“The body the patient brings to consultation is the result of years of life — pregnancy, weight loss, time, genetics. The operation we plan together is one chapter of a longer story, not its conclusion. The right plan is the one that respects what the body has already been through.”
— Dr. Stefano Di Nonno, Specialist in General Surgery

Background and Clinical Practice

Background
and clinical practice

Dr. Stefano Di Nonno is a Specialist in General Surgery, with a master’s in aesthetic surgery, at Istituto Chirurgico Palazzo Manzoni in Brescia, with a wide-scope clinical practice that spans body contouring, face surgery, breast surgery, dermatological surgery, hair-loss surgery, and aesthetic medicine. Within the team’s procedure map, he is the lead surgeon for liposuction and body surgery (abdominoplasty, gynaecomastia, fat grafting) and the principal performer of hair-restoration surgery (FUE and FUT); he co-performs breast procedures with Dr. Motta and face procedures with Dr. Motta and Dr. Salvagni.

Dr. Di Nonno is one of the three named authors of the Profilosalute “Bellezza” column corpus that the practice’s published clinical voice is built on, alongside Dr. Enrico Motta and Dr. Luana Salvagni. His hair-restoration specialism is recognised within the field for rigorous patient selection, the weight he gives to pre-operative diagnostics (trichoscopy, blood work), and his refusal to promise results that are not proportionate to a patient’s follicular density.

As the department’s hair-restoration specialist, Dr. Di Nonno performs FUE and FUT follicular-unit transplantation, with pre-operative diagnostic work-up as standard before any surgical plan.

Dr. Di Nonno’s published columns and his clinical practice share the same philosophy that runs through the department: restraint, anatomical precision, and an explicit refusal of the marketing pressures that have produced the field’s most-discussed safety problems. A consultation follows the same long, planning-led structure that defines the department — examination, photographic documentation, anatomical analysis, written plan, and the explicit consideration of non-surgical alternatives where they are the proportionate answer.

He emphasises:

Restraint over marketing

The operations he routinely declines — maximal-volume gluteal augmentation, hairlines drawn at the level of a 20-year-old self in a 50-year-old patient, body contouring in patients still in active weight loss — are part of the practice’s stated boundaries.

Diagnostics before surgery

For hair-restoration patients in particular, the diagnostic work-up comes first; surgery, when it is the right answer, comes second.

A written plan

Every consultation produces examination, photographic documentation, anatomical analysis, and a written plan you can take away.

Proportionate alternatives

Non-surgical alternatives are considered explicitly wherever they are the proportionate answer for your situation.
