About Dr. Stuart B. Kincaid

My Philosophy
Plastic surgery is a highly specialized area of medicine dealing with the mind and body. I believe the goal of cosmetic plastic surgery should be to bring one’s self-image and body-image into better balance; and by so doing, improve one’s self-esteem.

The success of your elective cosmetic surgery procedure is greatly dependent upon the plastic surgeon you choose. Each aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery patient has his or her unique reason for pursuing surgery, and usually it is a very personal one. Some patients are motivated to alter an undesirable physical feature either inherited or acquired, while others simply want to refresh features that have aged over time. My approach to you, the patient, is a highly personalized one.

My initial consultation with you and subsequent visits will focus on your concerns and expectations. I will then carefully assess, in a private and professional manner, those physical features bothersome to you. Together we will proceed in developing a mutually agreed upon treatment plan. It is imperative that realistic goals and expectations be established prior to surgery. I will make every effort to lend a sensitive ear to your needs with the utmost degree of respect. It has been my experience that a well-informed and realistic cosmetic patient is generally a pleased patient. My commitment is to deliver exceptional cosmetic plastic surgery results in a safe and comfortable environment. When necessary, I will utilize nationally accredited surgery centers or hospitals and fully trained M.D. anesthesiologists to ensure your well-being. My goal is to have happy and satisfied patients after the initial procedure, and in the future, should other cosmetic concerns develop.

My staff and I fully understand that exceptional plastic surgery requires more than board certification alone. Other ingredients must include artistry, attention to detail, compassion, effective communication, self-discipline, experience, integrity, respect for privacy, skillful and delicate application of surgical techniques, natural appearing results and extensive, ongoing sub-specialty training in the field of aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery.

As a seasoned surgeon, with over nineteen years experience in plastic surgery, I firmly believe that your surgical result is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end — that is to say, help you achieve a happy, healthy and productive life. To complement your cosmetic surgery result, our office encourages lifestyle changes when necessary, including proper nutrition, regular and age appropriate exercise, stress reduction and skin care. My staff and I welcome a long-term relationship in helping you attain your BEST IMAGE!
