Best Otoplasty Centers In Johannesburg Near Me

4worldlovers:
Dr Doucas is committed to personalised care and consultation, since our patients' comfort, well-being and safety is our greatest priority. He believes that it is essential that his patients be fully informed about the surgical procedure they are considering, that they know what to expect prior to, during and after surgery and that they understand any risks that may be associated with the procedure.

Dr Doucas likes to see his patients at least twice before surgery, even though only the first consultation is charged for. During these consultations, Dr Doucas translates complex medical conditions and procedures in understandable, non-medical terms, ensuring that patients have a clear understanding of the benefits and risks of the procedure.

It is during this time that patients are encouraged to raise any questions or concerns they may have. Dr Doucas' caring and patient manner creates an environment where patients feel comfortable to discuss their condition or cosmetic aspirations openly and in confidence.

Dr Doucas also treats personalised after-care as a priority. Patients are seen regularly following their surgery and there is no additional fee for these follow-ups.

4worldlovers: Before i say you are an extraordinary doctor. I need to say you are an extraordinary human being. The care I received before, during and after my surgery was a scary journey but an amazing journey with you at my side. You gave me my confidence back and for that I will forever be eternally greatful. Thank you!!

From the moment I met you, I had the confidence I was in the very best hands. You and your staff do every possible means to ensure that I am prepared for every surgery, and follow up procedures. From dressing changes to tissue expander, I have never once felt uncomfortable having gone through Breast Reconstruction, at the age of 33 years, is a very big thing… emotionally, physically and mentally

I am proud to say, a year and half after my first surgery, I am grateful that you have helped me regain a chunk of my life, that I feared I would never get back!

Dr Marissa Venter did reconstructive surgery on me after my breast cancer treatment in 2017.Although aesthetics were not my priority Dr Venter is a perfectionist and my outcome was aesthetically very pleasing.Dr Venter gives 100% of herself and although it may seem biased I would say she is one of the best if not THE BEST plastic surgeon especially where breasts are concerned as she has worked so closely with the breast care centre.Thank you Dr Venter for making me smile again even though I went through the toughest time of my life.

Not only is Dr Venter a skilled surgeon, but she is one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever met. Dr Venter had the horrible task of telling me that I have 2 choices – a full mastectomy or skin saving mastectomy. I opted for the latter and the dorsi flap operation was done in January 2017.

Dr Venter was an absolute Godsend! She was kind and gracious and treated me and my family with the utmost respect. She took the time to explain every detail of the operation and promised that I would have 2 normal looking breasts. She kept her promise and I couldn’t be more pleased. She gave me back what cancer took away and it was comforting to finally feel a sense of normalcy once again.

Healing takes a while and the aspiration is a pain but all worth it in the end. I have some numbness around the area that was operated on and a scar that is hidden but other than that I am perfectly normal and still have good use of my arm.

Thank you to Dr Venter and Denise, for always making time during their busy schedule to answer questions.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in December 2015. A year later I was in remission. This was all due to the amazing team of doctors. Dr Venter is an amazing person. She is extremely professional yet sympathetic and caring. She listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions putting me at ease. She provided me with detailed information on all the options available to me. I had a double mastectomy with a double Latissimo Dorsi Flap. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and results. I had no discomfort or pain within my healing period. Within 5 weeks I was back at work. I would like to say thank you to Dr. Venter and her superb team. I have and would highly recommend you.

If I could start off with an introduction line it would be:

“If I had the choice I would only let Dr. Venter do surgery on me and no-one else”

The time that I was under Dr. Venter was a time in my life that I will certainly not forget, I at all times knew exactly where I was at and what the following steps would be. The professionalism of the practice is not a service that you will just get anywhere else. I had full trust in Dr. Venter and Denise who also gave me direction when required.

For total trust, commitment, professionalism and absolute support Dr. Venter is the “go To” surgeon and doctor.

