Women urged to use board-certified plastic surgeon for butt lifts and buttock implants

April 27th, 2013

A story reported at the publication, Inside Costa Rica, reminds all San Diegans to play it safe when it comes to getting a buttock lift or implant. That’s because one woman has tragically died due to illegal buttock implants performed by way of injections.

The woman, reportedly from Costa Rica, is the second known cause of such death. We blogged earlier about a series of illegal buttock implant surgeries in Florida last year, with one resulting in the woman’s unfortunate death.

According to reports, the woman, 33, received a series of questionable injections in the buttock area at an illegal cosmetic enhancement office out of San Jose, Costa Rica.

The woman, who was admitted to San Juan de Dios Hospital, later died after a serious infection overtook her body. Even though she had been receiving daily treatment to overcome the infection, the woman was unable to fight off the bacterial contagion. Unfortunately, the woman deteriorated quickly despite medical care and died Tuesday.

Although the details of this specific case is currently unknown, most illegal butt injections involve the administration of industrial-grade silicone. It is possible the infection could have been a result of the very same application of silicone.

ALTERNATIVES TO BUTTOCK IMPLANT SUGRERY IN SAN DIEGO

If you are consider buttock implants in San Diego, you are urged to use a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience in safely and beautifully lifting the buttock area. Alternatively, you can consider these butt-lifting and beautifying treatments to avoid the complications associated with having an implant in the buttock area.

Liposuction. Sometimes all the rear end needs to look a little more flattering is some shaping with liposuction. Lipo in San Diego is especially beneficial for saddlebags that can distort the way the rear end looks.

Thigh Lift. Here’s another great option for your buttocks. A thigh lift is an excellent option for women who want to sculpt the thigh area without having to commit to an actual buttock implant.

For more information on either of these buttock implant alternatives, call Dr. Kincaid, an award-winning, board -ertified plastic surgeon in San Diego at 858-450-4199 and schedule your consultation today.

Men finally admit: “I’d like my wife to get plastic surgery”

April 22nd, 2013

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so when it comes to personal appearance, we all have our different likes and dislikes. But despite preferences like hair or eye color, one thing is for certain: most men prefer their partner to look feminine and beautiful – at least that’s what a new survey published at The Inquisitr says.

According to the news source, one UK-based website asked all the questions women have wanted to know since the dawn of time: are my breasts large enough? What about my saddlebags and tummy?

Turns out, a lot of men want those areas perfected, whether it’s by breast augmentation surgery or liposuction. According to the survey, nearly a quarter of all 1,248 men who participated in the survey said they secretly hoped their partner would undergo plastic surgery to improve their appearance.

When asked, “What surgical enhancement do you think would improve your partner’s looks the most?” most men said they preferred their partner to consider liposuction by 57 percent. Next, the ever-popular breast augmentation came in at 49 percent. Corrective dental surgery was the third most popular response coming in at 42 percent.

Of the men who answered yes, only 12 percent would actually admit it to their partner. Even more surprisingly, the majority of those who wouldn’t admit to it said they wouldn’t bring it up because, despite surgery, it wouldn’t be enough to improve their overall look.

In the United States, over 20,000 liposuctions were completed in 2012 according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Liposuction is the fourth-most popular plastic surgery treatment in America.

What’s the number one procedure here in the United States?

Breast augmentation with over 286,000 procedures completed in 2012.

If you are like many women (and men for that matter), you may have considered breast augmentation surgery and liposuction – or both – at some point in your life. Whether you considered plastic surgery after having had a baby or if it has been something you’ve always wanted to do, now is the time to discuss cosmetic enhancement with your plastic surgeon in San Diego.

Dr. Kincaid, an award-winning plastic surgeon specializing in breast augmentation and liposuction, is skilled at giving women the natural look they desire while improving the aesthetics of their body.

Plastic surgery trends for men

April 21st, 2013

Plastic surgery is no longer stigmatized in American culture. In fact, we see so many reports of cosmetic enhancements like breast augmentation and facelifts on the covers of magazines that we are no longer shocked by someone wanting to improve their image. When it comes to men’s plastic surgery in Temecula, the shock value is not there – making men across the Inland Empire more comfortable in improving the way they look.

These days, men’s plastic surgery is all about looking natural and handsome without the look of being ‘done.’ Some of the most popular procedures for men include liposuction, and many times for the face – a new trend that is all the rage when it comes to looking well rested and younger.

