Cosmetic surgery and aesthetic medicine share a common goal: to beautify and rejuvenate the face. On the other hand, while cosmetic surgery sometimes involves incisions and overnight hospital stays, aesthetic medicine encompasses a range of non-surgical treatments.

Botulinum toxin or Botox for correction of frown lines and crow's feet.

Botulinum toxin or Botox works by blocking the facial muscles responsible for the appearance of crow's feet and frown lines. By relaxing the muscles, Botox ® injections smooth facial features.

Cervicofacial lift and facial rejuvenation

By reshaping the oval of the face and the chin, sagging skin is effectively corrected. Excess skin and fatty deposits on this part of the face are eliminated by lifting the skin and facial muscles.

Face and/or neck mini-facelift

As with a conventional facelift, mini-lifting removes excess skin and fat, and restores muscle tension. On the other hand, the surgical procedure is gentler and less invasive than a conventional facelift.

Non-endoscopic temporal lift

The temporal lift acts between the frontal and cervico-facial regions. Although the temporal lift can be performed in isolation, it is often combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to rejuvenate the face.

Blepharoplasty or eyelid rejuvenation

Blepharoplasty is a surgical technique designed to rejuvenate the eyes by correcting sagging, excess skin and excess fat on the lower and/or upper eyelids.

Lipofilling or facial lipomodelling

Lipofilling is a surgical procedure involving the transfer of autologous fat from one area of the patient's body to another, to give the latter more volume. Little volume is required for facial lipostructure.

Rhinoplasty and ethnic rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure that corrects the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nose, by remedying breathing difficulties (functional rhinoplasty) or reshaping the nasal pyramid (aesthetic rhinoplasty).

Correction of protruding ears (otoplasty) or split earlobes

Otoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the ears by reshaping the auricles.

Facial fillers, Hyaluronic acid and Mesotherapy for the face

Naturally present in the body, hyaluronic acid is valued in aesthetic medicine for its volumizing properties, which fill in areas of the face that have become hollow over time. In addition to rejuvenating the face, negative emotions are erased, leaving room for more positive expressions.

Increase or decrease in lip volume

With age, lips become thinner and dehydrated. In a single session of hyaluronic acid injections, lips are plumped and reshaped. Lips can also be plumped by lipofilling.

Facial peeling

A peel is a chemical exfoliation of the skin to correct fine lines, acne, pigmentation spots and uneven skin tone.

Dr Santini offers a range of aesthetic procedures to improve the appearance of the figure.

Traditional liposuction and high-definition liposuction with Vaser

Breast reduction surgery

Breast reduction surgery reduces breast volume by removing excess skin and glandular tissue.

Breast reconstruction surgery

• Breast malformations: agenesis, tuberous breasts, breast asymmetry, invaginated or umbilicated nipples.

Breast deformities can be the source of serious complexities. Procedures such as breast prosthesis insertion, breast lipofilling, mastopexy breast lift, male gynecomastia, umbilical nipple surgery and breast reconstruction effectively correct these imperfections.

• Breast reconstruction after mastectomy (removal of the breast)

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy restores a pink, supple areola. The breast regains its natural appearance and the femininity that characterizes it.

• Breast reconstruction with prosthesis or flaps (Grand Dorsal or DIEP)

Flap breast reconstruction uses your own tissue, displaced from your abdomen or back, to reconstruct your breast. This is known as autologous reconstruction.

• Lipostructure of reconstructed breasts after mastectomy.

Repair of the after-effects of breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy, etc.)

• Reconstruction of the nipple-areolar plate

FUE transplant without visible scars

FUE grafting involves harvesting single grafts from follicular units in the donor area. The results obtained are natural and offer more density to the hair, without leaving any traces.

FUT or strip grafting

By taking a strip from the scalp, the number of grafts harvested is around 2,500 per session, depending on the density of the hair. This technique offers a natural result by treating large areas affected by baldness.

Skin tumors and scar correction

Skin tumors are spots or outgrowths of the skin that vary in shape, size and color. These are removed by your plastic surgeon through surgical excision.

Hyaluronic Acid Injections

A molecule naturally present in the body, hyaluronic acid injected in aesthetic medicine is biocompatible and presents no risk of allergy.

Over time, lips become dehydrated and thinner, revealing fine wrinkles around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid injected into the lips plumps them up and reduces the appearance of surrounding wrinkles.

Volume enhancement of cheekbones by hyaluronic acid injection

Over time, cheekbones lose their relief. An injection of hyaluronic acid enhances and reshapes cheekbone volume.

Correction of dark circles with hyaluronic acid injections
