Purpose of the Amendment

This Amendment No. 3 ( “Amendment No. 3” ) to Schedule 14D-9 further amends and supplements the Schedule 14D-9 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( “SEC” ) on January 15, 2010, and as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on January 20, 2010 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on January 26, 2010 (the “Schedule 14D-9” ), by BioForm Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “BioForm” ). The Schedule 14D-9 and this Amendment No. 3 relate to the tender offer by Vine Acquisition Corp. ( “Offeror” ), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Merz GmbH & Co. KGaA, a limited partnership by shares formed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany ( “Parent” or “Merz” ), to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (collectively, the “Shares” ), at a purchase price of $5.45 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated January 15, 2010, and in the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which are filed as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), to the Schedule 14D-9, respectively.

Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the meanings given in the Schedule 14D-9. The information in the Schedule 14D-9 is incorporated into this Amendment No. 3 by reference to all applicable items in the Schedule 14D-9, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

Item 8 (Additional Information) of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by replacing the second paragraph under the caption “(h) United States Antitrust Compliance” with the following paragraph:

“Pursuant to the requirements of the HSR Act, each of Parent, on behalf of itself and Offeror, and the Company filed a Premerger Notification and Report Form with respect to the Offer and the Merger with the Antitrust Division and the FTC on January 19, 2010. The waiting period applicable to the purchase of shares in a cash tender offer, such as the Offer, is 15 calendar days from the date the Acquiring Person makes its filing except that if the waiting period terminates on a weekend or holiday, the waiting period is extended to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the following business day. The FTC or the Antitrust Division may terminate the waiting period sooner; the FTC or the Antitrust Division may also extend the waiting period by requesting additional information or documentary material relevant to the Offer from Parent and the Company. On February 2, 2010 we were informed by Parent that the FTC and the Antitrust Division granted early termination of the HSR Act waiting period applicable to the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer.”
