Q: Am I eligible for a fat transfer to the breasts or buttocks?

A: Well, it depends. Do you have the material to work with?

For women to qualify for this procedure they need to have a little extra fat on their bodies. For women the range is usually somewhere between a size 6-14. If there is too little fat we may have difficulty obtaining enough fat to transfer elsewhere on the body. Give us a call to find out if you are the right fit.

Fall Skin Renewal at The Langdon Center

There is something exciting about fall. Maybe it’s the memories of going back to school, but each fall we spruce up our wardrobes, get a fresh haircut and maybe a new, rich hair color. You are recovering from the summer and so is your skin. Maybe you were a skin care saint, reapplying your SPF 70 sun protection hourly and dressing like a beekeeper on the beach. If so, kudos to you! Some folks were not summer-sun- saints. They have a few new sun spots, some patchiness and flakes, an overall dullness that they can’t seem to scrub off. If they were very unsaintly perhaps even a dreaded, new wrinkle! Luckily, you have access to the resources, technology and expertise here at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery in Guilford, CT.

This is a good time of year to call upon the professionals at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery. A Weekend Laser Peel will erase some of the hours digging in the garden or entertaining poolside and requires only 2 to 3 days’ downtime. The MicroLaserPeel ™ at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery is a minimal to partial epidermal peel that precisely removes the outermost layers of skin and leaves your skin looking younger and feeling healthier.

If you are looking for the additional benefit of skin tightening, you may ask about SkinTyte Skin Tightening, which is great for sagging skin on the face and neck (the most commonly treated areas) and can also be used on the body with great results.

Keeping Abreast of Your Health

If you were wondering why little pink bows keep popping up everywhere, you’re not going crazy. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month and the pink ribbon is a symbol to spread support and awareness about breast cancer. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc., women in America get breast cancer more than any other type of cancer except for skin cancer, and it is second to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women. Breast cancer may affect you or someone you love, so it’s an excellent idea to get familiar with your “girls” big or small, high or low, first set or second pair, because prevention is key!

The Future is Natural

As cosmetic technology races ahead, The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery in Guilford, CT is keeping up with the latest advancements and delivering them to you. Such is the case with fat transfers to the face. In the past decade, “fillers” such as Radiesse and Sculptra, which are made up of tiny particles, have become extremely popular as a way to restore lost volume. Now at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery we offer an even more natural looking alternative. With a natural fat transfer to the face, the result is a plumper, more youthful look, without the risk of a foreign substance being introduced to your body.

One of the most important areas of the face that can be treated with fat augmentation is the area very close to the eyes (the eyelids and adjacent areas). Fat is the only filling material that can safely be used in this delicate area.

Something to keep in mind when considering if a fat transfer to the face is the correct option for you is that fat augmentation is not designed to treat severe skin wrinkles or sagging. If you do have deeper wrinkling we can look at other excellent options when you come in for a consultation.

This May Come In Handy – Fat Transfer to the Hands

In my last blog post, I told you about natural augmentation (fat transfer) of the buttocks here at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery. Today, I thought I’d discuss your hands. Many people worry about the state of their hands but seem to think that there is little they can do about it. They put up with thinning, crepey skin and discoloration hoping that “miracle” lotions will do the trick. Luckily fat transfers are now available that create volume where it is needed and enable you to regain the youthful, healthy hands you deserve.

If the skin on your hands is thinning, crepey, or discolored, or reveals the underlying bones and tendons, a fat transfer is an excellent option and may be the solution for you. At The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that your hands are constantly braving the elements; whether you’re a gardener, a softball star or a classical pianist your hands are exposed to the elements. A fat transfer to your hands provides a plumper, softer appearance, removing years of lost collagen and laxity. Because we harvest excess fat from another part of your body to use as the filler, the effect is totally natural.

Stay tuned for my next post in which I will discuss one more Fat Transfer procedure that we offer here at The Langdon Center.

Fat Transfer Options at The Langdon Center

Q: Dr. Langdon, I know about “natural breast augmentation” where you take excess fat from areas such as the hips or thighs and implant it into the breast tissue. Do you use that technique with any other part of the body?

A: Yes, we do.

In fact, at The Langdon Center for Laser & Cosmetic Surgery we have several natural augmentations that are quickly becoming popular. One of the fat transfer procedures that we offer is a fat transfer to the buttocks. A natural buttock lift gives a rounder, higher, fuller appearance and the “S” shaped curve on celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez that many women are seeking to emulate. Reducing the adjacent flank area of the lower back (by liposuction) further accentuates the natural “S” curve.

There are some limitations including the volume that we can add in just one session. However, if you would like more dramatic results, you can simply schedule additional sessions here in Guilford, CT and we can add extra volume. With a fat transfer to the derrière (or with any of our natural augmentations at The Langdon Center) there is virtually no scarring because of the tiny instrument called a “cannula” that we use. Additional benefits are that only a local anesthetic is required and the fat is harvested from your own body so you don’t have any foreign materials (like silicone) inside of you and avoid the possible risks associated with them.

Fat transfer or natural buttock augmentation gives you results that are natural looking and feeling! You will receive that natural “S” shaped curve that you desire while maintaining your natural lifestyle. To learn more about a natural buttock lift click here .
