An expertly-performed facelift erases many of the visible signs of aging from your face. Although it can’t prevent or stop the natural aging process entirely, it can help you appear refreshed and younger by smoothing the skin on your face, tightening facial muscles, and eliminating excess fat.

Non-invasive facelifts, available at our London clinic, are rapidly growing in popularity because they can improve the appearance of your face and restore its contours without the need for surgery. Problem areas such as nasolabial and marionette lines can be ‘lifted’ to produce an attractive, invigourating, and natural appearance.

At the London FAMI clinic we regularly perform two innovative anti-ageing procedures that produce beautiful and long-lasting results: the FAMI technique and the Bleph21 procedure. They take years off your appearance using natural resources, not scalpels or needles.

FAMI

Developed by Dr Amar in 1997, FAMI uses the basic principles of fat grafting to restore vanished youth. A combination of fat and adult stem cells are injected into the facial muscles and under the periosteum to accomplish two important purposes:

• Lost muscular tissue and bone are redeveloped
• Muscular tissue that supports the facial structure is restored, providing a completely natural facelift

This treatment reverses the so-called ‘tear trough effect’, brightening your eyes, making your cheeks full and younger-looking, and filling in the temporal hollows that deepen with age.

Expecting that a lot of the transplanted fat cells will be absorbed after treatment, many practitioners will ‘overcorrect’, or apply too much and leave you with a stretched or uneven appearance. Injecting deep into the dermis, Dr Amar only applies the exact amount of fat-stem cell solution you need to achieve your desired results. There are no unpleasant surprises that will (hopefully) go away eventually: what you see when you look into the mirror after treatment is literally what you get.

Bleph21

Traditional eyelid surgery removes excess skin and ‘tightens’ the remainder by pulling it up. While it addresses the age-related problem of loose skin around the eyes, surgery also eliminates fat structure under the lower lid, which can make your eye area age more quickly.

Bleph21 delivers stunning results for people who have lost the smoothness and sparkle of youth in the eye area due to volume loss. This non-invasive facelift procedure, which is carried out in our London office under local anaesthetic, injects a combination of your own fat cells and stem cells into the muscular structure around your eyes. The complications are minimal compared to traditional facelift procedures.

Am I a suitable candidate for a non-invasive facelift?

If you are physically and psychologically healthy and have specific, realistic goals for your treatment, you are an ideal candidate. Our Bleph21 treatment will not correct skin and muscle laxity in the brow or upper eyelid, but Dr Amar can recommend suitable treatment options for these situations.

Are there any possible complications associated with a non-invasive facelift?

FAMI facelifting and Bleph21 eyelid treatments use purified versions of your own tissues, so there’s no risk of an allergic reaction. There are also no incisions, so any complications associated with traditional surgeries are absent or minor. There may be slight bruising or swelling around the injection sites, but it disappears fast.
