Dr Dehan Struwig, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon

Dr Dehan Struwig, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon My mission: Exceptional care, trust and best outcomes. I approach my patients with compassion and understanding.

As a qualified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, I strive for excellence, attention to detail, and an uncompromising commitment to patient care. I am respected and acknowledged for my personal availability, my hands-on approach and support of my patients before and after surgery. I enjoy the diversity of plastic and reconstructive surgery. My commitment to treating patients with traumatic injurie

s hones and improves my cosmetic surgery skills. My trauma work consists of hand injuries of factory workers and burns injuries. Still, it often includes dog bites, lacerations, and other injuries sustained by children and adults alike. Cosmetic surgery allows me to assist and improve where nature has intervened. My passions are surgical and non-surgical cosmetic surgery of the face and cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery. I also perform abdominoplasty and liposuction procedures. Skin cancer surgery forms an integral part of my practice. I have an integrated approach to plastic and reconstructive surgery. An outstanding team of nurses, healthcare professionals, and admin staff support me. As the skin is my canvas, a Skincare Diagnostic Technician assists me with skin care advice and treatments. My support team shares my ethos and commitment to patient care. I completed my studies at the University of Stellenbosch Medical School and Cape Town Medical School in Cape Town. After my studies, I completed a fellowship in Paris, France, under Dr. Francoise Firmin. Here I gained in-depth experience and training in cosmetic surgery techniques and learned the skill of reconstructing deformities of the outer ear. Before committing to private practice, I visited various medical institutions in England, Europe, and the United States of America to learn more about professional patient care and practice management.

Plastic surgery may not be a magical fountain of youth, and it is not going to make a patient in their 60s look like they are in their 20s again, but with strategic and thoughtful planning, patients entering their golden years are making their own rules and aging on their own terms.

An interesting concept called... science!

A "chemical" is any substance made of matter. That means mineral sunscreen ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are chemicals, too.

Science doesn't care what's trending.

Our best advice? Wear the sunscreen you like enough to use every day and don't let misinformation leave your skin unprotected.

Expose the truth, not your skin.
