Hi girls and guys,
I just had my last follow up appointment with Dr Cotrufo, so I thought I’d add some photos for you.
As you can see, I’ve lost some weight in the last couple months (as I’ve gone back to my normal eating and exercising routine) but my overall shape stayed the same.
I’ve only been back at the gym properly for a month so I expect to see further improvements in my overall physique in the next few months.
I’m still very happy I went through with the BBL, it changed my life.

ORIGINAL POST
Best BBL surgeon in the UK hands down
I decided Years ago that I will be having some kind of buttock enhancement procedure and with BBL gaining popularity it really seemed like a great choice.
Initially, I was going to go to Turkey as it’s cheaper but a few days before I was going to put down a deposit, news broke out that a girl died in the very clinic where I was going to have my procedure, at the hands of the same Dr I was going for. At that point Turkey was out of the question. My life is worth more than the extra 5K I will spend here.
Finding a quality surgeon who can showcase good BBL results in the UK was really a challenge. As some girls said, a lot of them rush you through the consultation and you really don’t feel human, more like a number. This was not the case with Dr Cotrufo. I had an opportunity at my consultation to ask every question that was important to me and I was encouraged to read through all the paperwork and come for another consultation (free of charge) to ask more questions before deciding anything. I really felt like he concentrating on safety and what looks best, rather than selling me whatever I asked for.
After two consultations with Dr Cotrufo I made my decision and booked the surgery.
On the day I was extremely nervous. It was my first ever surgery and I was scared that I won’t wake up or some other nightmare will happen to me while being on the table. But this is why girls and boys, it’s so important to pick a surgeon who you can trust with your life rather than a surgeon who is just good at Instagram marketing. Dr Cotrufo and his team really helped me feel more relaxed (as relaxed as one can be before surgery) but more than that, I knew that I was trusting someone with many years of experience doing the procedure with no complications and that is really what gave me the confidence to go ahead.
I had 700cc injected to each butt cheek which was the max that could be done for me safely at that time.
After leaving the hospital the next day, I felt generally ok. I didn’t really continue with the pain meds as I wasn’t in that much pain. It was uncomfortable but bearable. My incisions are minimal, I have 8 in total, these are healing up quite nicely at the moment but I will add more detail in a couple months.
Sleeping on my front for 6 weeks honestly was the most challenging part. It took me ages to get comfortable and through it all Wiesje and Dr Cotrufo were checking up on me every few days to see how I was doing.
I had a 1 week post op, 2 week post op and 6 week post op appointment (also have one booked for 4 months mark)
I wanted to wait for at least 6 weeks to do this review as your body changes a lot during that time. But now the swelling is almost gone and you can see what my final results will roughly look like.
I’m really happy with the way my shape turned out, i have everything I ever wanted... I have hips, I have a flat tummy and I even have some bum.
I really couldn’t recommend Dr Cotrufo enough. After months of research and consultations I really could not find anyone better qualified or anyone who could show me better before and after photos. If I ever decide on round 2 BBL or any other cosmetic procedure, I wouldn’t even dream of going to anyone else.

Hi you look amazing, I was just wondering what areas you got liposuctioned?
Thank you :)
And Sorry, I completely forgot to mention: I had full abdominal, flanks and back up to bra strap.
How much did that cost you in total because a review I have read said they were quoted £11,200 for just 2 areas of lipo... thanks in advance x
All together including the overnight hospital stay it was £10,000. The £100 for my consultation fee was deducted from the total xx
I am so happy that you did a review on your consultant that is in London. I have notice that there isn't a lot of reviews done for BBL done in London . Never in my wildest dreams would I ever thought of having any form of plastic surgery and I was always one to say why can't people be comfortable in their own skin.
Unfortunately I have to eat my own words becuase I am now faced with a huge belly looking like am 4 months pregnant and the irony of it is that iv'e got no children.
I am left baffled as to when, why and how my stomach just crept up overnight. Yes I am 49 so weight would normally stored around the waist but I have now decided to have something done about it.
I am a bit nervous because I had my dental work done in London which cost a lot of money and in the end It was such a shabby job, I ended up going to Turkey and have one of the best smile ever. I am now hoping to get my BBL and tummy done in London because I preferred to be closer to home just in case of anything.

Thank you for that. I'm having my second consultation with him as soon as I get back to London and I've decided to go ahead with him. I'm so excited.
Good luck! You’re gonna love your results :)
Hey, how are you getting on now ?
Hi,
I just had my 4 months follow up so posted an update on my review :)
Thanks so much! You look great! How long did you take off work ? What’s your email could I ask you a few questions? X
Thank you! I took 3 full weeks off, then stood up for another 3-4 weeks after going back to work. You can inbox me on this app and I’ll answer any questions you have :)
Hi LCxo, I am thinking of having a BBL done for a long time but I wasn't getting any positive reviews on it been done in the UK. I had research this consultant before but I didn't see a lot about him. Can you say how was the pain and how long did you stay in the hospital ? what items did you purchase as aftercare and did you get the massage done after the surgery ? I am super scared that I may not wake up after the surgery or anything of that nature may happen. I will be having a breast implant done first and after that settles, I will have the BBL. Thanks
Hi!
For me personally, having gone through the whole ordeal, I would say that going abroad in a massive NO. Especially when you're already worried about things like not waking up! Imagine something happens and you're not even home. This was my reasoning because I literally asked Dr Cotrufo before my surgery: am I going to wake up?
And he said with confidence: of course.
The pain... everyone's pain threshold is different, and how much pain you're in after also depends on how skilled the surgeon is. Personally, after leaving the hospital, I didn't take any more pain medication. I was in pain when trying to get up and lie down but it was tolderable. 6/10 I would say.
The garments I got were from Recova, that's what Dr recommends. I had 2 body suits, foams and an abdominal binder.
I had 5 massage sessions after my surgery and my recovery was going really well so I didn't need anymore.
I hope this helps! xxx
Hi LCxo, thanks for the advice but I have decided to have a breast implant done first before I do the BBL. I went to Harley Street today and have a consultation for the breast implant instead. I will be having it done month ending because I did lots of research so that's why I made up my mind to go ahead with it.
Hey girl, your post has given me so much hope
Wow!! Wow you look amazing. I’m so happy for you
