Dott. Roberto La Monaca has built his career on a balance between two worlds: the structured, demanding environment of public hospital surgery and the personal, attentive relationship of private practice. In Italy, where he works as a plastic surgeon, this combination gives his patients the reassurance of hospital-level expertise together with the time and attention that only a dedicated private practice can offer.
His approach is grounded in respect. He respects patients' wishes, their concerns and their right to make informed choices. He also respects the limits of surgery, explaining clearly what can and cannot be achieved and never encouraging procedures that would not genuinely benefit the person in front of him.
Patients who meet him often comment on his calm manner and the clarity of his explanations. He takes time to describe each step, to show what results may realistically look like and to answer every question. This openness helps people approach important decisions with confidence and serenity.
Over the years, he has accompanied many patients through decisions that touched deeply on their comfort, health and self-image. Some came after years of physical discomfort, others after major life changes such as pregnancy or significant weight loss, and others simply wished to feel more at ease with their appearance. Each of them received the same careful attention, the same honest advice and the same commitment to safety.
A Hospital Specialist at Your Side
Dott. La Monaca serves as a medical director in the plastic surgery unit of a public hospital. This role exposes him daily to a wide range of cases, from routine to highly complex, and requires constant collaboration with other specialists. The experience gained in this environment shapes every aspect of his private work.
Hospital practice also instils discipline. Protocols for safety, hygiene and patient monitoring are followed rigorously, and every decision must be supported by clinical evidence. Patients in his private practice benefit from this same discipline, applied with the added attention that a personal relationship allows.
• Medical director in a public hospital plastic surgery unit
• Daily experience with a wide range of cases
• Rigorous safety and hygiene protocols
• Collaboration with other specialists
• Evidence-based decisions at every step
This background gives patients a strong sense of security. They know that their surgeon is accustomed to handling complex situations and that their care is guided by high professional standards.
The hospital environment also keeps him close to the realities of reconstructive work. Treating patients after illness or injury teaches deep respect for the body and for the emotional impact of physical change, a sensitivity that carries into every private consultation.
Working in a public hospital also means caring for people from every background and with every kind of need. This experience has given him a deep appreciation of the diversity of patients' stories and the importance of treating each person with equal dignity. In his private practice, this attitude translates into a welcoming atmosphere where nobody feels judged and everyone receives the time and attention they deserve.
Teaching and collaboration are part of daily hospital life as well. Discussing cases with colleagues and sharing experience with younger doctors keep his reasoning clear and his methods up to date, qualities that patients notice in the precision of his explanations.
Professional Affiliations and Ongoing Learning
Dott. La Monaca is a member of the Italian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the European Association of Aesthetic Surgery and the national association of surgeons dedicated to senology. These memberships reflect his commitment to ethical practice, continuous training and the sharing of knowledge with colleagues.
Participation in professional societies means staying informed about new techniques, research and safety guidelines. He evaluates innovations carefully, adopting only those that offer clear benefits for patients. This balanced approach ensures modern care without exposure to unproven trends.
• Member of the Italian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
• Member of the European Association of Aesthetic Surgery
• Member of the national senology surgeons association
• Commitment to ethical practice and continuous training

These affiliations also commit him to a code of ethics that values truthful communication, careful selection of candidates for surgery and respect for patient autonomy. Patients can therefore be confident that the advice they receive is guided by professional integrity and by their own wellbeing, never by commercial pressure.
He regularly attends congresses and courses, where he compares results with colleagues and learns about refinements in technique and safety. This continuous learning ensures that his patients benefit from current, proven methods.
Care Close to Home
To make his expertise more accessible, Dott. La Monaca sees patients in several cities. This network of practice locations allows people to attend consultations and follow-up visits without long journeys, which is particularly valuable during recovery when comfort and convenience matter most.
Wherever patients meet him, they find the same standards of care, the same attention to detail and the same personal follow-up. Records and plans are managed consistently, so continuity is never lost.
He also offers a dedicated discount through an agreement for eligible public employees, reflecting his wish to make high-quality care more accessible to people who serve the community.
• Consultations in several cities
• Consistent standards across all locations
• Convenient follow-up during recovery
• Dedicated discount for eligible public employees
• Continuity of records and plans
This flexibility is especially appreciated by patients who need several follow-up visits during recovery. Being able to attend a check-up close to home or work reduces fatigue and stress, making the whole experience smoother and more comfortable.
International patients can also count on practical guidance. He helps them plan the timing of consultations, procedures and follow-up so that their stay in Italy is efficient and that recovery is well underway before they travel home. After their return, they remain in contact with the practice for any questions.
Wherever the appointment takes place, patients are welcomed with courtesy and attention.
A Broad and Balanced Practice
His practice covers aesthetic surgery of the face and body, intimate surgery, dermatological surgery and aesthetic medicine. This breadth allows him to propose the most suitable solution for each patient, whether that means a surgical procedure, a minimally invasive treatment or simply reassurance that no intervention is needed.
Dermatological surgery, in particular, reflects his attention to health as well as appearance. Removing suspicious or troublesome skin lesions with precision and discreet scarring is an important service that patients appreciate deeply.
Aesthetic medicine complements surgery by offering gentle improvements with minimal downtime and by helping patients maintain results over time.
• Aesthetic surgery of the face and body
• Intimate surgery with discretion
• Dermatological surgery with discreet scarring
• Aesthetic medicine with minimal downtime
• Honest advice when no intervention is needed
Intimate surgery is approached with particular discretion. Patients often find it difficult to talk about concerns in this area, and he creates a respectful, confidential setting in which they can express themselves freely. Clear information and a calm, professional manner help them make informed choices without embarrassment.
His attention to function as well as appearance is evident throughout his practice. Many of the concerns patients bring to him affect daily comfort, posture, physical activity or hygiene, and he always considers these practical aspects alongside aesthetic goals. The result is care that improves quality of life as well as appearance.
