Before and After BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION WITH FAT TRANSFER

My Brazilian butt lift experience with Dr Stefano Cotrufo has been absolutley amazing from start to finish. I researched so many surgeons and Dr Cotrufo’s name kept coming up for body contouring and cosmetic plastic surgery. I initially thought Harley Street might be too expensive for me, which is why I hesitated at first, but it was the best decision ever. The level of professionalism, experience, care and thoroughness of Dr Cotrufo was so much higher then anywhere else. I came to see him 3 times in his clinic in Harley Street. He explained carefully and clearly what was possible to achieve by using VASER rather than traditional liposuction. I initially wanted to do liposuction to arms flanks and outer thighs without a fat transfer to the buttock but Dr advised (and showed me in a picture) that the result with adding a small amount of fat would be much nicer. I am so glad I followed his advice! The hospital was very clean, modern and the staff super friendly. I stayed overnight, saw Dr Cotrufo when I woke up and went home in a taxi (sitting on my knees :-) ) after breakfast! I went from a oldish looking bum to a perky, round but not too big one giving an overall very natural hourglass look! My arms and knees now are much slimmer and I can’t even see any of the skin incisions! I have been sharing my pictures with my friends who now want the same surgery but if I would not have told them it would just look like I naturally have this amazing JLo body! The first week after the procedure, I did not even need all my painkillers, and was walking (carefully) around the house, up & down the stairs, cooking within 24hrs. Dr Cotrufo called personally to check up on me and I have been in touch with his assistant Wiesje regularly for advise on garments, post op massages and anything else. It has been wonderful to have total peace of mind throughout my first cosmetic surgery procedure and to know that I can always talk to someone if I need help or advice. And the results are just STUNNING! I love my new body!! Thank you Dr Cotrufo!

The procedure I was looking for was a Tummy Tuck coupled with Lipo and fat graft to buttocks for a BBL. It was a complex combination from a recovery point of view. Following a year’s worth of research which included consultations with 4 different Harley St surgeons and 1 Spain based, I met Dr. Cotrufo. Dr. Cotrufo on my first consultation very quickly recognised my nervous enthusiasm. He put me at ease and answered every single question no matter how silly. Following this first consultation I researched more about Dr. Cotrufo. Aside from real-self where most are paying private patients, I researched wider and came across reviews from NHS (National Health Service) patients that Dr. Cotrufo had worked with. Some of these reviews were from people who had undergone complex reconstructive surgery as a result of cancer. The patient spoke of how delighted they were with a natural looking scar free outcome. These were reviews that mattered to me personally; coming from non-paying patients speaking highly of a Dr’s craft. Dr Cotrufo stood out from others I had met on Harley Street for his sense of duty of care towards his patients as opposed to others that saw me as a paying customer. I felt safe and reassured that I was in very capable hands. I booked my surgery for 6th of December 2017. Everything went to plan and I was home following a two-night stay at the hospital. Soon after surgery I was surprised at how little pain and discomfort I felt after a combination procedure on 3 different areas of my body. I found that this procedure was far less painful compared to the episiotomy I had during labour. At day 3 I stopped taking my painkillers altogether. This was amazing, as I’d seen some really unsavoury recovery experiences on YouTube from people with similar combination of procedures. I sincerely believe this was down to Dr Cotrufo’s outstanding skills as a surgeon. Once home I unfortunately caught the Noro virus from my lil one and had to be taken back to my primary care provider, the NHS. The doctor and the two surgeons who treated me in A&E examined the tummy tuck incision and complemented the skill behind it. They said that I would have a great cosmetic outcome when I was all healed up. I am now 4weeks post-op and each day I am happier with my results and my choice of surgeon. My tummy tuck scar is so thin almost like a light pencil line and the bellybutton is very natural looking as the suturing is from the inside. I have seen some pictures of mediocre tummy tucks with stuck on bellybuttons and I can confidently say my own result is elegant and natural looking with no scarring on the outside. I am fairly slender and did not have much fat to give for BBL however the Dr managed to transform my entire shape with the little fat I had. He’s an artist as much as he is a surgeon. I have a better body and contours now than I did pre-preganacy and am well pleased with the outcome. The icing on the cake is the fact that Dr. Cotrufo is always accessible. He personally texts and phones regularly to check on my recovery and to address any questions or concerns I may have, including on holidays. He also has a committed practice manager (Claudia) who is prompt and professional. I cannot thank Dr Cotrufo enough for giving me a body I am happy to live in for the rest of my life. If you are considering cosmetic or reconstructive surgery I would very highly recommend Dr Cotrufo; not only are his surgical skills exceptional he genuinely cares for your outcome and is with you every step of the way. I wish him a long and rewarding career and wish many more people can benefit from his skills.