“If you work hard and play hard, it’s impossible to keep your neck as tight as you want,” said one male patient according to a report at FOX news. “I was already busting my butt working out four days a week, but nothing was happening there, so I figured why not?”

Now more than ever, men are looking for a handsome look, and plastic surgeons in Temecula are well equipped to help them achieve that very ideal.

“There’s less of a desire now for a conventionally beautiful white-bread face,” said one plastic surgeon in Southern California according to the report.  ”People are embracing strong features like ethnic, non-traditional noses.”

One of the ways men are accommodating a larger nose is through chin implant surgery in Temecula. A strong chin has become a commonplace plastic surgery practice when it comes to balancing the face, especially one with a prominent nose. In fact, the ever-popular chin implant surgery as increased 71 percent according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Of course, some men opt for rhinoplasty outright when the nose needs more dramatic shaping.

“I did a rhinoplasty and a chin implant on a famous actor who had a monster nose and no chin. We left a bit of a bump in the nose, so it still looked like his, just a better version,” said one plastic surgeon of a recent male surgery. “No one, including the producer on his next project, noticed he’d had a nose job.”

Natural skin– the new “in”

April 18th, 2013

Coco Chanel was the pioneer of tanned skin. After a luxurious vacation in St. Barth’s, the legendary fashion icon made sunbathing not only trendy then but for years to come. Nowadays though, tan skin has lost its golden touch.

The latest “trend” to hit the beauty market? Beautifully natural skin.

That’s because untanned skin is now considered a beauty staple according to a report at NorthernLife.ca. The news source says that now more than ever, natural skin is one of the most “in” accessories in looking your best – at least, that’s what a group of students are rooting for now that prom season is here.

The truth is that tanning is notoriously dangerous for your skin, leading to consequences like skin cancer, also commonly known as melanoma. In fact, the report tells us that people who use tanning bulbs are 75 percent more likely to develop skin cancer than others who are tan-free between ages 15-29.

“It’s important to inform the student body about the dangers of tanning,” said teenager Sophia Baldan, leader of the Marymount School campaign for anti-tanning. “I hope they respond with a good reaction.”

The ambitious teen even received a $300 grant for her efforts from the Canadian Cancer Society.

“They are literally going to save lives,” the organization said. “It’s everything you dream about in a charity like ours.”

As for the look of naturally beautiful skin, one teenager participating in the high school campaign for safe skin said she’s all about the “trendiness” of healthy skin.

“It seems like healthy is in fashion,” she said.

SUN DAMAGED? 3 STEPS TO REJUVENATE YOUR SKIN

If you’re like many women, the sun has probably damaged your skin at some point in your life. Whether you accidentally got sunburned or simply worshipped the sun regularly, most people can say that they have received some kind of skin damage from sun exposure.

The truth is that the sun can cause a great deal of havoc on the skin including fine lines, wrinkles and dreaded age spots. When it comes to reversing that damage, here are 3 steps that can get you the skin you want – smooth, silky, ageless skin!

1. Sunscreen

Your first line of defense from the damaging effects of the sun is the daily use of sunscreen. Most women need to wear at least an SPF 30 to stay protected even from incidental exposure from the sun.

2. Chemical peel

A chemical peel is an excellent choice in skin rejuvenation. This procedure sloughs off the first few layers of skin, revealing healthier-looking and more beautiful texture as skin begins to heal. Chemical peels in San Diego are an ideal option for women who suffer from age spots.

3. Laser therapy

The latest in reversing skin damage from the sun is DOT (dermal optical thermolysis) laser therapy. San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Kincaid, is a leader in providing laser therapy to rejuvenate the skin’s surface. This procedure uses a fraxel-like laser to resurface the skin, leading to a softer, clearer appearance as skin heals.

For more information on these procedures, call our office in La Jolla, California at 858-450-4199 and schedule your consultation today.

Braless? Women who dare to bare may benefit, study says

April 14th, 2013

If you shudder at the thought of going braless, you’re not alone. The bra industry is a multimillion dollar empire with millions of women worldwide using these busty contraptions on a daily basis. But according to a new French study, bras are actually insignificant when it comes to keeping breasts perky and beautiful.

So did the French women get it right?

Well, the 15-year study examined the way breasts looked over time having used a bra, and of course, the chests that went completely bare without any so-called support. In its findings, the study found that bras produced no significant benefits for the women who used them – what’s more, the study also revealed that bras may actually harm breasts over time.

