Fat Placement

Hi Dr Lam, I read that you place fat in each layer of the skin and your explanation was very straight forward. I do have a question however about the mucle -- do you place Fat below the musle as well as the layer of skin ?

No, I do not do FAMI. I do not believe that FAMI holds well in most cases. (Fat Auto Muscle Injection). In fact, I saw a very experienced FAMI injector do a face that simply did not hold well until it was redone my way. I am not condemning a technique but for you to understand that I truly think it is not as effective a technique. I do not try to put fat in muscle.