You are in skilled and experienced hands I am a double board-certified Plastic Surgeon and General Surgeon and a member of the Association

After practicing as a Specialist General Surgeon at Groote Schuur Hospital and New Somerset Hospital in Cape Town, my passion for plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery lead me to Johannesburg. Here I completed the world-class training offered by WITS University and the

Johannesburg General Hospital in order to become a Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon.

I then completed a 3-month fellowship at the Unversity Ziekenhuis in Gent, Belgium.

During this time, I gained specialised experience in micro-surgical Breast reconstruction, micro-surgical Head and

Neck reconstruction and Cosmetic Surgery. I also spent time in Seoul, South Korea and Taiwan, further refining my knowledge of, and skill in, microsurgery.

Back in South Africa, I completed an 18-month apprenticeship in cosmetic surgery with one of Johannesburg’s most experienced and revered surgeons, Dr. Saul Braun, before embarking on my

I am highly competent and experienced in an array of cosmetic surgery procedures, including breast augmentation and lifts, rhinoplasty (nose jobs), facelifts and body contouring (tummy tucks and liposuction). I also specialise in non-surgical procedures such as Botox and fillers.

4worldlovers: Today’s frenetic lifestyle has many advantages, but also poses some new challenges, especially regarding our appearance. At no time in our history has a fresh, young look carried as much importance. Many new and refined surgical techniques have become available, and are justifiably offered with increased anaestheticThis safety. Perversely, this same lifestyle limits time off work and social interactions. This is where injectable cosmetic aids become so important.

When we try to use a muscle, our body sends electricity down nerves until the impulse reaches the end of the nerve. Here a special chemical (Acetylecholine) is sent across to the end plate of the muscle. Neurotoxin blocks the release of this chemical, and that particular muscle cannot contract anymore.

This excellent question stems from the fact that this Botox (neurotoxin) is the same as that produced by the Clostidium Botulinum Bacteria that causes botulism. The vital contrast is that Botox (neurotoxin) is injected and acts only on that specific muscle. Botulism as found in rotten meat is the bacteria itself that multiplies wildly and sends ever increasing amounts of this toxin all over the body. It is the difference between drinking some water and being submerged 100 metres under the surface of the ocean.

As we age, we get tell tale facial wrinkles. These are due to aging skin over a combination of lost fullness (senile atrophy), as well as repetitive use of muscles over the years. Fillers are great at replenishing our losses, but if the muscles are still contracting, the lines remain. This is the perfect time for Botox, and muscles are chosen that play no functional, only a cosmetic role. This is where choosing a caring and experienced Plastic Surgeon is vital to your safety as well as your perfect improvement. Dr. Shaw assesses your facial structure to address your particular concerns. This includes avoiding muscles that are still needed, or the “Hollywood masks” may result.

After minute volume injections to the treated area, you will not feel any different. Dr. Shaw emphasizes the fact that there is NO sensory change, so don’t expect to have any difference in feeling. Furthermore, bar a minute injection bump which disappears within minutes, there is initially no difference. Over about 72 hours, you just stop frowning (depending on where Dr. Shaw injects). The wrinkles that are caused by or deepened by these muscles (you can test in front of your mirror) disappear at this stage. Deep wrinkles that you have formed over years take longer (weeks) to disappear.

No. If your Botox is diluted with a lot of fluid, and a large volume is injected, this can spread to neighboring muscles. This is why Dr. Shaw accurately injects minute volumes of concentrated treatment into the exact muscles to be addressed.

This is influenced by a few factors. The principle influences are your physiology, muscle size and amount of Botox injected. Similar to alcohol tolerance, people vary in there ability to get muscle action again. In general, however, you can expect gradual return of wrinkles at 6 months. You then return for new treatment if you liked the result. The muscles and the wrinkles return exactly as before, with no other mystical changes.

Both are wonderful aids in Dr. Shaw’s Clinic, and are often used in conjunction. They do work differently, are selected to treat different areas and aim at different outcomes. They are therefore not competing, but assist each other in helping you.
