Formari is rooted in Latin: shape, reimagined. The name reflects a practice built on anatomical design — refined contouring informed by Renaissance principles of proportion, executed with the precision of contemporary surgical technology.
Formari Aesthetics is the Miami practice of Dr. Steven Gelb. The work is anatomical design, not trend — surgical planning rooted in a patient’s underlying structure, executed with high-definition contouring that still reads as natural.
Our patients arrive from across South Florida and from out of state. They tend to share one thing in common: a preference for results that feel considered rather than conspicuous. Refined, balanced, unmistakably their own.
Every plan begins with the patient’s underlying anatomy — skeletal frame, muscle insertions, fat compartments, and skin quality. Shape is engineered from the inside out, not imposed from the outside in. The goal is harmony with the structures already there, not a borrowed silhouette.
Formari draws from the Renaissance anatomist-artists who studied the body in layers and defined enduring principles of proportion, perspective, and balance. Those same principles are translated through contemporary surgical technique: high-definition contouring, refined transitions, and silhouettes that read as real.
We pair platforms such as HD VASER lipocontouring, Quantum RF skin tightening, and Aveli for cellulite with conservative judgment. Technology serves the plan — never the other way around. The right tool is the one that produces the most natural, durable result for that specific anatomy.
Patient safety drives every decision: case selection, anesthesia, intraoperative technique, and recovery pathway. We optimize for outcomes that age well — and for a recovery that is predictable, supported, and clinically monitored at every stage.
Each procedure is mapped to a single patient’s proportions, lifestyle, and goals. Markings, incision design, fat redistribution, and skin management are calibrated to the individual. The most beautiful results, in our experience, are the ones that read unmistakably as the patient’s own.
