Plastic Surgeons in Cape Town

Plastic surgeons manage a broad scope of conditions, from reconstructive needs after injury, burns or cancer surgery to congenital conditions, hand and skin concerns, and elective aesthetic procedures. The exact range depends on the individual surgeon's training and scope of practice.

A first visit usually includes a review of your medical history, a physical examination relevant to your concern, and a discussion of possible options, including expected recovery and potential risks. You will have the opportunity to ask questions before any decision is made.

Practitioners listed in this directory are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), the regulatory body for medical practitioners in the country. You can verify registration status directly with the HPCSA.

This can depend on your medical aid plan and the nature of the procedure. Some medical aid schemes require a referral from a general practitioner for certain procedures to be covered, so it is worth checking with your scheme beforehand.

If you have a concern related to reconstruction, scarring, skin lesions or body contouring, it is advisable to consult a registered practitioner who can assess your specific situation and advise on appropriate next steps.