“Medically, physiologically, anatomically, the breast does not benefit from being deprived of gravity,” Jean-Denis Rouillon, a professor at the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon, told France Info according to a report at the Huffington Post.

Roullion measured and examined over 300 women between the ages of 18 and 35. In their findings, women who did not use bras benefited in the long run – a surprising fact that has many American women rethinking their bras. According to the study, women who did not use bras actually developed more muscles in the pectoral area that showed to support the breast as opposed to making them sag. Nipples gained so-called higher lift as well, making the breast appear overall younger and more beautiful in both size and shape.

Alternatively, when bras were worn, the extra support actually led to less tissue growing, thus leading to accelerated sagging.

“At first, I was a little reluctant to the idea of running without a bra, but I got started and after five minutes, I had no trouble at all,” said one of the bra study participants.

According to the study, though, Roullion says that it would be dangerous to get rid of all their bras just on merit of the study’s findings.

Roullion said it would be a bad idea to completely remove one’s bra after decades of use as this could likely lead into more sagging from the dramatic change. Muscle would need more time to grow and support the breasts in order to benefit from being braless.

ON SAGGING BREASTS

Anyone who has had children or simply has experienced age can attest to the fact that breasts can sag over time. That’s nearly indisputable.

For the women experiencing sagging breasts, there are solutions that can help you restore the volume and lift that can make you look years younger not to mention the confidence that it can build.

If you are interested in finding out which cosmetic surgery procedures are best for sagging breasts, you may benefit from scheduling a consultation with Dr. Kincaid, an award winning plastic surgeon with years of experience in breast augmentation, breast lift and the traditional breast implant surgery in San Diego. Call us at 858-450-4199 and schedule you consultation today to find out what options you may have in breast augmentation.

Michael Kors to expand into cosmetics

April 12th, 2013

We can all look forward to a new change in cosmetics now that Michael Kors has joined the lineup. Ladies everywhere have a little something to celebrate! All-American pink lip gloss? Quintessential red lipstick? All by the arguably most heralded fashion icon today? Don’t mind if we do!

Michael Kors announced earlier this month that he will be launching a cosmetic line to go with his already popular Americana fashion brand. Women will have a full line of cosmetics to choose from including color products, skin and sun care, and even three new fragrances.

As reported by WWD magazine and reprinted on Fashionista.com, the so-called “quippy” designer will be featuring three distinct lines that include “sporty,” “sexy,” and “glam.” Each collection will feature different color and fragrance experiences.

“I think those three things–sexy, sporty and glam–have always been the DNA of Michael Kors, and in a strange way, the Michael Kors woman really is all three of those things–it’s just that she feels more strongly about one of them at certain given times,” Kors told the trade.

As for inspiration for the brand, Kors looked to his most important influences.

“My grandmother was over-the-top glam — she worshipped at the altar of Elizabeth Taylor,” Kors said. “And I then had the absolute opposite in my mother, who wore very natural makeup, very little print, was very laid-back and relaxed and sporty.”

Pricing for Kors’ cosmetic brand will range from $18 to $95 with such offerings as nail lacquer to fine fragrances. What you won’t find are things like mascara or foundation.

“I wanted to do the essentials–the things you absolutely have to have to represent that mood,” Kors said.

MAKE YOUR FACE LOOK AMAZING WITH THE RIGHT SKIN FIRST

If you’re excited about Michael Kors’ new cosmetic line, you’re not alone. When it comes to cosmetics, nothing looks fresher or more put together than a clean slate – polished, beautiful skin, that is. And that’s true no matter what brand of makeup you prefer.

To make the most of your cosmetics and to make your beauty routine absolutely pop, consider the following add ons:

Botox. Heralded as one of the most essential beauty treatments, Botox is an excellent way to combat existing wrinkles while combating future ones. It’s safe and effective as a wrinkle relaxer and has helped women everywhere enjoy younger looking, more beautiful skin.

Chemical Peel. For a youthful, rejuvenated look, women turn to chemical peels to achieve the look. A chemical peel sloughs off the first few layers of skin. As healing begins, you can look forward to softer and younger looking skin.

For more information on Botox or chemical peels in San Diego, call Dr. Kincaid at  858-450-4199 and schedule your consultation today.

