Dr. Sergio Razzano

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeon – Reconstructive Microsurgeon in Naples, Italy

Dr. Sergio Razzano is a specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery with advanced expertise in Reconstructive Microsurgery.

His clinical and scientific activity focuses particularly on complex tissue reconstruction using advanced microsurgical techniques, with specific expertise in lower-limb trauma reconstruction, microsurgical breast reconstruction and advanced head and neck reconstruction.

He currently works at the A.O.R.N. Antonio Cardarelli Hospital in Naples, within the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Burn Unit, while also practicing privately at Timeless Plastic Surgery in Naples.

Advanced Expertise in Reconstructive Microsurgery

Microsurgery represents one of the core areas of Dr. Sergio Razzano's professional activity.

His reconstructive practice includes advanced techniques based on free tissue transfer and microsurgical vascular anastomoses, used in the treatment of complex defects caused by trauma, oncological surgery and extensive tissue loss.

His main areas of expertise include:

• Reconstructive Microsurgery

• Lower-Limb Trauma Reconstruction

• Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction

• DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction

• Head and Neck Reconstruction

• Free-Flap Surgery

• Oncological Reconstruction

• Complex Soft-Tissue Reconstruction

Lower-Limb Trauma Reconstruction

Dr. Sergio Razzano has specific expertise in microsurgical reconstruction of the lower extremities following complex trauma.

Severe lower-limb injuries may involve extensive damage to skin, soft tissues, muscles, vessels and exposed bone. In selected cases, reconstructive microsurgery can provide vascularized tissue coverage with the aim of restoring anatomical integrity and supporting functional recovery.

Dr. Razzano's scientific work in this field includes research on free-flap reconstruction of the lower limb after trauma, including advanced applications of the anterolateral thigh flap.

Advanced Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction represents another important field within Dr. Razzano's reconstructive microsurgery practice.

His experience includes autologous breast reconstruction using microsurgical techniques, including the DIEP flap, in which tissue from the patient's abdomen is transferred to reconstruct the breast while preserving the abdominal muscles.

Dr. Razzano has also contributed to international scientific research on the optimization of DIEP flap breast reconstruction, including techniques designed to improve breast shape and aesthetic outcomes following immediate reconstruction.

The reconstructive strategy is individually planned according to the patient's anatomy, previous treatments, oncological history and reconstructive requirements.

Advanced Head and Neck Reconstruction

Dr. Sergio Razzano is also experienced in advanced microsurgical reconstruction of the head and neck region.

Head and neck reconstruction can be required following oncological surgery, trauma or major tissue loss and represents one of the most complex areas of reconstructive surgery.

Microsurgical free flaps allow vascularized tissue to be transferred from another area of the body to reconstruct complex defects while addressing both functional and anatomical requirements.

His experience includes the use and teaching of reconstructive options such as:

• anterolateral thigh flap – ALT;

• fibula free flap;

• radial forearm free flap;

• scapular and parascapular flaps;

• chimeric flaps;

• local and regional reconstructive flaps.

International Training and Experience

Dr. Sergio Razzano graduated with honors in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Naples Federico II and subsequently completed his specialization in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery with the highest marks.

Driven by a strong interest in microsurgery, he continued his professional development in the United Kingdom, spending approximately three years at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where he gained extensive experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery, microsurgery and complex free-flap reconstruction.

During his international career, he developed advanced experience in reconstructive procedures involving trauma, breast reconstruction and complex anatomical regions.

Creator of the  1/3 SMR Breast® Technique

Dr. Sergio Razzano is the creator of the 1/3 SMR Breast® technique, an innovative approach to breast augmentation and augmentation-mastopexy.

The technique combines selective upper pectoral muscle coverage with a subfascial implant plane, with the aim of optimizing implant coverage and stability while limiting excessive muscle recruitment.

The 1/3 Selective Muscle Recruitment technique was published in 2026 in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The technique and the 1/3 SMR Breast® identity are also protected through international trademark registration.

This combination of clinical development, scientific publication and international dissemination represents an important part of Dr. Razzano's activity in innovation within aesthetic breast surgery.