When I made the decision to have cosmetic surgery  I chose Dr Cotrufo for a consultation based on good reviews I saw of him online and because of his location. I submitted my interest and details via ‘realself’ and received a call back the next day!  I was given an appointment within a couple of days and was glad for this as it didn’t want too much time to reconsider and talk myself out of it. When I met Dr Cotrufo, I immediately felt at ease mainly because of his approachable, calm and friendly manner. He spoke openly and very honestly about the Brazilian Butt Lift & Fat Transfer procedure, what I could achieve realistically when examined and reassured me about my suitability for the type of surgery I wanted. He was totally straight forward about what wasn’t advisable or suitable for me and the reasons why.  That was one of the reasons I felt safe about choosing him as my surgeon as I wanted to feel like a patient and not just a spending customer. I was even more impressed at the photos I was shown of previous patients and saw how skilled Dr Cotrufo really is in giving you the results you want, which was the deciding factor for me.   I was offered an appointment for surgery within a month of my consultation which allowed me to raise the finance, book the time of work and be confident with my decision to proceed with such a dramatic change. On the day of surgery I was so unbelievably anxious, however, the staff at Riverside Hospital were friendly and made me as comfortable as ever. I have to be honest, this experience of BBL/ Fat transfer was extremely painful for me I had a million concerns after surgery, but having a Dr that you can call and text with any concerns really helped me to get through the post op worries. He answered ALL my questions and never made me feel like I was pestering him, he was more of a friend that reassured me it’s going to be ok. Although he is very busy I was able to see him twice in one week with no appointment after surgery just because I was worried and he found the time to see me. I didn’t have any problems or complications with my surgery it all when well, but everybody’s pain threshold is different and we heal at different rates. I am 8 weeks post surgery now and still have a bit of swelling, bruising and small scars which is all normal, but overall I’m happy with my results so far and I will consider further surgery in the future (despite the pain!!) to achieve the overall look I desire with a surgeon I trust. I trust & recommend Dr Cotrufo as a surgeon as he is talented and very skilled. In my opinion this Dr should be promoted more as he is a humble but exceptional surgeon.   Life is short and if cosmetic surgery helps us to feel better about our appearance we should always strive for happiness.

I had a bbl two years ago with a well known surgeon in Harley St. but I was disatisfied with the results as my bum didn’t look prominent enough. This is why I went to a consultation with Dr Cotrufo with hopes that I still had some fat left to transfer (I am already quite thin and I had been told by other surgeons that I didn’t have enough fat to do another BBL). But Dr. Cotrufo very quickly understood what I was looking for and we both agreed in what could be done. He took a long time to analyse my body and my concerns with the attention to detail of an artist. And most important, he listened to me until we 100% agreed of what would be the ideal result. I was a bit skeptical because I had already done the procedure with the cost and time off that this implies and I didn’t want to go through the process again unless I could see a big difference afterwords… Well thanks God I listen to my intuition and did it with him!!! My results are WOW… Dr. Cotrufo managed to transfer more than TRIPLE of the fat I got transferred on my previous surgery. He did exactly what we agreed in the consultation and even exceeded my expectations. The experience was overall amazing and I always felt safe and able to communicate with him 24/7 which helped a lot. If you really want to be in the best hands, don’t hesitate to go to him! Thanks Dr.Cotrufo!! One of the best decision of my life :)))

I researched the bbl extensively and initially booked to do it in Spain before getting put off by their inconsistent pre-op admin. Then I saw another surgeon in Knightsbridge who is a well known name in the field. After reading his reviews, I chickened out as the previous clients said the results were not great. I saw Dr Stefano and instantly felt in good hands. I was reassured by the fact that he understood what I wanted. He didn’t try to push me to get as much work done as possible, in fact he told me not to touch an area as that could lead to needing more work in future- who ever heard of a surgeon passing up an opportunity to charge you more?!! He knew his stuff though as nearly 2 months on, I’m delighted with the results. He and his staff are attentive, easy to reach, always there to reassure you and genuinely good at their job. If you’re after a BBL in England, based on my own experience and opinion, you’re in the right hands. After seeing my results, a friend is going to Dr Stefano. Good luck ladies!

