September 2019
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in the MailOnline in a feature titled ‘Risk-free mouth-swab DNA test reveals if surgery patients are at risk of scarring badly after an operation’. Interviewed by Mail on Sunday Health Editor Barney Calman.
‘The idea is to offer this to patients before they choose to undergo an operation,’ said London-based plastic surgeon Mr Olivier Amar, the first to offer the test in the UK.
‘This way, we will be able to monitor the wound as it heals. If it looks like a raised keloid scar is developing, there are steps we can take to minimise the problem. Trying to tackle a keloid scar after it has developed is very difficult, and may involve further surgery.’
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in The Telegraph in a beauty feature about the golden rules that consumers should abide by when choosing treatment. Interviewed by health and beauty journalist Leah Hardy.
“Olivier Amar is a fan of needling with PRP, the so-called vampire facial, derived from a patient’s own blood.
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in the MailOnline in a feature titled “Cheat your way to skin as smooth as a baby’s: The New science of a perfect complexion”. Award-winning beauty journalist Alice Hart-Davis described her PRP treatment with Mr Olivier Amar.
An increasingly popular way of improving the texture of your skin is with injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — plasma taken from your own blood.
You may have heard this called a Dracula Facial or the Vampire Facelift.
Verdict: Impressive. A month later, the treated area looks softer, clearer and smoother.
Verdict: Impressive. A month later, the treated area of skin looks softer, clearer, and smoother. You are meant to do two or three sessions, six seeks apart, for best results
British writer, tv presenter and entrepreneur Liz Earle asked Mr Olivier Amar’s thoughts on the aging process of the face in relation to Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Olivier Amar says
“Woman who take HRT mainly want fillers and light rejuvenation procedures, menopausal woman are more inclined to request a facelift.”
We are delighted that Mr Olivier Amar was featured in the Tatler Beauty & Cosmetic Surgery Guide 2018 in a feature titled “How to get a six-pack”.
At the age of 32, after rigorous diet and exercise regimes achieved a 2-stone weight loss but not the desired six-pack, Matthew was told by his trainer that the only way he would be able to get rid of the loose skin around his stomach was with cosmetic surgery.
‘It was, in every sense, an astonishingly slick operation.
This is why you pay for a proper surgeon practising at a proper clinic with a proper team behind them. Believe me, I did my research and not everyone’s experience was as smooth as mine.’
Award winning journalist Kate Shapland described her reasons for opting for upper blepharoplasty surgery with Mr Olivier Amar. Featured in Red magazine in the masterclass section under droopy eyelids.
The most significant results are gained with surgery, as beauty journalist Kate Shapland found:
‘My eyelids had got very droopy, to the point where it was impossible to wear make-up and it was really ageing me.
So I opted for surgery with Olivier Amar at his Sloane Street Clinic. I was in for a morning and had a general anaesthetic (although sedation is an option). The initial swelling was shocking I won’t lie, the there was no bruising or pain. It took eight months to feel completely normal again, but it transformed my face and confidence’.

Mr Olivier Amar was featured in The Times in a feature titled “Look good for your age: What the experts swear by”. Interviewed by award-winning beauty journalist Alice Hart-Davis.
Look good for your age: What the experts swear by.
Improving skin quality :
“Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment (PRP), also known as the vampire facial, is growing in popularity. This involves plasma taken from a vial of your own blood being injected back into your face.”
“It sounds gruesome, but the growth factors in it make older skin act like younger skin and look better too.”
We are delighted that Mr Olivier Amar was featured in The Times in a feature titled “Meet the doctors behind the boom in male cosmetic surgery”.
Olivier Amar has a deep suntan from kitesurfing, offsetting his brilliant white teeth, and he fits Macron-neat in his dark blue suit. He is, like his father before him, a cosmetic surgeon at the top of his game. Amar treats actors, artists, footballers, financiers and – quelle surprise – politicians. (He won’t tell me of which persuasion – “confidentiality”) And they come for Botox, fat transfers, dermal fillers, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), “CoolSculpting” (cryolipolysis or fat freezing), liposuction, laser removal of thread veins, rhinoplasty (nose jobs) and gynecomastia (removal of “moobs”).
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in The Mail on Sunday’s Healthy Living section in the feature title – “Yes, you can get rid of your under eye bag”
“For a long-term solution Mr Amar says blepharoplasty, an eye-lift operation, is one of the most popular rejuvenation procedures for men and women.
It’s for people who want to look refreshed, as if they enjoy good sleep every night and are just back from a summer holiday.”
April 2017
The Sloan Magazine approached Mr Olivier Amar for his insight into “A Natural Approach to Aesthetics”.