Taylor Swift bares natural eye: The tale of the beauty trademark

April 11th, 2013

There are some beauty staples that never go away: red lipstick, the perfect full coverage foundation and, of course, the quintessential black eyeliner. Hollywood starlets have each picked up their own beauty trademarks, taking the beauty staple a step further. Gwen Stefani and red lips, Dita Von Teese and the cat eye, Nikki Minaj and patent pink gloss, J.Lo’s perpetual glow… These gals show us how beauty trademarks are done. But in a new twist, one starlet known for her black liner, went against the face of trend when she bared her beautiful natural eyes in a recent photoshoot.

Taylor Swift made fans take a second look when she went without her famous black eyeliner in her latest photo montage at Wonderland magazine.

Swift, 23, wore a red Christian Dior dress and a natural face for the photo spread, a surprise that delighted fans even though she was without her signature black eye liner.

The country-star-turned-Hollywood-starlet told The Daily Makeover that her black eye liner was one beauty staple she simply could not do without.

“I was on a plane to Japan about two years ago and I had no makeup with me, so I went into the bathroom and I used a Sharpie to line my eyes. From that point on I started using liquid liner because I realized it was obviously pretty easy for me to do! I definitely don’t recommend drawing on your eyes with a Sharpie though,” she said.

Her fans were all about her new look featured in Wonderland magazine. “Your eyes are perfect. OMG,” tweeted one adoring fan. “I love your real eyes,” wrote another.

ON BLACK LINER

Black eyeliner is a true-and-true beauty staple but it’s future is decidedly uncertain. That’s because New York Fashion Week was free from much of any black liner at all. Instead, models were smudged with a dash of shiny facial cream or light touches of peach concealer for an ultra-natural, fresh-faced look.

“Makeup trends come and go depending on what colors and fabrics are emphasized at that particular moment and in general we’re seeing less eyeliner right now,” says MAC Cosmetics Senior Artist John Stapleton. “Women can play with black liner to make their eyes look sultry and catlike, but traditionally the purpose of eyeliner is to make the lashes look thicker so in that regard it’s supposed to be subtle.”

REINVENTING YOUR LOOK

If you’re considering a new look, a makeover could be just the trick to make you feel better and get a head start on the spring season. To make the most of your new look, you may want to consider the condition of your skin and any rejuvenation that could benefit your overall appearance. Some options include microdermabrasion and Botox – two beauty essentials that can make your skin look absolutely incredible. Makeup glides on beautifully and you can look years younger.

For more information on rejuvenating your skin with microdermabrasion or Botox, call Dr. Kincaid at  858-450-4199 and schedule your consultation at our centrally located La Jolla office. Residents of the Inland Empire are welcomed to call our Temecula location at 951-695-9934.

Padding or plastic surgery? Hayden Panettiere’s new look.

April 8th, 2013

Hollywood plastic surgery is no longer shocking for most people. In fact, plastic surgery for the stars and starlets has become the norm. With fashion magazines and tabloids featuring the latest celebs with the best plastic surgery, it’s no surprise the majority of Americans have no problem with going under the knife.

So as Hayden Panettiere showed off her bikini body, speculation arose: is her new busty look a breast implant surgery or did she just opt for a little help from some strategic padding.

The 23-year-old Nashville star was seen enjoying some much needed sunshine in the beautiful city of Miami. Her already curvy appearance was complemented by a fuller looking yet natural breast. That’s why all the magazines are now wondering if the blonde bombshell had permanent enhancement or simply a little lift from padding.

“It appears that Hayden has some Nashville-sized breast implants,” said one plastic surgeon who has not treated the star. Comments were made to RadarOnline.com.

“The wrinkles on the inner part of her breast are very consistent with wrinkles we see with saline breast implants, which can be inserted through the armpit,” explained the doctor. It’s to be noted that other types of implants like fat injections and gummy bear implants can have less of a wrinkling effect.

“Implant wrinkles or not, I think Hayden looks great!” he added.

Whether the starlet has indeed gotten implants is up to speculation but one thing is for sure – she really does look fantastic.

GETTING THE LOOK: FULLER BREASTS

When it comes to achieving a full looking breast in a bikini, you can always opt for an underwire top that helps accentuate the bust line. Also, strategic padding underneath the breast can also make the bust appear fuller and curvier.

However, when padding is simply not enough, you may be a good candidate for breast implant surgery in San Diego. With the help of specialized plastic surgeon, Dr. Kincaid, you can achieve the look you have always wanted even without the bulky padding. Plus, as every gal knows, padding is just temporary. To enjoy the look of full breasts full time, you may wish to speak to a plastic surgeon about getting breast augmentation surgery.

