Patients who are considering plastic surgery rarely do so on a whim. Most patients have been thinking about it for a long time and then finally make the decision to move forward. In most cases, it makes sense to begin the research phase of the process as soon as the patient is considering surgery. This is especially important for patients who are considering complex surgeries like post massive weight loss procedures including thigh lift, arm lift, or body lift. Gathering information from reliable sources on the Internet, the ASPS website, and other medical resources can prove valuable in providing background information for the patient. Once the patient has gathered enough research it is time to approach the consultation phase. This is a good time to put together a resource tablet so that patients can refer to questions that they have as they proceed with their consultation. Dr. Stuart Kincaid stresses to his patients, in the initial consultation that it is important to understand that plastic surgeons could vary in their recommendation for the patient. This does not mean necessarily that one plastic surgeon is correct and the other is wrong in their recommendation. A plastic surgeon makes a recommendation based on what he or she is comfortable with in their own hands. For this reason, it can be extremely confusing if a patient has numerous consultations. It is much more effective if patients make a decision prior to the consultation concerning which qualities and characteristics must be present in the practice and with the plastic surgeon that they choose. For example, is important that your plastic surgeon is located within a 20 mile radius of your home, or is it important that your plastic surgeon has a certain number of years of experience? These should be decided before making your first consultation so that it becomes much more effective when making the final decision. Dr. Stuart Kincaid typically encourages patients to make their consultation fairly close- to when they are actually ready to schedule there surgery. If the consultation is too far in advance of when the patient is ready for surgery, it is likely that many things could have changed and the recommendation may no longer be valid. Dr. Stuart Kincaid welcomes patients to schedule a consultation to determine which plastic surgery procedures are best for them.

It can be very frustrating for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight. While on the surface there are many compliments on the challenge they have faced and the fact that they have overcome the odds. But beneath the surface for many patients there is a significant amount of loose skin that reminds them every day of their weight loss. Some patients wear full body spanxs which helped to hold the skin tight, at least from an appearance perspective. But, as the summer months get underway spanxs underneath close can be extremely uncomfortable. Many patients consult with Dr. Stuart Kincaid to determine what their options are for eliminating loose and lax skin on their arms, abdomen, and ou thighs. For many patients it’s not just a cosmetic issue. Skin folds can be not only uncomfortable but can sweat and develop rashes and infections. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains to patients after weight loss that post massive weight loss surgery is the only truly effective way to remove a significant amount of loose skin. For the abdomen Dr. Stuart Kincaid will typically recommend an abdominoplasty. For most patients who have lost weight an extended incision may be necessary to obtain the best aesthetic results. For the thighs Dr. Stuart Kincaid will typically recommend a thigh lift which will allow him to lift up the excess skin and remove it leaving tighter more toned looking legs. For the arms Dr. Stuart Kincaid will typically recommend a brachioplasty or arm lift. This will allow him to remove the excess skin on the underside of the arm utilizing an incision that is well hidden on the underside of the arm. Patients are overwhelmingly thrilled with the results Dr. Stuart Kincaid can deliver after patients have lost weight. In some cases Dr. Stuart Kincaid may recommend that patients have the surgeries performed separately to ensure safety and maximize the results. Patients are encouraged to consult with Dr. Stuart Kincaid and determine if post massive weight loss surgery is a viable option for them.

The link between heart disease and obesity has become even more evident. According to recent onlinearticle a large new study links heart disease and obesity. According to the article a large new study is the first to prove a specific association between a high body-mass index and the risk of developing heart disease, British and Danish researchers say. Body-mass index (BMI) is a measurement that uses height and weight as a basis. People with a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 are considered to be of normal weight while those with a BMI of 30 or more are considered obese. Those who fall in between are considered to be overweight. For the study, the researchers closely studied data from more than 75,000 people in Copenhagen and found that those with a high BMI had a 26 percent higher risk of developing heart disease. Further study using genetic and other information showed that a BMI increase of 4 points increases the likelihood of developing of heart disease by at least 52 percent. Using epidemiological studies in combination with genetic analysis, we have been able to prove in a group of nearly 76,000 persons that a high BMI is enough alone to damage the hear Borge Nordestgaard, chief physician at Copenhagen University Hospital, summarized in a university news release. Many of Dr. StuartKincaid‘s patientswho previously suffered from obesity and a high BMI were able to lose the weight and maintain a stable healthy weight. Most decided to have plasticsurgery following major weight loss because of excessive skin in common areas like the upper arms, outer thighs, and abdomen. Many patients reduced their risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions by losing the weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle. There is no other way to rid the body of the loose and lax skin except for post massive weight loss surgical procedures. Dr. Stuart Kincaid explains that these procedures include a brachioplastyfor the arms, a thighplasty for the thighs, and an abdominoplastyfor the abdomen. These procedures are typically performed in stages to ensure patient safety and optimal results. Become a Fan on Facebook Follow us on Twitter More on Dr.Kincaid

