Dr. Farrugia is a Miracle Worker!!

I truly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for Dr. Farrugia. I came to him at only 110 lbs, worried there wouldn’t be enough fat for a successful BBL. So many people doubted that I’d be able to get real, noticeable results — but Dr. Farrugia proved them ALL wrong. Not only did he give me a beautiful, natural-looking shape, but he gave me the body I’ve always dreamed of — and I never thought that would be possible for someone as petite as me. One of the things I was most self-conscious about were my extremely deep hip dips — and when I say deep, I mean severely noticeable. But somehow, he filled them in flawlessly. He sculpted them into smooth, curvy lines that made my silhouette not just proportional, but downright stunning and attractive. I never thought I’d love my side profile this much! He’s not just a surgeon — he’s an artist. Every curve was sculpted with precision and care. I felt seen, heard, and completely safe in his hands from start to finish. His eye for detail, calm confidence, and gentle bedside manner made the entire experience even more comforting. If you’re considering a fat transfer BBL and feel like your size might be a limitation — don’t count yourself out. If anyone can make it happen, it’s Dr. Farrugia. He made a miracle happen for me, and I’ll be forever thankful for his talent and dedication!! :,)

Best Doctor to Go to for Cosmetic Procedures

Dr.Farrugia is the best in the game when it comes to surgery and sculpting you to get the body of your dreams. I've been insecure about the fat in my stomach since teenagehood and it didn't matter how hard I worked out, the fat was never disappearing. I felt stuck in the body I had and went to other consultations for liposuction to remove the fat on my stomach but it never felt quite right. When I booked my consultation with Dr. Farrugia he explained everything throughly, told me exactly how he's going to execute it and how snatched I'll be. He delivered above and beyond my expectation and I'm so grateful for the results (even while I'm 3 months post-op), minimal downtime, beautiful office/staff. I can now feel confident in my own body after years of discomfort and insecurity. There's no better doctor than one who cares about you holistically and Dr. Farrugia does that. I can't thank him enough for a better and confident version of myself. Don't look any further than Dr. Farrugia! You won't be disappointed.

Wish I had done this sooner

I had fat transfer to the breast with the fat being taken from my abdomen, it’s been 3 months and I’m really pleased with the results. After breastfeeding my 3 children my breast were very deflated and this procedure gave them life again. I love that I was awake for the procedure and the recovery wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, I was fully up and back to almost normal after a couple weeks. It was totally worth it and I received great care from my doctors and nurse.

Upper and Lower Abdomen - procedure was straight forward

Dr. Farrugia and the nursing staff were amazing. Walked me through everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. The procedure was straight forward and though it was a bit painful, the preemptive medications really helped. I’m a week post op but feeling good!!!

My waist is snatched and looking great

Amazing results at month 3! My waist is snatched and looking great. No regrets on the procedure, except for maybe opting for j plasma but considering getting that added to my next procedure. Dr. F is amazing, kind and great bedside manner

Totally worth it! New life long patient

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!