Olivier Amar is one of the UK’s leading consultant plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgeons with more than 15 years’ experience. Here he discusses taking a natural approach to aesthetics.
We all age but it is how we age that is most important to me. Ageing does not happen evenly across the years, it can creep up on us. Perhaps you have been through life challenges, a bereavement or even sudden weight loss – and when it does happen, it can affect even the most beautiful person.
Mr Olivier Amar described the Platelet Rich Plasma treatment for The Sunday Times
For a smooth complexion add on Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP or the vampire facial.
A small amount of blood is drawn and then the platelet-rich plasma, which contains growth factors (the proteins and hormones that tell your skin to heal), is separated out in a centrifuge.After microneedling, this is injected back into your skin to promote collagen production and faster healing. You’ll be red for about a day.
A Quick Nick and Tuck by Josh Stephenson in Calibre magazine
‘Many men have a second life at around 50/60. They are starting a new life with a younger wife or they are having kids at an older age and they want to look after themselves.’
‘I wish I could speak to more men and make them less anxious about the cosmetic world as there are lots of different procedures.’
‘Behind the bandages: the facelift is 100 years old’
The facelift has transformed, through evolution and revolution, from the wind-tunnel effect of the early days to something that is barely detectable to the trained eye.
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in Good Housekeeping in a feature titled “How to get rid of eye wrinkles: Is surgery the only way to banish eye bags?”
‘Eye bags are an inevitable part of the aging process for all of us unfortunately,’ says Olivier Amar, a leading cosmetic surgeon who specialises in facial rejuvenation.
‘The muscles atrophy with age and don’t hold the tension as they used to so the fat bulges.’
Recently we had the pleasure of gracing the airwaves on a show called ‘The Inevitable’ on BBC Radio 4.
Interviewed by Patrick McGuiness. Join us at 12 minutes 30 seconds
We are encouraged to face the inevitable, bow to it, accept it. In this witty and personal exploration, the writer, poet, and professor of Modern Languages at Oxford University, Patrick McGuinness, delves behind the rhetoric to explore just what is inevitable.
Matt Jones from GQ explained his reasons for having a tummy tuck and described the procedure
Why I had an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
Dr Amar, whose patience and skill have been great, advised minimal tension, so abdominal exercises are limited to crunches with bent knees, but that six-pack is beginning to emerge.
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in The Huffington Post in a beauty feature about ‘how to get rid of under eye bags and dark circles’
In the FAMI technique, stem cells are collected from fat tissue and then injected into the face under local anaesthetic.
One of the pioneers of the treatment, and the surgeon who performed my procedure, Dr Olivier Amar from London’s Sloan Street Clinic, told HuffPost UK Style: “This is a minimally invasive procedure and much more effective and natural than using fillers.”
We are delighted that Mr Olivier Amar was featured in the Tatler BEAUTY & cosmetic SURGERY GUIDE 2015 in ‘Best for Eyes’ category. Interviewed by former beauty director of Tatler, Olivia Falcon.
Surgery is in Mr Amar’s blood – both his father and grandfather were well-respected surgeons. His father is the creator of the Fat Autograft Muscle Injection (FAMI) technique, a non-surgical facelift that uses stem cells harvested from the patient’s own fat.
Passionate and French (from sunny Marseille rather than frosty Paris), he’s suave yet serious, and has a very forward-thinking approach to tired eyes: he looks at the position of your eyebrows, the fullness of your temples and situation of your cheekbones to tighten muscles and restore volume.
Award-winning journalist Kate Shapland described her upper blepharoplasty procedure with Mr Olivier Amar
The effect is subtle but so profound that my entire face appears lifted. I can’t quite believe it, so have to keep checking it’s true in mirrors and shop windows.
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in the MailOnline in a beauty feature about fat transfer the face
After watching a TV programme about botched surgery (fat transfer was initially developed to correct cosmetic surgery mistakes), she booked in to see Dr Olivier Amar at his Sloan Street Clinic.
Before performing the neck and eyelid lift, Dr Amar made a fine incision into Sandra’s stomach to take the fat cells that were then purified and injected into her chin, neck and her eyes to contour and reshape her face. He estimates 100ml of fat was transferred – the size of a large perfume bottle.
‘Over ten years I might spend thousands of pounds on face creams that wouldn’t have nearly the same effect,’ says Sandra.
Mr Olivier Amar was featured in the Tatler BEAUTY & cosmetic SURGERY GUIDE 2012 in ‘Best for Liposuction’ category. Interviewed by former beauty director of Tatler, Olivia Falcon.
