Testimonials
I had the possibility to spend 3 months at Villa Bella Clinic under the supervision of Dr. Giovanni Botti who is an internationally renowned plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial aesthetic surgery. He is an enthusiastic teacher and a brilliant man. He explained me the principles, the technical aspects and the tricks of every single surgical procedure, generously sharing his knowledge during the entire period of my fellowship. I was involved primarily in facial aesthetic surgery, specially face lift, rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, brow lift and lipofilling; but also I had the opportunity to assist breast aesthetic surgery, such as breast augmentation, mastopexy and breast reduction.
It was a great learning experience that further expanded my knowledge and my professional perspective. Villa Bella is a modern and well-equipped clinic with two operating rooms. The staff is professional, dynamic and friendly, always making me feel very welcome to scrub and join the operations. I would also like to thank Dr. Chiara Botti, Giovanni Botti’s daughter, who is a great plastic surgeon too. Every day she kindly taught me the most advanced techniques and the state of the art in aesthetic plastic surgery. It is a one of a kind experience that definitely I would recommend to all my colleagues.
