Michele Zocchi, MD, PhD, Prof.

Regenerative, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery

Associate Professor
Regenerative, Plastic, and Reconstructive Surgery
Turin /Padua - ITALY

Professor Michele Zocchi, who graduated in Medicine and Surgery in Turin in 1978, moved to the United States and France, and there he completed his training course, achieving the specialties in Cranio-Facial Surgery and in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery. He has a Ph.D. in Bio-Physics.

He has worked with clinical assistance and research tasks in the most prestigious world institutes, mainly in Brazil, Spain, France and the United States, frequently returning to Italy. From the early 2000s until today he has held and currently holds teaching and teaching positions at the University of Padua while developing an intense private professional activity.

The scientific relationship with prestigious Research Institutes currently continues and, starting from 2015, has consolidated important collaborations with the University of Sciences of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam (VNU), coordinating important research projects in the field of regenerative sciences and carrying out intense didactic activity.

The Professor focused his professional interest above all in the field of body remodeling, developing the innovative technique of Ultrasonic Lipoplasty, which allows the circumferential removal of large volumes of adipose tissue in a single surgical session.

Furthermore, he has made a fundamental contribution in the research and development of other innovative methodologies and new surgical protocols, inventing and perfecting related instrumentations.

PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
Prof. Zocchi is, at the present time, recognized as one of the most prominent professional figures worldwide for breast and body-contouring surgery and one of the World Pioneers in the field of Regenerative Surgery and Adipose Tissue Derived Stem Cells related Technologies. He gave a fundamental contribute to research and development of new surgical techniques inventing and perfecting all the related instruments. Among others:
  • The Autologous Collagen
  • The Ultrasonic Assisted Lipoplasty (U.A.L.) for Large Volume and circumferential body contouring.
  • The Bi-compartmental Breast Lipostructuring (B.B.L.S.) for breast augmentation and reconstruction using Adipose Tissue only.
  • The Lipocondensation and the Enriched Fat Grafts (E.F.G.) for ensuring better and long lasting results in fat grafting.
  • The Adipose Derived Stem Cells (A.D.S.C.)
  • The Acellular Adipose Matrix (AAM) a "ready to use" Adipose Derived Regenerative component.
  • The Bio-Active Composite Therapies for ensuring highest cellular intake and differentiation adapted to different clinical needs and anatomical areas.
  • The REMIX REGENERATION® Tutorial Platform for teaching worldwide the newest Regenerative Technologies.
  • LIPOSAVER 2000: the newest ultrasonic generator of forth generation.
