My FAMI Journey to Renewed Beauty
My journey to renewing my beauty, now at age 44 began with the realization that I did not want to use temporary facial fillers as an answer to my signs of aging. I wanted to find a natural procedure with permanent qualities. Primarily what I wanted to correct was the loss of overall facial volume as seen in these ‘before’ photos taken prior to my FAMI procedure, which was done in December 2020. I had seen my face become more and more hollow under the eyes and cheeks, with deepening laughing lines and a more bonier forehead. Upon realizing that no amount of foundation and make up could cover this, and seeing that this really began to bother how I felt about myself, I knew I needed to find a solution in my fight against these signs of aging.
In my research I discovered the FAMI (facial autologous muscular injection) procedure: an anatomically targeted deep multiplane autologous grafting technique using adipose stem cell injection. Lots of big words here, especially for people like me who have no background on medical terminology. But after I looked it up, it’s quite simple once you break it down. In the simplest terms I know how to say it; it’s an organic process of your own adult stem cells actively working in you to renew and rebuild at the deepest cellular levels, which includes bones, facial fat tissues and muscles.
Upon learning that FAMI was actually pioneered by Dr. Roger Amar himself, and that other doctors throughout the years and from around the world have been trained by him on this, I knew that I wanted his renowned expertise on the technique and proven depth of knowledge on facial anatomy to help me regain a more youthful appearance. I loved that he carefully studied my natural facial structure through pictures from my twenties, using it as a template to what my own natural true self looked like then and what he should aim for now while also taking into account my current state.
The procedure has given me the combination of a natural yet highly scientifically forward thinking process, which was exactly what I was looking for. FAMI has given my face a continual day-by-day rejuvenation which is visible now months later and with certainty on a future ongoing basis as well. This is simply because as I had already mentioned earlier, it is an organic process of adult stem cells actively working to renew and rebuild at the deepest cellular levels. If I had to summarize the changes I have experienced and continue to experience to this day, it’s like your face is being born again, because FAMI resets your entire system. So, instead of cringing to look at myself in the mirror each morning like I did before, now I take great pleasure and excitement to see the ongoing big changes happening deep down which manifest on the surface. Needless to say I feel amazing(!) and so good about myself. Regaining this sense of wellbeing through a restored self-image is a gift I’m glad I gave myself.
So all that to say, I am deeply grateful to Dr. Amar and his wonderful London and Marbella staff who have been a godsend to me in my quest to renewing beauty and rediscovering a better self image. This not only include FAMI, but Dr. Amar just redid (April 2021) my past breast augmentation that was done by another doctor which had major asymmetrical issues. As with FAMI, I trusted him to discern the corrections needed, to know me in detail anatomically and utilize his decades of knowledge and expertise in aesthetic procedures, which also include breast augmentation. I am very happy with the care and detail paid to not only selecting the right size implant that best fit my body, but also to taking care of the incision and its closure with much precision so as to minimize scarring.
In the past I chose doctors based on criterias that were confined to my narrow ideas of what I thought was important at that time such as cost or even how well-spoken the doctor was. I didn’t take a deep enough dive into truly understanding the most important things about selecting a Doctor or the type of procedure best suited for me. This time around, taking the time to research and learn about aspects of aesthetics such as the importance of a Doctor’s depth of knowledge of facial anatomy or how adult stem cells can work wonders in your body gave me the right information upon which to make my decision.
The simple fact is, not all doctors are at the same level in their knowledge, expertise and certainly not in their motivation and care for you. What initially convinced me to choose Dr. Amar was his decades of experience in helping both men and women find anti-aging solutions and the fact he was the one who developed FAMI. How I know I made the right choice, was not only because of the amazing results of my FAMI and breast augmentation procedure, but in getting to know Dr. Amar I discovered a kind soul that deeply cares about people. As he put it, regarding what he rejoices about in his work is seeing a patient: “regain that sparkle in their eyes”. To know that he truly understood what it meant for me to attain a renewed sense of beauty through these procedures, was genuine care and compassion I didn’t expect, but I am blessed to have. So it is with deep appreciation of his skill and his heart that I recommend Dr. Amar.
A final point about the FAMI procedure: It is important to understand that the FAMI process is not like the quick fix of getting facial fillers, but rather a process that has different stages of changes taking place over a period of time. My first three months for example entailed the biggest transformations from the normal initial swelling to the settling of the stem cells, which recreate your facial contours. I would emphasize to you, it is your responsibility to understand this so you can have realistic expectations about recovery time and about the fact that your face will go through a gradual transformation. The 6-month period is when the results are considered permanent because that's when all the regenerative activity has settled down and your face is now in its new norm.
Thanks for reading through my story. No matter what you choose for yourself in your journey towards renewed beauty, do your due diligence and research all aspects of the procedure and the Doctor you are considering so you can make a truly informed decision that is without fear or hesitation. After all, this is about your most precious presentation of yourself; your face. FAMI for me has been life changing and I am so grateful to have had a team of amazing people from Dr. Amar’s clinic to go along in this journey with me.
With all my heart; thank you!
