The Association of Plastic, Reconstructive
and Aesthetic Surgeons of South Africa

Welcome to the website of the plastic surgeons of South Africa.
Our members are all specialist plastic and reconstructive surgeons, registered as such with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).

Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons in Southern Africa wishing to apply for membership to APRASSA can start the application process by completing our New Member Registration Form.

We represent the vast majority of specialist plastic surgeons in South Africa. You can find individual members listed on our site and you can be reassured that if a surgeon is listed here, they are a properly registered plastic surgeon and in good standing. Members of the public should be aware, that because of the popularity of plastic surgery, there are doctors offering plastic surgery, especially cosmetic surgery, but who are not specialist plastic surgeons. Please beware, this is in contravention of HPCSA rule 21 and we would caution prospective patients to thoroughly check the credentials of any surgeon they are considering.

Plastic surgery is a diverse and innovative field. We reconstruct deformities from trauma, cancer, birth defects and other causes, and we are renown for our skills in making our patients look younger and more beautiful!

Enjoy our site, we hope you find it useful. Feel free to reach out to us and we will endeavour to help. Please note that we will not refer you to a plastic surgeon or make specific recommendations as to which plastic surgeon you should see.
