To Professor Umberto Veronesi, whose philosophy guided us to oncoplastics journey. To our mentors, models of integrity and discipline for our surgical practice, and who left an indelible mark on us with their skills, creativity, and love of science and art of oncoplastic and reconstructive surgery of the breast. To all the patients who allowed us to repair an important part of their lives. We got it right many times, but sometimes made unavoidable mistakes when we were not able to achieve the best outcome. This is the experience we want to share in this book, in order to help surgeons make positive decisions. To our families, particularly our wives and children, for whom we want to create a better future, and try to leave a better world.
