Dott. Marco Salomone practises a branch of medicine that is often misunderstood. Many people imagine aesthetic surgery as a separate world, detached from health and driven only by appearance. He sees it differently. Aesthetic surgery is a branch of plastic surgery, and plastic surgery is a discipline in which form and function are inseparable: the way a part of the body looks influences how it works, how it feels and how a person relates to it. Starting from this conviction, his practice offers patients a medical, evidence-based approach to both reconstructive and aesthetic concerns, delivered with clarity, warmth and attention to detail. Whether someone arrives with a functional problem, a skin condition or a long-standing wish to change an aspect of their appearance, they receive the same careful assessment and the same respect.
Function and Form as One Discipline
The surgeon's training reflects this integrated vision. Dott. Marco Salomone graduated in Medicine and Surgery at a major Italian university in 2010 and completed his specialisation in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at the same institution in 2017. Those years of specialist training took place in a demanding university hospital environment, where reconstructive work after trauma, cancer and congenital conditions forms the core of daily activity. That foundation gave him a thorough understanding of anatomy, tissue behaviour and wound healing, which he now applies to every case in private practice.
Because he is trained in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, he can evaluate each concern from several angles. A patient seeking a cosmetic change may also have a functional issue worth addressing; a patient with a medical problem may appreciate a solution that also considers appearance. Treating the two dimensions together often leads to better, more satisfying results.
This perspective also shapes how he talks about outcomes. Rather than promising a perfect image, he focuses on improvements that will feel natural, function well and age gracefully. He explains how tissues change over time, how individual healing varies and why some refinements are best achieved gradually. Patients appreciate this realism, because it helps them make decisions they will still be comfortable with many years later, and because it builds the kind of trust that turns a single consultation into a long-term relationship with their surgeon.

Wellbeing in the Broadest Sense
The World Health Organization defines health not simply as the absence of disease, but as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing. Dott. Marco Salomone often refers to this definition when explaining his work, because it captures why aesthetic and reconstructive care matter. A visible concern can affect self-esteem, social life and even professional confidence. Addressing it thoughtfully can bring relief that extends well beyond the mirror.
That is why the first consultation focuses on the person as a whole. He asks not only what the patient would like to change, but also why it matters, how long it has been a source of discomfort and what they hope to feel afterwards. Medical history, lifestyle and expectations are discussed openly. When a request seems unlikely to improve wellbeing, or when the timing is not right, he says so honestly and may propose alternatives or simply suggest waiting.
This approach is particularly valued by patients who have hesitated for years before seeking advice. They find a doctor who listens without judgement, who explains things clearly and who considers their psychological comfort as carefully as their physical suitability. Many leave the first appointment with a clearer understanding of their own situation, even before any decision has been made, and that sense of clarity is often the first step towards feeling better.
• Assessment that considers physical, emotional and social wellbeing
• Open discussion of motivations and expectations
• Honest advice, including when not to proceed
• A respectful, judgement-free environment for every patient
Careful Hands for Skin Health
An important part of the practice is devoted to the surgical care of the skin. Moles, cysts, benign growths and skin tumours require precise diagnosis and careful treatment, both to protect health and to leave the least visible mark possible. Dott. Marco Salomone brings the same aesthetic sensitivity to these interventions that he applies to cosmetic work, planning incisions along natural skin lines and closing wounds with meticulous technique.
He also cares for patients whose scars, keloids or old wounds cause discomfort or embarrassment, as well as those with minor functional problems such as ingrown nails or a torn earlobe. These may seem like small issues, but for the people living with them they can be a daily source of irritation. Treating them with skill and attention is part of the practice's commitment to wellbeing in its broadest sense.
His experience with reconstruction after cancer surgery further reinforces this focus. Patients who have faced serious illness need a surgeon who understands both the clinical complexity and the emotional significance of restoring their body, and who can coordinate with other specialists involved in their care.

Clear Pathways from First Visit to Recovery
Patients appreciate knowing exactly what to expect, and the practice is organised to provide that clarity. Appointments can be booked online through established medical booking platforms, which makes it easy to find a convenient time. The first visit includes a full examination, a discussion of goals and a clear explanation of the available options, together with their benefits, risks, recovery times and costs.
When a procedure is agreed, the patient receives a written plan that covers pre-operative tests, the type of anaesthesia, the facility where the operation will take place and the follow-up schedule. Operations are performed in accredited facilities with experienced anaesthesia and nursing teams. After surgery, the same surgeon sees the patient at each check-up, monitors healing and remains available to answer questions as they arise.
Alongside his clinical work, Dott. Marco Salomone has taken on responsibilities as medical director of a multispecialty healthcare facility, a role that requires attention to safety protocols, quality standards and organisational efficiency. This experience strengthens the way his own practice is managed, from hygiene and documentation to communication with patients.
He sees adult patients in more than one studio in the north of Italy, which allows people to choose the most convenient location for consultations and follow-up. The main studio is easily reached by public transport and offers a calm, private environment, with comfortable consultation rooms and a welcoming reception that helps nervous patients feel at ease from the moment they arrive.

• Written plan with transparent costs before any procedure
• Accredited facilities and experienced surgical teams
• Follow-up always with the operating surgeon
• Management standards informed by a medical director role
A Modern Specialist with Traditional Values
Dott. Marco Salomone belongs to a generation of plastic surgeons trained in modern techniques and evidence-based medicine, yet his values are traditional in the best sense: honesty, discretion, personal responsibility and respect for each patient's choices. He stays up to date through courses, congresses and exchanges with colleagues, and he shares information with the public through his online channels to help people understand their options and recognise qualified specialists.
Discretion is a constant throughout. Medical records and photographs are handled confidentially, consultations take place in private rooms, and appointments are scheduled to avoid long waits. Patients are never pressured into decisions; instead, they are encouraged to reflect, to ask further questions and to return for a second conversation if they wish. This calm, respectful pace is one of the qualities patients mention most often when they recommend the practice to friends and family.
For patients considering reconstructive or aesthetic surgery in Italy, the practice offers a reassuring combination of thorough specialist training, attention to both function and appearance, a broad view of wellbeing and a clear, well-organised care pathway. International patients can begin with a remote consultation, sharing photographs and discussing goals before planning a visit. Every person who walks through the door is treated as an individual, listened to carefully and accompanied by one dedicated surgeon from the first question to the final follow-up appointment.
