I underwent a complex polymer/silicone filler removal from the gluteal area with Dr. Stefano Cotrufo. The filler had been injected several years ago under the trade name Aquafilling (also known as Aqualift / Los Deline) which is a polyacrylamide-based hydrogel polymer that can cause chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and tissue distortion over time. After researching for over two years, including consultations in Miami, Los Angeles, Europe, and Colombia, I chose Dr. Cotrufo because of his extensive anatomical expertise, experience with complex gluteal procedures, and his scientific understanding of polymer-based filler complications. The procedure was performed with ultrasound guidance, allowing precise identification and removal of large volumes of filler while preserving healthy tissue. The outcome was a large, clean removal and a smooth, uncomplicated healing process. Throughout the process, Dr. Cotrufo showed exceptional surgical precision, attention to detail, and genuine empathy. He explained every step clearly, provided realistic expectations, and followed up closely during recovery. I would strongly recommend Dr. Cotrufo to anyone facing complications from polymer, silicone, or other filler materials. His combination of technical mastery, integrity, and patient care makes him one of the leading experts in this highly specialized field.

From my very first consultation, the entire experience was handled with exceptional professionalism and care. Dr. Cotrufo took the time to explain every detail of the procedure, answered all my questions with patience, and made me feel completely at ease. The surgery itself was done with remarkable precision — the results truly look natural and exceeded my expectations. The post-operative care was equally impressive, with the team and Dr Cotrufo checking in regularly to ensure a smooth recovery. If you’re looking for a surgeon who combines technical skill, artistry, and genuine compassion, I highly recommend Dr. Cotrufo and his team. Truly a five-star experience from start to finish!

Following Dr. Stefano’s recommendation, I underwent two stages of BBL due to a scar revision, and the results are truly amazing. It’s been over a year since my procedure, and I feel more confident and happier with my body than ever. Dr. Stefano is incredibly honest, professional, and skilled. He truly has both the talent and experience. I would highly recommend him!

I had come to see Dr Cotrufo for revision arm lift and breast augmentation and lift revision surgery and scheduled my initial surgery date soon after, but unfortunately couldn’t make it on the planned date due to a nasty fall - from Dr Cotrufo to his extremely kind, attentive and personable team who make this journey so much more exciting, easy and less intimidating, they were all so so kind and understanding and helped me in every way - they rescheduled me as soon as I was back in optimal physical health to go under, and provided constant guidance and support, before and during my recovery right now - Dr cotrufo has been nothing but kind, supportive, and caring, always proving he has your best interest in mind first and foremost - Wiesje, one of his lovely assistants, is an angel and has been so kind and supportive to me throughout, always checking in and making sure I’m feeling better, hanine is another lovely member of his team who has been just as kind and lovely to me, and the hospital where I stayed, Harley Health Village, was absolutely wonderful with everybody being extremely attentive and on top of it all - this has been such an amazing experience and I can’t wait to continue working with Dr Cotrufo and his amazing team - I am 1 week post op, and fully energized, absolutely loving the journey I’m on - thank you so much to the Team and to Dr Cotrufo

I recently had liposuction with Dr.Cotrufo and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed with the results! To be honest, I didn’t expect the outcome to be this good—I thought I would see some improvement, but the results have far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Cotrufo is truly a genius at what he does. His precision, technique and eye for detail are absolutely remarkable. The results look so natural and perfectly balanced and I feel like a new person. From the very beginning, he was very professional and made sure I fully understood the procedure. He listened carefully to my concerns and gave me clear and honest advice, which really helped ease my worries before the surgery. I highly recommend him . His talent and expertise speak for themselves in the results. I’m beyond grateful for his amazing work!

I’m so glad I chose Dr Cotrufo, I’m 3 weeks post op and I’m loving my results already (I mean his Instagram account speaks for itself), but the day of the surgery and the aftercare was everything for me. Dr Cotrufo was super caring, and I always felt looked after by him and his team. I have low blood pressure and sometimes get dizzy, and at every single visit, he’d make sure I’m ok and offer me chocolate. That kind of care meant a lot. Hanine was also super kind, patient, and always there to answer my million questions. She made the whole process stress free. Overall, the whole experience just made me feel like I was truly being taken care of.

I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Cotrufo and to the community that led me to him. He’s not only a highly skilled surgeon but also someone who genuinely takes the time to help you understand your body and set clear, realistic expectations. His thoughtful approach helped me pinpoint exactly what I was unhappy with and how we could address it together. As a 46-year-old male, I had been struggling to shift stubborn “love handles” despite consistent effort at the gym. Dr. Cotrufo made the entire experience feel safe and well-informed, taking great care to explain the procedure and ensure I felt confident every step of the way. The results have been outstanding. One of the most surprising—and rewarding—benefits has been how much easier it’s become to stay motivated at the gym. The surgical results gave me a head start, and now the progress I see from working out is more visible and encouraging than ever. That boost in visible definition has made it much easier to stay consistent and build confidence in my self-image. A special shoutout as well to Wiesje at Dr. Cotrufo’s office—having direct access to her via WhatsApp was incredibly helpful. She coordinated everything seamlessly and was always available to answer questions quickly and clearly. Overall, it’s been an exceptional experience that I would confidently recommend to others.

I’m 6 weeks post op with Dr Cotrufo and cannot re commend him enough. My entire process from start to finish has been so smooth and straight forward…I knew at my initial consultation that I wanted to proceed, Dr Cotrufo has a very honest and calming demeanour and always made me feel confident and safe in his care. On my surgery day I was feeling very anxious and Dr Cotrufo really calmed me down and re assured me. My surgery recovery was a lot easier than I had anticipated and my pain minimal! Having researched the surgery all over the internet and seeing many horror stories on YouTube etc I was very concerned I’d be in a lot of pain and struggle to take care of my kids but Dr Cotrufo re assured me this is not how he works and this would not be the case, he was correct…I was up and on the move immediately and able to put my children to bed alone 24 hours later. My follow up care has been nothing short of outstanding and given Dr Cortufo’s wide catalogue of skills and expertise I will always come to him for any surgery I might consider going forward. I cannot recommend him enough!

I am extremely happy I chose Dr. Cortrufo for my BBL procedure. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of excellent. As a trans woman, it's been important to me to find a surgeon who understands the complexities of gender-affirming care while also treating me with respect and sensitivity. Dr. Cortrufo exceeded every expectation. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, Dr. Cortrufo was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive. He took the time to listen to my concerns, understand what I was hoping to achieve, and provided expert guidance every step of the way. The staff were always supportive, making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. As for the procedure itself, I felt completely taken care of. Dr. Cortrufo ensured I was informed at all times, and the results speak for themselves. I am in love with my new shape! The BBL gave me the curves I’ve always wanted :) The recovery was smoother than expected, and the aftercare instructions were clear and easy to follow. If you’re looking for a skilled surgeon who genuinely cares about your goals and overall well-being, I highly recommend Dr. Cortrufo. I am beyond happy with my results and feel more confident and comfortable in my body than I ever have before. Thank you, Dr. Cortrufo and team, for changing my life! :)
