When people begin to age, the skin in the face begins to sag and wrinkle because the face loses its bone support. The purpose of the endo-facelift without surgery is to improve the appearance of a face so that it does not show the effects of aging as obviously and also corrects the jowls and wrinkling of the facial skin.

Facelift without surgery now becomes a good alternative for surgery, and FAMI™ is surgery without a scalpel! How it works?

Aging occurs because the face loses its bone surfaces, muscle volume causing wrinkles and lines to form around the orbit and the mouth. Loss of volume also causes the face to sag and form jowls along the jaw line. The solution to this is to add the volume back into the face by fat grafting. But fat tranfer as it is usually done after a tough period of bruising and swelling is not working and ends up with lumps and hollowing. Why? Because the fat is a mature tissue that cannot be re-vascularized and the fat transfered without oxygen dies and is resorbed.

By injecting adipose stem cells into the muscles Dr Roger AMAR in the nineties created the FAMI™ procedure which gives a long lasting successful result.

Traditionally with lipofilling or lipostructure™, fat cells are injected below the skin to give a fuller appearance to the face. This causes a non natural reshaping without respect of the structural anatomy. Injecting the adipose stem cells into the muscles make the endo-facelift effect last longer. This because the stem cells get a constant oxygen supply from the muscles so they are able to last for a very long time and they maintain the look of fullness in the face. This is how the treatment has the ability to remain permanent.

The adipose stem cells are injected into the facial mimic muscles when you are under local anesthesia and sedation. There is 2 days recovery time needed and there may be some swelling for a few days because of the injections. Because it is a natural treatment, the side effects are minimal. Also, the endo-facelift will look natural and will not alter your general appearance because the structural anatomy has been restored in its normal volume according to the photos of the patient younger.
