Complimentary Consultation Overview
About the Consultation Process
Our Free Virtual Consultation Process flows easily and can be easily performed on your mobile device or your computer.
We start by verifying your mobile phone number by sending you a code to ensure your privacy and security. We proceed to an introductory questionnaire where we learn about how we can help and you tell us your expectations. Once this form is complete, we will send you a link to both your email and phone to fill in the medical history form. We will also send a link to your secure folder where you can send us photos of your areas of interest and any documents you wish to send us. You can skip sending photos if you opt for an in-person consultation instead.
You can rest assured our forms are HIPAA secure and your images will only be seen by our trusted staff. Once we receive your medical history and photos, Dr Farrugia will contact you within 3-5 days to review your goals and provide more information. It’s as simple as that!
Most procedures start at approx. $6,000. Are you interested in applying for financing to break up your procedure price into low monthly payments over one or two years? Check out your monthly payment with our partner PatientFi’s payment calculator. We also accept CareCredit.
Upload 3 Views of Each area of Interest
Taking & Uploading Photos
- Choose an Appropriate Space: Find a well-lit area with natural, diffused light if possible, avoiding harsh, direct light or flash. The background should be plain and in contrast to your skin tone. An uncluttered space allows for better evaluation of your images.
- Choose Appropriate Clothing: Wear minimal clothing to fully expose the area of interest, such as a two-piece swimsuit, or your bra and underwear. If interested in a breast procedure, please take photos from the front and sides with no bra.
- Hair-do. For face and neck photos, pull back your hair so your entire face is visible. If you have long hair, please tie it when taking photos of the upper body.
- Camera Positioning: Position the camera so it’s level with the part of the body you’re photographing. The camera should be held steady to avoid blurring. Have someone else take the photos if possible.
- Maintain a Standard Distance: Keep the camera at a consistent distance from the body. This provides a clear, consistent perspective in all shots.
- Multiple Angles: Capture the area of interest from different angles. For each body area, this means a front view, left profile, right profile, and a 3/4 view from both sides.
- Neutral Expression and Posture: For facial photographs, maintain a relaxed, neutral facial expression. For body photographs, stand straight with your arms slightly away from your body. Do not flex, pose, or twist.
- No Filters or Edits: Please avoid applying any digital filters or editing the photos in any way, as this may interfere with your surgeon’s ability to accurately assess your condition.
- High Resolution: Ensure the pictures taken are high resolution for better detail.

Once we have reviewed your medical history and your photographs, we will contact you to schedule your virtual consultation at a time that is convenient for you.
Scheduling the Consultation
- Scheduling: You will receive a booking link where you will be able to select a suitable date and time for the consultation.
Meeting Link: Once the date and time is confirmed, you will receive a meeting invitation link through email. This email will also contain information about how to join the meeting. We use Zoho Meeting to conduct the consultation. You can download the secure app on your phone on both Apple and Android devices. The link for download will be in the emails. You can also use Zoho Meeting in any web browser as long as you have a web cam attached to your computer.
Preparing for Your Consultation
List Your Questions and Concerns: Before your consultation, whether virtual or in-person, make a list of any questions or concerns you may have. This will ensure that you remember to discuss all relevant points with Dr. Farrugia.
Prepare Your Medical Records: If you have any existing medical records that may be relevant to the procedure, it would be best if you could scan them before the consultation and upload them to your private folder so that we can review them prior to your consultation so that we can advise you effectively.
Conducting the Virtual Consultation
Prepare Your Space: Choose a quiet, well-lit room for the consultation to ensure privacy and a good video quality. Ensure your internet connection is stable.
Access the Meeting: Click on the Zoho Meeting link at the scheduled time to join the meeting. You may need to download the Zoho Meeting application or plugin, depending on your device.
Video and Audio Check: Once you’ve joined the meeting, please check your video and audio settings to make sure everything is working correctly. Our clinic staff can assist you with any technical difficulties.
Consultation: During the consultation, we will discuss your goals, concerns, and medical history in more detail. We’ll also provide an initial assessment of the possible procedures and outcomes. We will discuss potential surgical options, risks, benefits, and a preliminary cost estimate, as well as the proposed next steps.
Questions and Answers: Feel free to ask any questions you have about the procedure, recovery, costs, or any other aspect of the surgery. We want to ensure you have all the information you need to make an informed decision.

In-Person Meeting with Dr Farrugia
An in-person consultation accomplishes the same goals as a virtual consultation, with the added benefit of an in-person physical exam instead of relying on photos.
Even if you proceed with a virtual consultation, Dr Farrugia will still examine you the day of surgery where you will have the opportunity to go over the points that were discussed during the virtual consultation, and ask any question about the indications, benefits, risks and alternatives of the procedure.
Preparing for the In-Person Consultation
List Your Questions and Concerns: Before coming in for your consultation, make a list of any questions or concerns you may have. This will ensure that you remember to discuss all relevant points with Dr. Farrugia.
Bring Your Medical Records: If you have any existing medical records that may be relevant to the procedure, bring these with you to the consultation.
During the Consultation
Initial Discussion: Dr. Farrugia will start with a general discussion about your aesthetic goals, concerns, and lifestyle. This is an opportunity for him to understand what you hope to achieve with plastic surgery.
Medical Examination: Depending on the procedure you’re interested in, Dr. Farrugia may perform a physical examination of the relevant area(s). This allows him to better assess your suitability for the procedure.
Procedure Discussion: Dr. Farrugia will then discuss in detail the potential procedure(s) that could help you meet your goals. This includes discussing the benefits, risks, possible outcomes, and alternatives.
Question and Answer Session: Dr. Farrugia will provide time for you to ask any questions you may have. Remember, no question is too minor or insignificant. It’s important to fully understand what to expect.
Next Steps: If you decide to proceed, Dr. Farrugia will explain the next steps, which may include further tests, scheduling the procedure, pre-operative preparation, and recovery expectations.
We are committed to ensuring your consultation is a comfortable and informative experience. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team if you have any further questions.
