Dr. Ernesto Azzopardi

Dr Azzopardi is a plastic reconstructive aesthetic surgeon with a subspecialist interest in cutaneous laser surgery. Following the completion of UK-based training, and entry to the specialist register for plastic surgery, he furthered his interest in cutaneous laser surgery through prestigious super-specialist fellowships in Swansea, Milan, and London, where he is the incumbent Joint BAPRAS/ BAAPS Aesthetic Surgery Fellow.

After being conferred his PhD with distinction from Cardiff University UK, he proceeded to become an accomplished researcher, rapidly developing key opinion leadership in his chosen field. He is an Editorial Board Member of Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group) and has published in world-leading journals including the Lancet, the British Journal of Surgery and speciality-leading journals.

His cutting-edge work has been internationally recognised through various awards including the Royal College of Surgeons in England’s Hunterian Professorship and Medal, the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh’s Syme Medal, the British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery President’s Medal, the British Burns Association’s T Jackson Award, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery’s Travelling Fellowship, the Price-Thomas Travelling Fellowship, the BAPRAS/ BAAPS Aesthetic Surgery Fellowship (incumbent), and multiple funding awards.

This background informs his clinical practice with a depth of knowledge and he grounds it in current best evidence. His research ethos is inclusive and interdisciplinary. Dr Azzopardi firmly believes in the principle of life-long learning and teaching as key to nurturing the next generation of leaders in the field.

Dr Azzopardi’s subspecialist interest is high energy devices, including Laser, Intense Pulsed Light, Laser Assisted Drug Delivery (LADD), Jet Volumetric Rejuvenation, Endolift®, micro-liposculpture and their use in combination with conventional techniques, such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxin injection, and scar subscision,

His expertise extends to laser in all its modalities including ablative, non-ablative and Gigawatt / Picosecond Laser for the management of problematic scars (hypertrophic, atrophic and keloid) skin rejuvenation, sun damaged skin, facial skin laxity, pigmentation and vascular lesions, stretch marks, acne scarring.

Testimonials

I would like to thank the Cadogan Clinic and my surgeon for the outstanding job he did on my complicated and difficult surgery. Mine was an unusual case, but I could not have had a better outcome. Throughout the whole process from my first contact with the clinic I had wonderful support. Someone was always on the end of the phone, and I really appreciated the support

I had a procedure at the Cadogan Clinic. From my first consultation, my surgeon was honest, straight forward, and precise. All the details and expectations of the surgery were fully explained, along with the after care. I am still in recovery, but the results already look fantastic; they delivered on all the promises that he made to me.

I had the most amazing experience with the Cadogan Clinic. They were extremely accommodating and professional. I was a little bit hesitant to go through with it but their safety standards and professionalism put me at ease. Most importantly I am so happy with my results.

Three weeks ago I had advanced fat transfer surgery and I am over the moon with the results. My whole wellbeing has been uplifted and I am so much more confident and happy with myself. Thank you to the Clinic and my surgeon for their fantastic work and expertise

I wanted to say a big thank you to the Cadogan Clinic, I am so happy with the results from my surgery. I can’t thank my patient advisor enough for being my support throughout my journey. I felt so reassured from my initial consultation with her and she followed me up closely at each stage. Would recommend highly.

A massive thank you to the Cadogan Clinic. I am very pleased with the results from my surgery. My patient advisor was extremely organised and made me feel reassured throughout the whole experience. My surgeon was excellent and so was the Clinic team - I could not have asked for a better service

A huge thank you to the Cadogan Clinic who looked after me whilst having surgery. They treated me with so much care and it was truly appreciated. The care from the nurses was wonderful, and I genuinely felt that they really cared. First class service from the start. I also had follow-up calls the day after, couldn’t ask for more. A huge thank you to all involved

I could not praise the Cadogan Clinic or their fantastic staff more highly. I had a wonderful experience, am delighted with my outcome and in particular very grateful to the 24/7 nursing staff who were always on hand for any questions I had, at whatever time day or night
