How Much Does Cosmetic Surgery Cost in South Africa?

Dr Danie Hoffmann3 min read

Ranges vary widely by procedure, hospital and implant. Written quotes are provided after examination — never before.

A written surgical quote in this practice includes the surgeon fee, the anaesthetist fee, the hospital and theatre fee, and where relevant the implants or consumables. Precise numbers depend on the procedure, the hospital, the length of theatre time and the implant chosen.

Rhinoplasty, breast augmentation and abdominoplasty all sit within a broad range that is best communicated in a formal quote after examination, rather than as a headline figure that will not match your case. Ballpark ranges given over the phone are almost always wrong for the individual patient.

For self-funding patients, the rooms will provide a single written quote covering every fee, including one or two follow-up visits. There are no hidden add-ons at discharge.

Educational content only. Results vary between individuals and all surgery carries risk. Every plan begins with an unhurried consultation and an examination — never a quote over the phone.

Reading is a start. The next step is an individual examination and a written surgical plan — never a quote over the phone.
