Worth ItLip Lift

Excellent Experience with Professional Team.

I had a lip lift with Dr Stefano and initially felt a bit nervous about requesting the procedure, mainly because of the stigma that can sometimes surround facial plastic surgery. However the staff were all very pleasant, professional and completely non-judgemental which made the whole process much easier. Something I appreciated was that the approach felt balanced and sensible, but they also understood my requests and didn’t make me feel bad for asking. Nothing was pushed or over-encouraged - the focus seemed to be on natural, functional results rather than anything excessive. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. The anaesthetics team including the nurse were very amicable and I felt relaxed as a result. The only minor qualm is that things occasionally ran late , but honestly the main thing is having good results and that’s what happened. Dr Stefano is clearly very precise and technically skilled, but also easy to talk to so I felt listened to throughout. The result looks natural and has settled well. I am very pleased with it. Also- after healing I could return to work without raising any eyebrows - and I often work in front of the camera too, so that was a relief Special thanks as well to receptionist Holly for coordinating everything promptly and for having such a non judgemental manner over email

Worth ItLiposuction

Arm Vaser Liposuction Alone… Wonderful Results!

I was recently deliberating whether or not to go ahead with treatment for my excess fat under my arms since gaining and losing a lot of weight after having children in one particular area, especially since I specifically did not want any scars. I met with several surgeons and decided to go with Dr Cotrufo as I really appreciated his honest review, which included that the treatment may give conservative results for my skin type and that I may not see the results I expected. He did say that it was possible to improve however, and after deliberating and observing his work I went for it. I’m so very glad I did as the results exceeded my expectations, I’m so very happy with the look so far, and I’m only at week 3 (so further swelling will reduce as weeks/ months go by). I know him and his team put a lot of thought into helping my unique and complex situation and the work paid off hugely for me and my confidence. The experience was 5 star with explanations and contact all throughout the process and the facilities were amazing. I especially liked just how safe they are and the fact that they did the procedure with IV sedation, making it and the recovery very manageable. I highly recommend Dr Cotrufo, he is extremely skilled, safe, informative and will not promise the world if he cannot deliver it. Thank you to the whole team, especially Holly, Alberto and of course Dr Cutrofo.

Worth ItDeep Plane Facelift

The BEST Surgeon

After a revision deep plane facelift following significant weight loss and previous neck lipo elsewhere, my face had been left distorted and I didn’t know if it was something I simply had to live with. From my very first consultation, he immediately understood the problem, explained exactly what could be done, and reassured me completely. He treated this as the final procedure it should be- thoughtfully combining approaches so the surgery was truly worth it. What stood out most was how important he made me feel. He listened, he cared, and he gave me confidence when I really had none. Four weeks post-surgery, I feel amazing. I’ve met many surgeons, but he is by far the best- there truly aren’t many like him. This experience has been genuinely life-changing and proves how powerful surgery can be when it’s done right. He is the BEST!

Worth ItArm Lift

Best Arm Lift Experience in London, Outstanding Care and Results

I chose Dr. Cotrufo for my arm lift and am so glad I did. The pre-surgery experience was seamless. The clinic was very flexible with my schedule, and communication was excellent. Dr. Cotrufo, Holly, and the entire team were absolutely fantastic and always quick to respond via WhatsApp, email, or phone, making sure I felt informed, calm, and comfortable at every stage. Dr. Cotrufo is an outstanding surgeon. I had heard from multiple people that he is the best arm lift surgeon in London, and my results fully confirm that reputation. I even spoke with someone at a lab that works with many cosmetic clinics in London, and she told me that Dr. Cotrufo is the surgeon she would personally choose for any plastic surgery. That level of trust says everything. He uses a specialized technique that places the scar in a very discreet area, which has made a huge difference in my confidence. He also genuinely cares about his patients. When I accidentally yanked on my drains, he stayed late to see me on short notice, which made me feel completely looked after. If you are thinking about getting an arm lift, I strongly recommend Dr. Cotrufo and his team. I truly believe Dr. Cotrufo is the best cosmetic surgeon in London, and if I ever decide to have any future cosmetic procedures, I would not hesitate to return to him.

#1 in the World

I got a facelift with this amazing man and my face was not even swollen or bruised the next day. No one could even tell I had anything done because he is so precise and good at everything he does. I would recommend to ANYONE to chose this surgeon - he is not just technically brilliant he is a positive male role model and a lovely person and a blessing in my life.

Worth ItSilicone Injection Removal

Exceptional Expertise in Complex Silicone/Polymer Removal

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.

Worth ItBreast Augmentation

Exceptional Professionalism and Result

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!

Worth ItBrazilian Butt Lift

Best BBL Surgeon

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!

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 .
