FormSculpt® is a precise minimally invasive approach to fat removal performed under local anesthesia so you’re comfortably awake – helping you avoid risks associated with general anesthesia and typically allowing a quicker return to daily life.
We focus on natural‑looking, proportionate results in a calm, luxury spa‑like boutique setting.
Unlike national liposuction chains, you’ll see your surgeon for your consultation, procedure, and your 3‑ and 6‑month follow‑ups. We’re accountable for your care every step.
FormSculpt® uses patented technology to allow precise maximum awake fat removal and fat transfer with the least downtime. Our awake minimally-invasive procedures allow you to heal quickly with minimal bruising, tighter skin, and exact results.

FormSculpt® uses a patented minimally-invasive technology that avoids needles and scalpels while awake, gives a smooth result and allows faster recovery and return to daily activities.
Our advanced approach uses a combination of infrasonic vibrations and a rotating cannula to gently and efficiently remove unwanted fat. The infrasonic vibrations reduce trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in less pain, minimal bruising, and a quicker recovery time
The precise fat removal achieved with our technology leads to smoother contours and more natural-looking results.
Our fat removal, skin tightening and fat transfer procedures require only local anesthesia, enhancing patient safety and comfort during the procedure and faster recovery.

We will only do what's right for you. We don't have quotas to fill for the month and we don't need to please investors or shareholders.
We pride ourselves on delivering natural results where friends and family will ask what gym you joined rather than who your surgeon was.
If it's important to you, it's important to us.
I absolutely love Dr Farrugia. I was a bit nervous because you're up during the procedure but I felt no pain. My surgery went by smoothly! Dr Farrugia did exactly what I wanted and I'm only 1 week post op and loving my results!!!
