Aging of the skin is caused by two principlefactors. On the one hand the force of gravity on the skin and on the other handthe skin loses its elasticity because there is less collagen in the skin.Stress, hereditary and the wrong doing of the sun are equally to cause. The following exercise is very simple and can show you how your new face willbe. Look at yourself in the mirror.

EYELIDCORRECTION (BLEPHAROPLASTY) The eyes are the mirror of your face. Excessskin and folds on the upper eyelids or baggy eyelids give the impression ofpermanent fatigue. Upper and/or lower eyelid surgery can return that opensparkling regard, that you once knew. This sort of procedure isactually in the “hit parade” of the 3 most frequently carried outplastic surgery operations. Whathappens?Upper eyelidsDuring the operation, the surgeon removes the excess skin which is draggingyour eyelids down. This is done through a fine incision in your natural crease,which leaves an almost invisible scar. Lower eyelidsBags under the eyes are often caused by pockets of fat and are usuallyaccompanied by an excess of skin. The operation involves removing the fat bagsand excess skin through an incision made just under the eyelashes or atthe inner side of the eyelid, which means that there is no visiblescar.  AnestheticMost of the time a local anesthetic  issufficient. Although, it is possible to sedate a nervous patient, and ifnecessary put them completely to sleep. RecoveryAfter surgery, you will need to rest forapproximately one hour before returning to the hotel. You will not be able todrive immediately following surgery. Some medication will be prescribed(Ibuprofen and paracetamol) which you will be able to take in case of pain. Theday following surgery, you can expect your eyes to be swollen and watery, inaddition your vision may be blurred and reduced. Bruising should subside aftera week or so (for upper eyelids), but can take slightly longer when both upperand lower eyelids have been operated on. It is advisable to wear sunglasses when you go outside, and indoors ice-packsand gel masks can help to sooth the eyes and reduce swelling (although notscientifically proven). Your scars will be slightly

Mini facelift surgery is one of the most commonly requested facelift procedures. It tackles sagging skin, wrinkles, and other problems on the lower third of your face via small incisions around the ear area, and restores definition to your chin by removing excess tissue and tightening the remainder. The result is a look that compliments your natural beauty and restores your confidence. That’s the surgical version, anyway. But at the London FAMI clinic our mini facelifts provide you with a refreshed and youthful appearance without the scalpels and prolonged recovery time. They will minimise or erase entirely the following age-related facial problems: (i)Minor sagging of the cheeks and jawline (ii)Hollow cheeks (iii)Deep frown and smile lines (iv)Depressions in the skin (v)Scars due to acne or trauma

When you’re facial skin starts losing its elasticity, gravity takes its toll in ways you may not be comfortable with. Jowls form, your lower lip becomes more pronounced while the upper one recedes, skin around your eyes begins to loosen, and fine lines develop into wrinkles. At this point many people see a plastic surgeon, unaware that it is possible to have a facelift without surgery. At the London FAMI clinic we are proud practitioners of the FAMI technique, which can restore the three-dimensional contours of your face without resorting to surgical treatment. Sunken cheeks, hollowed temples, nasolabial lines, and the loose skin around your eyes can be treated with your own purified fat and stem cells, giving you a rejuvenated look that is both natural and attractive. Developed by Dr Amar and acclaimed worldwide, FAMI is an innovative and leading-edge anti-ageing treatment that provides you with a beautiful yet completely natural facelift. It can rapidly deliver the following benefits, making you look as young as you feel: (i)Improved volume and muscle tone in the face (ii)Increased circulation, thereby tightening the skin naturally (iii)Brighter and more vibrant complexion (iv)Skin has an enhanced ability to heal

As we age, gravity causes the skin on the lower part of the face to sag, causing blurring of the jawline, the appearance of a double chin and laxity on the neck. Highly respected and experienced cosmetic surgeon Dr Roger Amar has been performing neck lift and facial rejuvenation surgery for many years, but as his understanding of the ageing process has developed he has constantly innovated new techniques and procedures that tackle the root cause of ageing. His extensive anatomical knowledge led to precise identification of the platysma muscle in the neck and, with simple microsurgery, he is able to perform a retraction of this muscle, lifting the whole area.