For more information or to schedule a consultation, call Dr. Kincaid at  858-450-4199 today.

Improving self-esteem 4 steps at a time

April 6th, 2013

When it comes to feeling better about yourself, now is the time – with spring in the air, you can start feeling better about the way you feel. A negative impression of how you view yourself can lead to a whole host of problems including depression, poor self-image and even cause interference in your personal and professional life. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery says that now more than ever, high self-esteem can be achieved with four simple steps.

1. Tell yourself that you are amazing every day

Most of us are used to dismissing compliments, much less accepting them from ourselves. But it’s so important to tell yourself every day that you are an amazing person inside and out. Try telling yourself out loud that you are a good person and that you look beautiful – try to even memorize some favorite phrases that you can repeat when you are feeling in the dumps or if you’re just having one of those days. It really works even though you may feel silly doing it, so get started on your positive daily affirmations today.

2. Posture

Never has it been so important to stand tall and proud of yourself. Hunching over not only looks unflattering for all of your body, but it can subconsciously lead to a negative perception of yourself when you are constantly looking at the ground. Get started on a more confident version of you and start standing taller, with a straight spine and your head looking forward.

Surgery.org says, “Pretend there is an invisible string attached to the top of your head and your shoulders constantly pulling you gently upward toward the ceiling. This will help keep your neck straight and your shoulders squared.”

3. Personal Days

Sometimes, it’s important to take a moment to reflect on yourself and where your life is going. Get started on improving your mental health by resting your mind. Take a day off work and dedicate it to yourself. Think of your life and how you feel about the relationships you are maintaining. If there are any negatives that need pruning, don’t hesitate to remove or improve those elements in your life. It’s the only way you can really make progress toward improving yourself and your self-esteem.

4. Look Great

There’s something to be said about a beautiful outward appearance. If you are feeling like you need to a lift, try a non-invasive procedure such as Botox, chemical peel or microdermabrasion. These relatively easy in-office procedures can lead to a more youthful version of you. Why not consider an uplifting makeover to make the most of your self-esteem?

For more information on any of these procedures, call Dr. Kincaid at his centrally-located Temecula office at 951-695-9934 and schedule your consultation today.

Spring is in the air! Your new fitness and beauty routines await.

April 4th, 2013

Now that spring has sprung, a new air of motivation can be felt everywhere from the covers of fashion magazines to the smiles on the faces of women across America. If you’re like many, spring is the perfect time to reassess your fitness, beauty and skin care routine. Not only will you feel better about yourself, but you can also look years younger while shedding off winters’ grey.

Fitness

According to Surgery.org, your fitness routine can be reinvigorated with changing your routine to be primarily outdoors. Anything from yoga to jogging, hiking and swimming can now be an outdoor activity. Outdoor fitness is a great idea for shedding the extra pounds that winter and holiday eating and stress has packed on. Now is the time to get going! You can even start as simply as walking every morning. Increase your resistance by adding ankle or wrist weights or practice endurance by stepping it up to a daily morning jog.

Skin Care

Since you will be spending more time outdoors, there’s never been a more important time to protect your skin. As most women know, the sun is the primary cause of wrinkles, fine lines and age spots – huge deterrents to keeping your skin looking young and refreshed. Wearing sunscreen is especially important when you exercise outdoors as well. Get ahead of the season by slathering on a daily sunscreen that’s at least SPF 30+.

Drink Water

Staying replenished with delicious, fresh water not only sounds good, but is good. Your body needs plenty of hydration to keep cells, organs and skin moist and soft. Plus, it helps your body function at prime levels internally not to mention the beautiful and healthy glow it lends to the face. Drink plenty of water as we head into spring to make the most of the increase of sunshine and longer days.

Reassess facial areas

If you are considering a change to your face whether it is a mild rejuvenation, a non-invasive procedure or a more dramatic change, spring is the perfect time to get the look you have always wanted. Cosmetic enhancements like Botox are an excellent choice for ladies who want to take years off their face and relax fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are alternatively great choices for a healthy glow as well. Considering something more dramatic? Talk to a plastic surgeon in San Diego to understand which procedures can help you look younger while maintaining a natural look.

For more information on any of these procedures, call Dr. Kincaid at his centrally located La Jolla office at 858-450-4199 and schedule your consultation today and look spring-ready in no time!
