My interest in Plastic Surgery begun in my early medical school years and whilst doing my surgical internship in Natal I was exposed to a few interesting cases which ignited my interest.
Also having had the opportunity to attend plastic reconstructive clinics with the renown Dr. Wolf Losken influenced me.
The single most fascinating thing about Plastic Surgery is the fact that the surgeon has freedom of expression.

Essentially, having a liking of art and an aesthetic eye, in particular for good sculpture, edged me towards this most fascinating specialty.
Currently my super-specialty is rhinoplasty surgery.
I think that this is the epitome of fine surgical skills.

So the challenge is to understand the patients’ expectations and ensure that they understand that you as the surgeon can achieve them as close as possible.
This is not easy as it is probably the most important interaction, which occurs between patient and surgeon. The realism of expectations. This takes time and care.
When I feel that I am not connecting on this level with the patient, I take a step back and having a checklist, I regroup my thoughts and begin again.
I have found that this plan always works and the connection is then established.
