 Lipotransfer FAMI according to Dr. Amar - An Alternative to Facelift
 Since more than 20 years autologous fat transfer (Lipofilling or Lipotransfer) for wrinkles treatment is a very popular and successful procedure. Recently also facial fat transfer, lip augmentation, breast augmentation and buttocks augmentation can be performed with autologous fat transfer. Autologous fat transfer restores the volume of the face. In this manner the procedure renews face proportions, to be like at a younger age. Skin of the face which may hang and has a lot of wrinkles, acquires new tension and vitality. A further mechanism of improvement represent the stem cells. Recently they are a famous term in cosmetic surgery. Stem cells are known, that they can produce new cells and regenerate the body or its parts. Fat used for grafting (reinjection) is rich in stem cells. We can isolate these stem cells and inject them separately to improve the face. In the other case, when we perform traditional fat injection, stem cells are a natural part of the graft. Therefore in this manner fat transfer is a stem cell treatment. After fat transfer we observe strong rejuvenation and refreshment of the face skin. This may be the result of properties of the stem cells.
Lipofilling is a less invasive treatment than facelift (rhytidectomy). F.A.M.I. lipotransfer is an outpatient procedure that does not require general anesthesia. Small amounts of fat are removed from the lower part of the body. The fat is placed directly into the facial muscle. FAMI lipotransfer is an alternative to facelift. No lancet is used. It is sometimes also called fat injection or fat transfer.
