After researching thoroughly, the options of face rejuvenation, from the old-fashioned facelift to fillers and Botox, I came across Dr. Amar and the FAMI facelift technique. I wish I had done so earlier lol! I had spent thousands on fillers over a 7-year time span and I was over it.
From the moment I contacted Dr. Amar, he and his team were just amazing. I was flying in from the US. They were able to accommodate me all the way. I was very nervous, this was my face. Being and actress and used to the scrutiny of the camera, I knew this was something I would only trust into the very best hands.
Dr. Amar took the time during our consultation and explained every step pre and post operation- I left the office excited. He listened to my concerns with patience and kindness – I was so relieved, I hugged him lol!!
His wonderful team checked in with me the day before, to make sure I would remember the pre- operation checklist and adhere to it. I arrived at the clinic early the morning of the operation and the staff were wonderful. Dr. Amar did one more consultation, where we went through all the steps he would take, explaining carefully what to expect.
Once I came around from the operation I was able to go home and although I was uncomfortable I never experienced the kind of pain one would expect. Dr. Amar’s team checked in with me daily and I sent pictures, so he could monitor the progress. Day 3, I went to see him, and he was very pleased with the outcome. He had mentioned that patience would be key in the post operation process and staying positive. I decided not to fret and obsess in front of mirrors and to take this time to visualize my “new face” and all the things I wanted to do once it was healed. After all this was a new beginning. I had started a new adventure. My face on my terms.
I flew back to the US after 10 days- and continued my healing process. Dr. Amar and his team were completely available to me during all this time.
The initial swelling subsided after 3 weeks. 4 months in- I’m ecstatic. And I still have some way to go. My face looks younger- not that strange- pulled back- “done” look, but the way I looked 10 years ago! Dr. Amar had asked for pictures of my younger self to know what we were working towards- and he did it- AND improved it lol!! Every day I see small changes and improvements. My friends can tell- they are getting excited on my behalf lol!! My confidence is back. I look how I feel- and the camera loves it too lol!!
I feel such gratitude to have met Dr. Amar, it has changed my life. I would do it again in a heartbeat. The skill, integrity and precision make him not only a wonderful doctor but also a true artist.
