Most children are born with an unbelievable amount of flexibility and joint laxity or looseness. It is important to know the difference between flexibility and laxity. Flexibility includes muscle tightness in contrast to laxity which relates to the looseness of ligaments around a joint. Having reduced flexibility combined with joint laxity is actually one of the highest risk factors for joint injuries during sports. Flexibility and laxity in the joints should not be painful. Having shoulder pain that limits activities of daily living is not normal. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains to patients that it is very common to have shoulder pain along with neck and back pain for patients who have excessively large breast. The weight of the breast can become extremely limiting over time and most patients tend to gain weight due to lack of activity. Typically, Dr. Stuart Kincaid will recommend a breast reduction combined with liposuction of the lateral chest wall to reduce the breast tissue and create better proportion for the patient. While insurance companies over the years have made the process of having breast reduction covered under most insurance plans virtually impossible, breast reduction continues to be one of the most beneficial plastic surgery procedures that can be performed for a woman. Dr. Stuart Kincaid urges his patients to consult with him and determine if a breast reduction is a good recommendation for eliminating shoulder pain and other conditions that can be associated with excessively large breast.
