Dr. Stuart Kincaid advises patients seeking plastic surgery that their state of mind is very important. Patients who are anxious and sad about their lives, and feel that a breast augmenation or liposuction will change everything  are mistaken. Plastic surgery is an enhancement not a replacement. Plastic surgery usually enhances a patients self- confidence and self-esteem, but it will not cause nor treat depression.
