Dr. Andrea Spano Plastic Surgeon
Internationally renowned plastic surgeon
Creator of new techniques of Aesthetic Surgery and Plastic Surgery and author of hundreds of scientific articles and book chapters on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, Andrea Spano is constantly invited as a guest in high-level international conferences and interviewed by national newspapers and TV.
For 15 years he was Director of the National Cancer Institute and then dedicated himself to Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine. Director of The Clinic, a prestigious clinic of medicine and cosmetic surgery in the center of Milan.
He has devised new techniques of cosmetic and plastic surgery and has performed more than 20,000 surgeries, taking care to leave as few scars as possible.
Expert in many procedures of breast cosmetic surgery such as breast augmentation and scarless breast lift, facial cosmetic surgery such as laser lifting, mini MACS lift and laser blepharoplasty, body cosmetic surgery such as new lipofilling techniques, mini abdominoplasty and skin surgery.
He is an ordinary member of SICPRE (Italian Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery), AICPE (Italian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and numerous international societies.
For those approaching the world of cosmetic surgery for the first time, they prefer to start rejuvenation with light laser techniques, microfocused ultrasound, medical radiofrequency and absorbable fillers. Beauty must be combined with harmony and naturalness.
The philosophy of the Breast Architect
« … The popularity of plastic surgery is something that pleases us but scares us at the same time.
Ordinary things become routine.”
No, I don’t believe it.
How can you think that redefining the body can become something routine, like going to buy bread every day?
Every need of yours, even the most common, is a challenge of complexity.
Like every desire.
Your wish.
I don’t presume to understand you in the time span of a visit but to start a project together.
Your project.