In our health-conscious country fortunately our government has made strong efforts to not only ban smoking in most places, but also heavily regulate the use of tobacco. It is undisputed that tobacco use is hazardous to our health. According to a recent online article the FDA is set to weigh in on the safety of tobacco lozenges which are used to help smokers who want to smoke in places where they are not allowed to smoke. According to the article the safety and risks of “dissolvables” are the subject of a three-day U.S. Food and Drug Administration meeting this week. ”Dissolvables” are flavored mints, strips and sticks of smokeless tobacco. These products are not stop-smoking aids. Instead, they are designed to allow people to satisfy their cravings for nicotine in places where smoking is banned. Dr. Thomas Glynn, director of cancer science and trends at the American Cancer Society, said there are many unknowns about dissolvable tobacco products. “At this point, we don’t know the full range of what is in them,” he said. “I don’t see any potential in these dissolvable products other than to keep people smoking.” These products are of concern to Dr. Stuart Kincaid because the risk associated with smoking and surgery are primarily connected to the use of nicotine products. Patients who utilize smokeless tobacco, nicotine patches, or other devices that contain tobacco are at no less risk than actual cigarette smokers. Dr. Stuart Kincaid informs every new surgery patient during the preoperative process of the specific risk and complications related to patients who smoke. Procedures such as facelift, breast lift, and thigh lift are just a few of the procedures that are specifically of interes,t because of the amount of tension needed to hold together incisions when lifting the skin. Putting tension on skin that is compromised because of prolonged tobacco use can cause delayed wound healing and scarring that is less than aesthetically pleasing. The best case scenario is for patients not to smoke or use tobacco products at all. But, if they are using tobacco products abstaining from those products for a minimum of three weeks prior to surgery and four weeks after surgery is the very minimum recommendation advised. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is committed to helping patients who desire cosmetic plastic surgery and need help to quit the use of tobacco products prior to surgery. Dr. Stuart Kincaid’s patients are intended to be patients for a lifetime so; he and his staff are willing to help patients throughout the entire process Become a Fan on Facebook Follow us on Twitter More on Dr.Kincaid

Most health related conditions including obesity, can take a significant toll on the wallets of not only the obese person, but society as a whole. According to a recent online health magazine obese people not only earn less but also spend more. According to the article the analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth revealed that in 2004, overall average annual incomes were $8,666 less for obese women and $4,772 less for obese men compared with normal weight workers. In 2008, obese women made an average of $5,826 (15 percent) less than normal-weight females, the George Washington University researchers said. This is significant because the resources necessary for some to lose weight, especially if they are extremely overweight, can be costly even for those with insurance. Often patients who have lost a significant amount of weight have a large amount of loose and lax skin on their body. Dr. Stuart Kincaid helps post massive weight loss patients understand that while the investment may be significant to reconstruct the body contour after massive weight loss it is well worth the investment. As a member of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Stuart Kincaid is uniquely qualified to handle the challenges that face patients who have been diligent about their weight loss and have maintained a stable weight. Patients often lack the knowledge concerning post-massive weight loss plastic surgery procedures and the complications that can occur when the procedures are performed by inexperienced surgeons. The most popular procedures include extended abdominoplasty, brachioplasty( arm lift), thighplasty (thigh lift) , and breast reduction/breast lift. Patients have a detailed consultation with Dr. Stuart Kincaid to help determine a treatment plan that will allow the patient to get the best value based on the recommended procedures. It is tempting for patients to want all of the procedures performed together, this in many cases is cost prohibitive but is also rarely a safe option. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is excels at helping patients choose the right procedures to achieve the maximum value.

As the nation pushes toward a better informed consumer population what we eat and drink has become an issue. In light of the obesity epidemic it is not surprising that calorie counting will be mandatory from a restaurant establishments in 2012. A recent local news 10 story looked at sugary drinks and their effect on teenagers who are a large part of their market. According to the story interestingly enough teenagers were less likely to purchase sugary drinks when there was a warning sign associated with the sugary drink choice. The warning signs ranged in content from stating the calories that would be consumed, to the most effective, which was stating the amount of exercise it would take to eliminate the calories once consumed. It is hopeful that in 2012 consumers will not choose sugary drinks once they are given the information concerning how many calories are in each drink. Dr. Stuart Kincaid empathizes with his patients who struggle to maintain a healthy weight. For many this includes eliminating high calorie foods and drinks. On a positive note, many of Dr. Stuart Kincaid’s patients have been able to not only lose the weight but also keep it off. Many of these patients complain about loose and lax skin on their arms abdomen and upper thighs. For these patients Dr. Stuart Kincaid will typically recommend a brachioplasty for the arms. An abdominoplasty for the abdominal pouch of skin that tends to sag after massive weight loss is likely to be the recommendation for some patients. An upper thigh lift is effective for patients who have extreme loose skin on the upper thighs and lower buttocks. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is able to achieve enviable results due to his experience and exceptional credentials specifically for people who are post massive weight loss patients. Dr. Stuart Kincaid is a proud member of the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons. These board certified plastic surgeons have specific expertise with the population who has lost weight and desire body contouring procedures with exceptional results.

