Conveniently located in the Magnificent Mile overlooking Lake Michigan in the heart of downtown Chicago, we are easily accessible from anywhere in the world with numerous hotels within a block.
We are proud to offer complimentary in-person consultations at our Michigan Avenue office. We also offer convenient virtual video consultations for a small fee, which will be applied to your procedure.
To facilitate our out-of-state clients, BodyLuxe has developed a fly-in (or drive-in) program that makes the entire process easy.
We are located at 875 N Michigan Avenue, 36th Floor, Chicago, IL 60611, in the iconic skyscraper formerly known as the John Hancock Center. Our luxurious office offers breathtaking views of Chicago's skyline, Lake Michigan, and the North Shore, providing a serene and inspiring environment for your aesthetic journey. Easily accessible and situated in the heart of Chicago, we invite you to experience our state-of-the-art facility and exceptional care firsthand.
For both in-state and out-of-state clients, we are proud to offer a complimentary in-person consultation to help you begin your aesthetic journey with us. Our consultations are highly sought after, and we are pleased to provide this service as a courtesy.
We also offer virtual video consultations for a small fee of $50. The consultation price will be applied to the procedure and includes a free in-person visit.
Setting up a consultation with Dr Farrugia at BodyLuxe is easy and convenient. Simply click on the Consultation Form button on our website to begin your journey. You'll be prompted to provide some initial information so we can better understand your needs and preferences.
Thereafter, you will receive a link to complete your health questionnaire, which typically takes around 7 minutes. Completing the health questionnaire is a prerequisite to booking your consultation.
For In-Person Consultations: If you're within driving distance of Chicago, we highly recommend scheduling a complimentary in-person consultation at our office located at 875 N Michigan Avenue, 36th Floor, Chicago, IL 60611. This allows Dr. Farrugia to perform a comprehensive physical assessment and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique goals.
For Virtual Consultations: If you're an out-of-state patient, we offer virtual consultations via phone or video call for a small fee of $50. The consultation price will be applied to the procedure and includes a free in-person visit. Just indicate your preference when filling out the consultation form, and we'll arrange a time that fits your schedule. In order to book a virtual consultation, we require two photos of each body area of interest to be uploaded to your secure folder. You will receive an upload link by text and email.
Our team looks forward to assisting you on your aesthetic journey and providing exceptional care every step of the way.
If you prefer, we can schedule a high-tech virtual consultation from anywhere in the world. Dr. Farrugia will review your medical history and aesthetic objectives and present you with your full range of options. Your remote consultation is as thorough as an in-person consultation, providing you with the peace of mind that your surgery is personalized to your individual needs. After your in-person or virtual consultation, Dr. Farrugia will further evaluate your case. If you are a good candidate for surgery, a Patient Concierge will reach out to walk you through the next steps. This includes scheduling and preparing for your surgery, post-op care, financial terms, and more.
Of course. We do not book procedures without a pre-planned consultation with Dr Farrugia, whether in-person or virtually via video. A virtual consultation also entitles you to a complimentary in-person visit separate from the day of surgery. We can schedule your in-person consultation with Dr. Farrugia the day before your surgery or a few days before so that you have time to explore Chicago. During this visit, we will complete a physical evaluation, reconfirm your aesthetic objectives, and review your pre- and post-op instructions. This is also when you will review and sign your surgical consent forms. If you would like to defer this to the day of the procedure, you will still go through an unhurried consultation with Dr Farrugia to go over all aspects of your procedure and have all your questions answered.

We have you covered! Your health, safety, and aesthetic objectives are our top priority. A competent adult is required to assume responsibility for your care when leaving our facility. Because of this, we are not allowed to release you by yourself to take Uber or a cab ride. We recommend Freedom Home Care, a post-surgery transportation service that will transport you to your hotel and will stay with you how long you need them to. Please contact them directly at (847) 433-5788 to arrange transportation from our office to your hotel or home.
Your recovery process is as vital to your results as the surgery itself. The first few days are vital to ensuring your recovery is progressing as intended. If traveling by yourself, you can arrange to have Freedom Home Care transport you to your hotel. You will have our direct contact details and you are welcome to reach out to us with any concern right after you leave our premises. We will check with you the day after the procedure to answer any questions you may have. If you are staying longer than a couple days in Chicago, we will schedule a follow-up visit over the next 3 to 7 days to ensure that you are healing as intended before you return home. If you return home earlier, you will have a one week virtual (video) postoperative visit. After you return home, we will perform your remaining post-op appointments virtually. You will have a later 3 month and a 6 month postoperative visit, and we would like one of these visits to be done in-person. Dr. Farrugia and our nurses are accessible for both scheduled and unscheduled follow-ups. Reach out any time a concern arises.

Dr. Farrugia is an artist! Carved out an amazing snatched waistline! In our consultation he was kind, and honest about expectations. He did not use technical jargon and listened to my beauty goals. Day of procedure he was reassuring and efficient in his technique. I didn’t realize until after the procedure he goes by dr. Snatched on social media, and 1 month into my procedure I can see why, the proof is in the waistline he sculpted! He has a life long patient here and I cannot wait to work with him on my phase II beauty goals!
