««I didn’t want the breasts, but I did them for him. It led me to do things I would never have done». This is how Genny Urtis opens his new interview with Beasts. Two years later, the cosmetic surgeon and most pop influencer on Italian television is back in front of Francesca Fagnani to retrace the years of transition and the weight of bad relationships. «I’m still under treatment, psychotropic drugs help me forget. Now I live in the present, I’m happy with who I am and I don’t want to be anything else

From its origins to success in aesthetic medicine
Born in Caracas and raised in a family of Sardinian origin, Genny – Giacomo at the time – graduated in Medicine and Surgery, and then specialized in Dermatology and Venereology. His career took off quickly: he opened the Dr. Urtis Clinic between Milan, Rome and London, it inaugurates weight loss centers and launches a cosmetic line. A path that consecrates her as one of the most recognizable faces of Italian aesthetic medicine.
The path to gender affirmation
In December 2024, interviewed by MowMagtakes the most important step: «I am a trans woman. Yesterday my boyfriend left home… His parents never accepted me as a trans woman. Their pressure ultimately led to this painful breakup». Breast surgery arrives in 2025, a fundamental and at the same time tiring stage: «It costs between 5 and 8 thousand euros. My boyfriend paid for it. The prosthesis was given to me by a company I work with».
The toxic relationship and the transition: «I made the breasts for him»
Genny’s emotional experience is marked by a relationship that she herself defines, today, as wrong and destructive. A boyfriend who pushed her to imagine a life that would never come. «It made me dream of the life I hadn’t had yet. She made me believe I was a wife: we had even chosen the mothers of our children…» he tells Fagnani. From there even the idea of resorting to surrogate motherhood was born, a project that was then dissolved together with the end of the relationship. «He was the one who pushed me to make the transition. He manipulated me by waving my desire for a family in front of me. I didn’t want to redo my breasts, and then I redid them for him».
Genny Urtis: «I am a trans woman, I would never have a sex change»
TO BeastsGenny also addresses the relationship with one’s body and one’s identity. «I don’t feel like a woman, that would be ridiculous. I’m a trans in transition», he explains to Fagnani. «If I go to a gay club, gays don’t look at me, straight people look at me and without breasts I would have felt insecure». The first time in front of the mirror, after the surgery, was not easy: «I was shocked, I wanted to take them off». And he admits that, sometimes, he still thinks about the irreversibility of that gesture. Despite everything, he does not waver on one point: «This is why I would never do a sex change. It seems to me to take away something that is there. I remain trans and it’s a part of me that I don’t want to give up. Those who look for me also do so because I am like that».
The national footballer: «I took revenge, I called my wife»
In the interview with BeastsGenny Urtis removes a few stones from his shoes and talks about an alleged romantic involvement with a former footballer of the Italian national team. «I met him in the bathroom of a restaurant, then he wrote to me on social media and we started dating». An acquaintance which, according to his story, would quickly transform into something deeper: «I fell very in love, but after six months of dating he disappeared». That’s where, he explains, he decided to react: «At that point I got angry and called his wife». Alla Fagnani confirms that the man in question would be «a footballer who also played for the national team, but now no longer plays». A choice, that of the phone call, dictated by disappointment: «I took revenge because he made me believe he wanted to be with me and that it was over with his wife».
