Am I a suitable candidate for plastic surgery?

This is best determined during your consultation. If you are in good health or have well-managed chronic illnesses, you are probably a good candidate. Diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and HIV are not contraindications to performing surgery – as long as they are appropriately managed.

Our aim is to give you the best possible result using the latest and safest techniques and protocols.

I am interested in cosmetic surgery – what is the first step?

We are based at two venues in Durban, South Africa – Life Entabeni Hospital and Life The Crompton Hospital. It would be best to make a booking with one of our helpful receptionists (+27319421354). Inform them that you would like a consultation for cosmetic surgery and they will allocate the appropriate amount of time for an in depth consultation.

What can I expect during my consultation?

Everything will be discussed from start to finish. What to expect, how it is done, recovery time, post-operative management – are just some of the topics we will discuss. In addition to this, a comprehensive examination will be performed. Often, an additional consultation will be scheduled to answer any further questions you may have.

Is it frowned upon to “Google“ my procedure prior to my surgery?

Not at all! We believe that you should be as well informed as possible. It is your body and this is a life-changing experience; the more information you have the better. Feel free to discuss any concerns with us.

It is important to maintain perspective though. Bear in mind that many pictures and videos you find on the internet are sensationalised in order to increase “likes”, “follows” and “hits”. While you are encouraged to learn about your surgery, you should also maintain some discretion when conducting such research. We are happy to separate fact from fiction for you!

Is cosmetic surgery expensive?

This once again depends on the type of surgery you undergo. The bulk of the cost of cosmetic surgery is paid to the hospital and not to the surgeon (contrary to popular belief!).

Cosmetic surgery is considered non-functional surgery by medical aids and are therefore not covered by them.

So how can i possibly afford this?

We have a number of payment plans which will allow you to achieve the body you have always wanted. We love what we do and will endeavor to give you the most affordable treatment possible! Please speak to us about our payment plans so that you can finally begin this exciting journey.

I am interested in what you do! Are you active on social media?

Yes indeed! Apart from our website, you can find interested posts on Facebook and Instagram. Follow us on both platforms! In addition, we have a monthly newsletter in which we discuss interesting topics in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, as well as keep you posted on what is new and fresh in our practice.
