Regenerative Medicine: from growth factors to stem-cell injection

Professor Max is a distinguished plastic surgeon and the head of the Regenerative Medicine Department at ECAMS. He graduated with honors in 1992 from Milan University, where he wrote a thesis on surgical correction of intersexual genitalia. In 1997, he specialized in Reconstructive Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at Pavia University, focusing on complications in breast augmentation surgery. He spent most of his specialization period in the USA and Israel, honing his skills in genital surgery and breast surgery.

Since 1998, he has been in charge of Genital Plastic Surgery and Breast Reconstruction Surgery, as well as tissue rejuvenation surgery using lipofilling, PRP, and stem cells. He regularly collaborates with several hospital wards on a range of issues, including breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, genital malformations, and correction of complications after uro-gynecologic surgery.

He is also a reference point for the Italian Association of Plastic Surgeons and is also a member of ASPS, ISAPS, and ISPRES. He is a visiting professor of genital surgery at the universities of Milan and Nimes Montpellier (Fr). In the field of genital surgery, he has been invited as a guest speaker and travelling professor for over 10 years and asked to perform operations during international courses and congresses.

Professor Max has published many scientific papers and co-written five books, including the chapter about fatty tissue and genitals in Sydney Coleman’s book about lipofilling and tissue rejuvenation, which is considered a milestone in the field. He has also extensively used lasers and state-of-the-art technology in his practice. He performs aesthetic medical treatments using tissue rejuvenation or simple filling procedures and also uses fatty tissue in minimally invasive preparations (nano- and ultrananofatgraft) and PRP.

He is an expert in hyaluronic acid and botulin and is often invited to teach on that matter. With over 8,000 surgical operations certified in the public healthcare system, Professor Max is a leading expert in regenerative medicine, aesthetic and functional genital surgery, and breast reconstruction.