Extremely happy with my surgery results. Had revision liposuction and fat transfer and the results have exceeded my expectations by far. From the high level of care and precaution prior to surgery to the surgery and after care, Dr Cotrufo has been extremely professional and I couldn’t even dream about having the results that I do. Highly recommend

As planned, 8 weeks after my tummy tuck I went back to Dr Cotrufo for my Brazilian Butt Lift. Physically I felt fit ready to do another procedure which was important to both myself and Dr.We had discussed my desired results in our last meeting and I showed him pictures of the shape I was hoping to achieve and he told me how attainable the results were for my body shape.On the day of surgery, Doctor Cotrufo was as cheery as ever which really enhanced my already excited mood. Waking up from surgery I was already in my compression garment which I was put in at the end of my surgery. The garment was quite bloody in the areas where the Doctor had made the incisions (this is very normal but good to be aware it’s going to happen). You can’t sit or lay on your bum at all (for a minimum of 6 weeks!). I found laying on my front quite annoying, so I did a variety of kneeling, standing and laying on my front.It’s important to try and not sit on your bum for as long as you can. At 7 / 8 weeks I sat a bit awkwardly which has left a bit of a oddly shaped dent in my bum. It’s not the end of the world but it’s a good ting for others to bare in mind.Wearing you compression garments after surgery is absolutely key!! It helps to shape your body after surgery. I have been wearing mine ever since my surgery and will continue to wear for months to come. As the swelling ids down in your body, you’ll need to keep reducing the size of the garment to keep it as fired as possible.Dr Cotrufo and his assistant Wiesje have been great during my process. Great resources to ask questions if unsure about anything. Would definitely recommend!

I have recently just had surgery with Dr Cotrufo. I had fat transfer from my back, flanks and upper arms to my buttocks and hips also from under my chin but that wasn’t used for the transfer. The type of liposuction was Vaser what is recommended for better overall skin tightening and less agressive than normal liposuction. I wanted a more fuller, firmer buttock I also wanted a smaller waist and hips, not a lot to ask for! Dr Cotrufo was very reassuring on my consultation and made me feel at ease about the procedure. I can honestly say I never imagined the results would be as amazing as they are! When I came around after surgery Dr Cotrufo was there and reassured me everything went to plan what I was happy to hear. When I looked at my results that night I thought I had imagined what I saw, I couldn’t believe I finally had hips and a peachy bum! I was no longer straight up/ down I had that smaller waist and finally some shape to my body! I have been so amazed by the results from this fat transfer I cannot stop looking at it!I would highly recommend anyone thinking of getting this procedure done to go to Dr Cotrufo, he has not only has changed my body but my confidence I am very grateful. I think it is also very good service that he provides in the way you can call him or text with any concerns. I have had surgery before and not been able to have contact with the surgeon until the follow up appointment with Dr Cotrufo he is there at any time. He’s a very lovely man and a genius! Very happy with every part of my surgery journey. Thank you Dr Cortufo!

Best decision I made is when I cancel flying to Spain for my BBL procedure and choose to stay here in London. From first consultation, I feel confident and knew I can trust him. Dr . Cotrufo is calm, patient, very friendly and polite. He was brutally honest right from the beginning with regards to risk involved, precautions and outcomes. He clearly explained everything clearly and answer all my questions and concerns . I’m two weeks post operation and healing amazingly so far. I couldn’t be more happier with my results . I was nervous but His assistant Ms Wiesje has been so much more than a help, make me feel confident of my decision and constantly checking on me to make sure I’m okay before and after surgery. They’re honestly an amazing team that treat and show uttermost care and attention through my procedure. Dr. Cotrufo is simple the best BBL you can get in London and I’ll recommend anyone who’s considering for good BBL and body contouring/sculpting procedure.
