MD. Egidio Riggio

Since 1989, I have dedicated my post-graduate professional life to the study and treatment of both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. From 1990 onwards, I have exclusively performed plastic surgery operations, with a strong emphasis on innovation and research. My expertise has been internationally recognized, and my biography was featured in "Who's Who in the World" from 1999 to 2001. In Milan, I conduct plastic surgery procedures in both day-hospital and hospitalization settings, and I proudly serve as the Medical Director of the plastic surgery complex at the National Cancer Institute, a renowned global research and treatment institution. My extensive experience includes hospital training in plastic surgery, along with valuable work in cosmetic surgery both in Milan and abroad.

Throughout my 25-year professional career, I have performed over 6000 surgeries, including Aesthetic Surgery in private health facilities, Reconstructive Surgery in public health institutions, and breast cancer treatments (Senology). Currently, I hold the position of Plastic Surgeon Manager with a high specialization assignment at the IRCCS Foundation of the National Cancer Institute. Moreover, from 2008 to 2015, I served as a Breast Plastic Surgeon Consultant for general surgery breast surgery, contributing to over 800 breast reconstruction operations at the breast surgery complex unit during that period.

I graduated from the University of Palermo in 1989 and began my training in Plastic Surgery at the University of Milan's S. Donato Hospital in 1990. I also served as a medical officer in the Army Medical Corps and participated in the IBIS mission in Somalia. In 1994, I achieved the Specialist Diploma in Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery from the University of Milan. Over the years, I have worked as a Surgeon Specialist, Plastic Surgery Fellow, and Researcher at the National Cancer Institute in Milan. Since 2000, I have been the 1st level Medical Director in Plastic Surgery at the National Cancer Institute Foundation. Additionally, I work as a freelance plastic and aesthetic surgeon in various cities, and from 2009, I hold a highly specialized managerial position in facial reconstructive surgery at the National Cancer Institute Foundation in Milan.
