A path that began in the operating theatre, alongside those who led the way

My training in intimate and gender-affirming surgery comes from 12 years of hands-on experience alongside Prof. Renato Marten Perolino — a urologist and plastic surgeon who was the first to take me under his wing, in a mentorship that went far beyond technical assistance. We worked together at Villa Maria Pia Hospital and, in private practice, at Clinica Fornaca and Clinica Cellini in Turin.

He taught me male-to-female gender-affirming surgery, passing on not only the technique but the rigour and sensitivity needed for surgical journeys so delicate and so life-changing.

During those years, Prof. Perolino entrusted me — as lead surgeon — with implant breast augmentation for all of his patients undergoing gender transition: a responsibility given to me only after I had demonstrated the necessary competence, and a fundamental part of my surgical growth in this field.

I then completed my training internationally with Prof. José Guerrero Santos in Guadalajara, Mexico, and with Prof. Andrew A. Jacono in New York, where I learned the Deep Plane facelift technique.

Besides functional and aesthetic intimate medicine and surgery, for both women and men, I perform Deep Plane facelifts, blepharoplasty, liposculpture and fat grafting, breast surgery and body contouring.
