Mr Kosutic operated on a BCC on my scalp in February. Throughout my entire treatment path he has provided me with an excellent level of treatment and care (along with the excellent team at Spire Manchester) His expertise was evident from the first minute and he really settled my nerves. As a patient he makes you feel relaxed and assured that you are in safe hands. He is extremely calm and composed (and very funny too!) I trusted Mr Kosutic 100% with my treatment and he has delivered a fantastic result that I am very happy with - as well as removing the BCC he has also successfully removed a previous surgical scar that had left a patch of alopecia. He has performed a truly exceptional surgery and delivered a result way beyond my initial expectations. Thank you!

Last year, I underwent flap surgery for stage 2C melanoma on my left leg, as well as a groin lymph node biopsy. I cannot speak highly enough of the outstanding care and expertise provided by Dr. Damir Kosutic. The speed and precision of the procedure were exceptional, and both the surgical wound and biopsy scar are healing beautifully. 💪✨ Thanks to Dr. Kosutic's incredible work, I was able to recover quickly and even take on the 50 burpees a day challenge, raising £3,000 for Cancer Research UK. 🏋️♂️🎉 This achievement was only possible because of the excellent care I received. I am beyond grateful and couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you so much, Dr. Kosutic, for everything! 🙏❤️

I had lymphedema/lipodema liposuction on my right leg on 22nd February. I’m now one month on and the difference in my leg is honestly unbelievable. I have diligently followed the advice provided by Mr Kosutic and it’s definitely paid off. I haven’t seen my leg look like this in well over 15 years and the pain and swelling is subsiding. He’s been amazing with answering any queries I have and allaying any concerns. I’m feeling very confident with the post surgery recovery and I know if I follow his advice for my second surgery (on my left leg) I will finally be pain free when I recover. I cannot recommend him enough.

It took me 15 years to finally book my first breast consultation for asymmetry. I had concerns about getting implants—how they might affect my health, the possibility of needing future procedures, whether they would actually create symmetry, if they would look natural, and crucially which surgeon I could trust to help me make the best decision for me. After thorough research, I chose to book a consultation with Mr. Kosutic due to his expertise in breast reconstruction and outstanding reputation. In my initial consultation he was honest, professional, and realistic about the potential outcomes. He also reassured me that the results I wanted could be achieved through liposuction and fat transfer alone, eliminating the need for implants. After a few follow up questions I knew based on his approach that he was the right surgeon to go to. Throughout my journey, Mr. Kosutic has been very caring and supportive. He truly listened to my concerns, provided a solution tailored specifically to my needs, and skilfully delivered the best possible outcome through his surgery. His level of care has exceeded my expectations, and he continues to provide ongoing support with regular post-op check-ins, ensuring I feel fully supported in my recovery. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Mr. Kosutic. I can't thank him enough for finding the right solution, and giving me the confidence to move forward with surgery. I am so much happier and free in my body, and I wish I had gone through with this sooner. Thank you for everything.
