It is not uncommon to hear men say emphatically that they don’t believe they need to wear sunscreen. There are a number of reasons why they have this belief, but none of them are correct. According to a recent local article the Skin Cancer Foundation estimates that in excess of 90 percent of malignant skin cancer is directly related to excessive exposure to the sun with little, if any at all sunscreen being used. Studies have proven that daily use of sunscreen can lessen your risk of developing melanoma by up to 50 percent or more. Men who are bald or balding, including those with thinning hair or a receding hairline need to be especially careful in the summer months to be certain that their scalp is adequately covered. The scalp is often overlooked and is a part of the body that is largely vulnerable to both the UVA and UVB sun rays. It’s critical for men to make sunscreen part of their daily regimen. One way to help make sunscreen a routine is to keep it close to your toothbrush or razor, and to utilize a sunscreen product that contains an SPF 50-plus. Another method is to utilize sunscreen as an aftershave, and making sure to apply it to both the scalp and ears. Dr. Stuart Kincaid consults with men who are concerned with aging of the face. Often this is due to many years of neglecting the use of sunscreen. Some men are concerned that they may not be a candidate for a facelift due to thinning hair or a receding hairline. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains that with his skill and surgical expertise he makes an effort to suggest facial rejuvenation procedures that will keep incisions well hidden. Dr. Stuart Kincaid may recommend an endoscopic brow lift which would keep incisions very small. As men age many can also benefit from a blepharoplasty which Dr. Stuart Kincaid will typically perform at the same time. Men should be diligent about maintaining their best appearance.

As we enter the last week of the year most TV programs reflect upon 2011 hoping that we look back and remember the year with emotion. Plastic surgery in general has experienced quite a different year then the industry has in previous years. Patients have been able to enjoy many different options for cosmetic plastic surgery including both invasive as well as noninvasive procedures. 
In this day and age the modern-day man has as much pressure to look good and youthful as modern-day women. In a competitive job market and a divorce rate that is over 50% it is likely that men will find themselves in situations where looks matter. As aging becomes less accepted for men(when is the last time that you heard someone call a man’s wrinkles distinguished?) men are turning to cosmetic plastic surgery as a viable option for maintaining their best appearance. 
Being a father can bring the same stresses into life as being a mother. Often times, men will put off taking care of their appearance with the excuse that they are busy with work and the kids.
