Pearl fat grafting, was used in the 19th century and seems to be re-discovered by some doctors in the seventies. Shortly after liposuction was introduced by a French Plastic Surgeon, Yves Gerard Illouz since the 1980s, the use of fat injection in plastic surgery has been widely used in treating many serious conditions due to disease, trauma, or birth defect. For near twenty years, fat auto-grafting remained an accepted technique in the treatment of depressions and augmenting thin soft tissues in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

The facial autograft muscle injection (FAMI™ ) technique has to be inscribed in the continuity of these first attempts to achieve a long lasting restoration of volumes.In the cosmetic surgery realm, fat transfer or fat grafting is still considered quite controversial because of lack of harmonious longevity, and lumpy results which imply numerous touch ups.

Dr Roger Amar is monitoring his FAMI technique in the hands of his best scholars !
The fat transplantation into the muscles of facial expression, known under the abbreviation: FAMI or FAT AUTOGRAFT MUSCLE INJECTION is the state-of the-art of autologous fat transplant techniques.

This 14 years old method brings the fatty connective tissue transplant to the contact of the best vascular bed in the face and skull, giving the maximum of chance to any transplant to set. It is called the “Ultimate fat grafting with ultimate longevity”.

The Dr Amar’ scholars know how to identify of the 30 muscles of facial expression and are experts in injection with the FAMI set in a way that, at first respects venous and lymphatic vascularization.

The high rate of patient satisfaction is due to the high rate of transplant success without necessity of touching up.
