Testimonials

"The only regret I have is not having the procedure done sooner."

"Gynaecomastia is probably one of the most uncomfortable battles I have had to fight. Only men who have experienced it will understand the challenges it brings. Buying t-shirts, swimming in summer, walking around in a vest etc. to name a few, is never just as straightforward as it would be for other guys, and also due to the nature of my work, it could be painful at times. I have struggled with this since a young age and eventually learnt to accept it. So at the age of the 32 when I finally met Dr Liezl du Toit. She informed me that this was removable by excision; this was the best news I have received in a while.

She explained all my options and I received fantastic assistance from Dr du Toit, with regards to explaining the procedure, the anaesthetics, hospital etc.

I decided to have the procedure done, and today, three weeks after my surgery, I am amazed by the results. I knew that I would be satisfied, but this is much more than expected. There has been a fantastic improvement in my chest area with regards to shape and lines, which were hidden due to Gynaecomastia, even though I was spending a lot of time in the gym. I am amazed by the brilliant work, Dr du Toit has done to help me look
and feel better."

"The results were mind-boggling, and I have never looked back."

"My name is Tracey. I fell pregnant with my first child at the age of 18, and I carried very big for someone of my size. I gained 25kg, and the toll it took on my body was devastating. I carried around the excess stretched skin around my waist for some 14 years having to wear a size bigger to accommodate it. But then I met Dr Liezel du Toit, and she changed my life. After consulting with her, she agreed that I was a candidate for an abdominoplasty. I opted for the surgery. Her after surgery care was fantastic; I couldn't have asked for more! If you are looking to have surgery, look no further, you have come to the right place."

Tracey

"I would recommend Dr Liezl for any kind of reconstruction as she does an excellent job and helps with the physical recovery after cancer as well as the psychological recovery."

"My name is Collette, and I met Dr Liezl Du Toit in 2013 when I needed to have a mastectomy due to cancer. She was referred to me by my surgeon, and she was the only cosmetic surgeon who was willing to perform this op without overcharging and leaving me in debt after the op. I had the mastectomy and got an expander which was to be removed a few months later for the final reconstruction. I had my last op in May 2014. She performed a tummy tuck and reconstructed my left breast, It looks incredible. She is a very compassionate and humane surgeon. She puts one at ease. She ensures that the patient understands every aspect of what she does. If Dr Liezl wants to use any of my pics, it will be an honour. Thanks again for everything you are amazing."

"I am delighted with my final result and finally feel I have the confidence I have needed for so long."

"I underwent a breast augmentation... I was extremely flat-chested and wanted to try augmentation to boost my self-confidence after a divorce. Dr Du Toit assisted me in advising me on the best product as well as size for my body shape. Most importantly, she gave me the best advice for sizing and product to suit my body and not just go bigger and better."
