Dr. Salvatore Farruggio - or as the board certified plastic surgeon's New York City and Connecticut patients call him, "Doctor Sal" - offers facial sculpting, body contouring, breast enhancement and medical spa services to men and women from two conveniently located Profiles & Contours offices, including one on 800 Fifth Avenue in New York City and the other in Connecticut on 605 West Avenue.
Regardless of whether he's performing liposuction in New York or a tummy tuck in Connecticut, Dr. Farruggio's goals are the same as those of the patients he serves: a safe and successful outcome. At the same time, the New York plastic surgeon understands that not all patients are the same - that each is an individual with a unique story and concerns. So, during consultations, he not only takes the time to hopefully bond with his patients, but because he also believes that the best relationships are those built on trust, takes a direct and honest approach.
Ultimately, Dr. Farruggio wants his patients to be happy, both with him and with the results of their plastic surgery.
Dr. Farruggio graduated from Monsignor Farrell High School on Staten Island in New York before attending Villanova University where in 1983, he graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science/Biology degree. While at Villanova, he was a member of the Alpha Epsilon Delta Pre-Medical Honor Society, as well as the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.
In 1984, Dr. Farruggio attended New York Medical College in Valhalla, where in 1988 he earned his Doctor of Medicine degree. For the next five years, he performed his General Surgery Residency at the Westchester County Medical Center, also in Valhalla. He then completed his training in plastic surgery at the University of Oklahoma, ultimately fulfilling his plastic surgery fellowship - including cosmetic surgery training - at New York City's Lenox Hospital.
Dr. Farruggio is licensed in the states of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, and is a member of the American Medical Association, as well as the New York Medical College Surgical Society. Additionally, the board certified plastic surgeon is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons.
