Dr Alessandro Gallo and Dr Antonello Mele, are Consultants in Plastic Surgery. They established their clinic, Megaestetic, in 2003 after training at the same university hospital. Megaestetic is a more of a concept, than an idea.
From the outset, Dr Gallo and Dr Mele have shared a keen interest in the close link between physical appearance and emotional well-being, and the study of just how this connection impacts a person's self-esteem. At Megaestetic, one of the key principles of plastic reconstructive and cosmetic surgery (as well as aesthetic medicine) is to create harmony between the body and the mind. This notion provides a stark contrast to unrealistic beauty 'ideals' promoted by the media. The team of surgeons at Megaestetic takes great care in listening to and understanding patients.

A growing number of psychologists and psychiatrists are recommending surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments for patients who struggle with self-image. Furthermore, nowadays, more and more people recognise these treatments as just another opportunity to invest in themselves. Plastic surgery offers life-enhancing benefits, by using a multitude of innovative techniques designed to enhance both physical appearance and self-esteem. The social and cultural, and psychological elements are at the core of Megaestetic's concept, i.e. plastic surgery is a remedy for the body, the mind and subsequently the spirit. Dr Gallo and Dr Mele adopt a highly-professional approach to enhance emotional and physical balance as far as possible, and guide patients toward accepting the limits of natural beauty. The search for balance is a fundamental part of Dr Gallo and Dr Mele's work, and surgeons like them, who have chosen to avoid a commercial approach to this profession, and prefer to focus exclusively on improving patient self-image and confidence.

This website aims to offer patients, or anyone curious about the plastic surgery industry, additional information to the in-office consultation. The information on this site does not in any way substitute a thorough medical-surgical evaluation. However, it provides a clear and effective sample of Dr Gallo and Dr Mele's concept, and their day-to-day practice using a variety of advanced surgical and non-surgical treatments to achieve balanced, natural results.
