Dr. Riccardo Villani approaches plastic surgery with a combination of precision, responsibility and respect for each patient's individuality. His practice in Italy is built on the conviction that aesthetic and reconstructive surgery must be performed with the same rigour, and that every patient deserves honest information, careful planning and attentive follow-up.
His practice is centred on one specialist who personally guides every patient. This continuity creates a relationship based on trust: the surgeon who listens to concerns is the same person who plans and performs the procedure and monitors recovery. Patients appreciate this clarity and the sense of being known and understood.
Responsible communication is another hallmark of his work. The content published on his website has been reviewed and approved by his provincial medical board, ensuring that information is accurate, balanced and compliant with professional ethics. This attention to transparency reflects a broader respect for patients and their right to make informed choices.
His goal is always balance. He seeks results that look natural, suit the patient's features and remain harmonious over time. Exaggerated changes have no place in his practice, because he believes that the best aesthetic outcome is one that enhances individuality and helps people feel more confident without drawing unwanted attention.
Patients who meet him often notice his calm manner and the time he dedicates to explaining every detail. He believes that understanding builds confidence, and that confident patients make the choices that are right for them.
Every plan begins with understanding the person, their goals and their concerns, and ends only when the patient is fully satisfied with the outcome and comfortable in daily life.
A Specialist With Defined Expertise
Dr. Villani is a medical doctor specialised in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. Over the years he has developed particular expertise in a few key areas while maintaining a broad competence across facial, body and reconstructive work. This combination allows him to manage both routine and complex cases with confidence.
He also practises skin oncology surgery, removing moles and skin tumours with attention to both medical safety and cosmetic outcome. This work requires precision and a deep understanding of skin healing, skills that enrich his aesthetic practice as well.

Focus brings refinement. By concentrating on specific areas, he has developed detailed knowledge of anatomy, technique and recovery in those fields, which allows him to plan with precision and anticipate challenges. At the same time, his broader training ensures that he can address related concerns within the same plan, offering patients a coherent and complete approach.
He keeps his skills current through continuous professional development, following new research and techniques and adopting innovations only when they are supported by evidence and offer clear benefits for patients. This balance between curiosity and caution ensures modern, safe care.
Patients benefit from this expertise through precise planning, careful execution and results that look refined and natural.
His reconstructive training also gives him a solid understanding of how tissues heal and how scars evolve. This knowledge informs every aesthetic plan, helping him choose incisions and techniques that leave the most discreet marks possible.
Approved, Accurate Information
In a field where online information is often exaggerated or misleading, Dr. Villani has chosen a different path. His website's content has been approved by his provincial medical board, confirming that it meets professional standards of accuracy and ethics. Patients can therefore read about procedures and options with confidence that the information is reliable.
This commitment continues in the consultation room. He explains possibilities and limits honestly, discusses risks openly and helps patients set realistic expectations.
• Website content approved by the medical board
• Accurate, ethical patient information
• Honest explanation of possibilities and limits
• Open discussion of risks
• Realistic expectations from the start
He believes that informed patients make better decisions. For this reason, consultations include clear explanations of how each procedure works, what recovery involves and how results develop over time. Patients are encouraged to ask questions and to take time before deciding, so that every choice is made calmly and consciously.
This honesty sometimes means advising against a procedure or suggesting a less invasive alternative. Patients value this candour because it shows that their wellbeing comes before any other consideration.
Pricing is discussed openly as well, so patients understand the costs involved before committing to any plan.
Every claim he makes is grounded in evidence and experience, never in marketing.
Surgery in the Right Setting
Dr. Villani performs procedures both in his own practice and in partner clinics, choosing the setting according to the type of intervention and the patient's needs. Partner facilities are equipped for surgery and staffed by experienced anaesthesia and nursing teams, ensuring safety and comfort.
Patients are informed in advance about where their procedure will take place, how long it will last and what their recovery will involve. This preparation helps them arrive calm and confident.
• Procedures in own practice and partner clinics
• Setting chosen according to each intervention
• Experienced anaesthesia and nursing teams
• Clear information before every procedure
• Safe, comfortable surgical environments
Before every procedure, he reviews the patient's general health and medical history and requests any tests needed. When conditions are not ideal, he prefers to postpone rather than proceed. This responsible attitude protects patients and reflects his belief that safety must always come first, ahead of convenience or scheduling.
After discharge, patients receive written instructions for home care, including advice on rest, activity, garments and wound care, along with direct contacts for any concern that may arise.
Patients appreciate knowing that their surgeon will be present and personally responsible from preparation to discharge. This continuity removes uncertainty and allows them to focus on resting and healing, confident that their care is in experienced hands.
Personal Attention Throughout
Every patient journey begins with careful listening. Dr. Villani takes time to understand what the patient wants to change, why it matters and what they expect from treatment. He examines carefully and proposes a plan tailored to their anatomy and goals.
After the procedure, he follows each patient personally, monitoring healing and answering questions. Patients can reach the practice easily by phone or email whenever they need guidance.
• Attentive listening at every consultation
