Dr. Alfredo Callanta

If there is one lamp which guided Dr. Alfredo V. Callanta to achieve his aesthetic mission and vision, it is the lamp of his medical learning and experiences. Through the years, he has built a formidable reputation in fat grafting by using a combination of medical expertise, consummate skill, artistic vision, the latest state of the art techniques, and outstanding customer service. He has attended seminars in various parts of the globe – Germany, Brazil, USA, France, Italy, Thailand, Korea, Mexico, Australia, and a lot more; as a resource speaker, to share and to enlighten minds with his innovated FAMI™ Fat Grafting technique since 2005.

FAMI™ Fat Grafting is a technique, wherein, an individual’s own adult stem cells are being grafted by injection into the facial muscles of facial expression. For breast rejuvenation and fat grafting, Dr. Callanta was trained under Dr. Roger Khouri in Miami, Florida in 2009, who contributed to the innovations in liposuction and lipografting; and was the innovator of the BRAVA® Enhancement and Shaping System, this uses an external breast tissue expander followed by a large volume fat graft. As per Dr. Callanta, there is no other way to perfect these techniques than by first, learning them from the masters, and then honing them by doing it repeatedly.

Furthermore, Dr. Callanta is committed to achieving beautiful, natural-looking results with utmost safety for Asian patients, taking into consideration that Asians have a unique body shape, physique cultural characteristics, and unique demands on how they want to be enhanced as compared to Caucasians. Bringing in to patients a cutting-age technology which he acquired during his training outside the Philippines in the field of fat surgery and aesthetic medicine. He has built his practice on word-of-mouth referrals from his satisfied patients coming in from the USA, Spain, England, Australia, Japan, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Although Dr. Callanta has been trademarked to offer fat grafting in the Philippines, still he is continuously searching for breakthrough treatments, more effective products, and advanced technologies so that he may share it to his patients and educate them as well. Dr. Callanta and his professional staff see to it that every individual they meet shall get correct information that they are entitled to as he lives by the quote by Aristotle – “We are what we repeatedly do, excellence then is not an act but a habit.”
