Make your first message useful
What information should you include?
A clear first message helps the practice direct you towards the most appropriate appointment and reduces unnecessary exchanges before the consultation.

- Previous pregnancies, abdominal operations or hernia repairs, when relevant.
- Whether you prefer an online consultation or an in-person visit in Milan.

International patient – rectus diastasis consultation
Medical images and reports are required in advance only when arranging a video consultation. For a first in-person visit, imaging is not normally necessary.
Choose the correct assessment
Online consultation or in-person visit?
Both routes provide a specialist assessment, but the preparation and clinical limits are different.
Before requesting costs or an operation date
A consultation is essential for a reliable plan
Rectus diastasis, associated hernias, skin quality, fat distribution and previous surgery must be evaluated individually. Photographs and brief messages cannot replace a surgical consultation.
No quotation without assessment
Surgical costs are provided after the consultation because the required procedure and operating plan differ from patient to patient.
Photographs are not a diagnosis
Images may provide general context but cannot establish operability or determine the definitive treatment.
Telephone calls are organisational
The practice telephone is for scheduling and practical information, not for clinical advice or operative indication.

Frequently asked questions
Contacting the practice from abroad
What is the best way to make the first contact?
Email is usually the most useful first step because you can provide your clinical background, country of residence and preferred type of consultation in one message. You may also call the practice for appointments and organisational information.
Can I receive a surgical quotation by email?
No. A personalised quotation is prepared only after a surgical consultation, because the correct procedure and required components cannot be determined from a short message or photographs alone.
Do I need a CT scan before contacting the practice?
No. Imaging is required in advance only when arranging a video consultation. In that case, an abdominal wall ultrasound or, preferably, a CT scan must be reviewed before the appointment. Imaging is not normally needed for an in-person first visit.
Can the operation be scheduled during the first email exchange?
No. The surgical indication must first be established during an online or in-person consultation. Dates are discussed only after the procedure and organisational requirements have been defined.
Is the telephone number suitable for medical advice?
The telephone number is intended for appointments and practical information. Clinical advice, diagnosis and operative indications require a formal consultation.