The old saying that a picture is worth 1000 words holds true in the marketing of weight loss programs and products. According to a recent article on women’s website, some worry that before and after photos can cause more pressure to be thin than motivation to be healthy. The article calls this “thinspiration” . Eating disorder prevention advocates find weight loss before and after photos damaging; however,others feel progress photos may work for some women. But if they become a fixation, or take the focus off why shedding extra weight is important (because it can cut your risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart attack, etc.), progress photos can go from inspiration to dangerous “thinspiration.” Which is pretty much the opposite of getting healthy.Dr. Stuart Kincaid shares with patients after weight loss the fact that it is not uncommon for patients to feel embarrassed about their excessive loose and lax skin. The weight-loss ads do not prepare patients for the large amounts of skin that could be evident following massive weight loss. Dr. Stuart Kincaid performs post massive weight loss plastic surgery procedures that are extremely beneficial to this patient population. The procedures include thighplasty, abdominoplasty, and brachioplasty. In most cases, these procedures will need to be performed separately in the best interest of patient safety. The dramatic difference that Dr. Stuart Kincaid is able to make for his patients could never be achieved through diet and exercise alone.

As with many questions posed to Americans the question of smoking has become a vague and blended answer. Some patients who smoke occasionally in social settings call themselves non-smokers. Dr. Stuart Kincaid requires full disclosure of all nicotine products used prior to surgery. Patients are educated on the risk of smoking associated with plastic surgery. For abdominoplasty, facelift, or other lifting procedures the risk are greatly increased for delayed wound healing. This could mean not only an inconvenience but also unsightly scars once the wound has healed. Smokers are less likely to experience these complications when they are able to quit. Although California appears to have less smokers the fact remains that those who are smokers are a similar demographic to those considering plastic surgery. According to Sign On San Diego State health officials hailed a new study Wednesday showing fewer Californians than ever say they smoke. The rate of adult smokers statewide dropped to a record low of 11.9 percent in 2010, making California and Utah the only states to reach a federal target to cut smoking rates to 12 percent by 2020, according to a California Department of Public Health report.
“The drop in smoking means that fewer people will see their lives cut short by tobacco,” said Dr. Ron Chapman, department director.Officials attributed at least some of the drop to California’s aggressive public anti-smoking campaign launched in the late 1980s. While the latest statistics are encouraging, health officials said smoking remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death, killing more than 400,000 Americans annually.

Maintaining a healthy body contour requires attention to diet and exercise. Arms are an area that cause some people dissatisfaction. Some patients tell Dr. Stuart Kincaid that they are dissatisfied with the thickness and shape of their arms. For patients who have large amounts of loose and lax skin on their arms brachioplasty could be a solution. This allows Dr. Stuart Kincaid to remove the excess skin on the underside of the arm. While there is a scar from the incision, patients are happy to learn that the scar is well hidden. If patients have only a thickness in their arms that they are concerned about liposuctionmay be a better option. There are exercises that improve the contour of patients arms. According to Sign On San Diego this exercise helps with shoulder strength and tones arms:
The move: A dynamic shoulder movement using dumbbells for resistance.
Works on: Shoulder strength, endurance and stability.
Difficulty: Easy.
Setup: Stand holding light dumbbells at your side that are very easy for you to raise up so you can get an idea of what weight you should use. Your feet should be shoulder width apart and you should be standing as tall as possible.
Steps: From the starting position bring your hands out in line with your body, performing a lateral raise. Without lowering the weights bring your arms around so the weight is straight in front of you with your arms parallel to the floor. From here take the weight straight above your head keeping your hands in the same position. Lower the weight in the reverse order. That is one repetition.

Plastic surgeons have realized for many years that self-esteem and self-confidence are directly related to body self image. While few would prescribe plastic surgeryas a remedy, many would agree that when performed for the right reasons patients are extremely happy with the outcome. While reports may link bariatric surgery to relief from depression, the excess skin left behind can be extremely discouraging. Dr. Stuart Kincaid recommends that post massive weight loss patients pursue plastic surgery to remove the excess skin as soon as their weight is stable. The most popular procedures arebrachioplasty, abdominoplasty, and thigh lift. When making the decision to proceed with removing the excess skin patients have a much more aesthetically pleasing shape and are much more confident in and out of their clothing. According to San Diego channel 10 depression and anxiety are common among morbidly obese patients who get bariatric surgery. What contributes to the other can be a chicken-and-egg argument. But studies have shown that with weight loss, there are improvements in depression. In a study, Jonathan Finks, an assistant professor of surgery of University Michigan and his co-authors observed that 46 percent of the patients getting the weight loss surgery have a psychiatric disorder.
