Let’s meet Antonio Savanellione of the most sought-after Neapolitan plastic surgeons in the VIP world, to talk about what “retouching” is today for show business figures.
Welcome to Antonio Savanelli at La Gazzetta dello Spettacolo. In his work, he had the opportunity to communicate with show business figures. Have you ever had to interfere with any of them?
Hello and thank you very much, it’s always nice. Absolutely yes and very often! Indeed, I had to adhere to absurd requirements that contradicted my idea of beauty, which characterized my career.
What is the most “terrible” thing you’ve seen on TV or worse?
There are many worse remades but I don’t want to name names either for deontology and ethics but I’ll leave you to imagine and doing my rating would be too long.
If I ask you to rank the VIPs (male and female), what are the top 3 remakes and the 3 worst remakes?
I can only answer for the best alterations that deserve my applause, as well as for the choice and minimalism of the intervention. Reversal is always overkill, and excess always turns into ugliness and visibility, for example, Nicole Kidman completely overwhelmed Belen Rodriguez, Ilari Blasi and Ronaldo among the best retouching.
Have you ever (without naming names) got your hands on an artist that has already been remade?
But I believe that today it is almost impossible for a VIP or non-VIP to interfere with people who have not done anything yet, and we are also talking about the touch-up of aesthetic medicine, there are almost no blank canvases to paint on.
Do you also think that by now we are all making ourselves the same through surgery?
What is more, what is missing most today is the vibrant personality that makes us distinguish beauty from fashion. All the same, of course not, but the fashion that social networks and advertising campaigns are launching certainly has a large number of followers and a lot of proselytizing, and this becomes the canonization of aesthetic details on a large scale.
What do you think of the improvements?
