Describe me, I think it’s the hardest thing to do for those like me who work more with their hands than with words, but reflecting, after what has been my life up to now, I think there have been some threads that they imagined me to be the man and the professional I am today.
It is easy to say that since the first years of my life I have characterized a spasmodic curiosity: curious to see what is beyond the boundaries, physical and imaginative. Another feature of mine is to love manual work a lot, play piano during childhood and handle scalpels and precision instruments today. Unfortunately, youth was characterized by my mother’s illness and her death, in the first year of specialization. A breast tumor. What I wanted to be a doctor was already clear to me, that I would have chosen oncology, it was the direct consequence of family problems. I saw in the oncologist the one who more than others can save lives: I wanted to be the one who saved, but I did not want to deal with the breast. Then life sometimes plays some joke, and my first job was in a unit of senological and reconstructive surgery.
My sensitivity towards the feelings of women suffering from breast cancer meant that I also devoted myself to responding to the aesthetic aspects that play a fundamental role in the treatment of this disease by deepening the techniques of cosmetic surgery, oncoplasty and baldness. The constant desire to learn from the best institutions and my pursuit of perfection led me in 2013 to IEO in Milan, a city with which it was crazy love, at first sight.
Oncological surgery, however, is very trying, especially for those who have a life like mine. After 6 years dedicated to breast cancer, the proposal came to be a pioneer in Italy in a completely new area, less destabilizing from the emotional point of view, but equally stimulating professionally: the robotic hair transplant. I then left the hospital and dedicated myself solely to the free profession of medicine and cosmetic surgery and hair transplantation. Oncology, however, I have not abandoned it, it is my lucky charm, my passport, my link with the past. Now I’m practicing it only for charity. Tomorrow, who knows.
