Plastic surgery can be life changing. My web site, like my practice, aims to make your plastic surgery experience as easy and positive as possible.

I am an experienced plastic surgeon. I work with a small, dedicated team, and together, we will care for you from start to finish. Apart from some social responsibility work (for children with cleft lip and palate), my practice is exclusively cosmetic surgery.

My philosophy is to keep things simple, that less can be more, that safety is paramount and that the patient – you – come first. My goal is satisfied patients. Satisfaction is achieved when your expectations are met and you achieve your goals. Satisfied patients are what keep me happy in my work and my practice busy.

I don’t market on RealSelf anymore, but here are some reviews:

RealSelf Patient Reviews of Dirk Lazarus, MD

Dr. Lazarus

Operation Smile mission, Feb 2014, on the Cavour, an Italian aircraft carrier. It docked in Cape Town and we did some cleft surgery on board. In the picture above I am giving a TV interview. Not sure why I am looking so battle weary!

A note on before and after pictures

Many plastic surgeons display large galleries of before and after pictures on their websites. Plastic surgeons in South Africa are discouraged from doing so according to our HPCSA guidelines. Patient confidentiality is important to me and my practice and therefore I have limited my site to display only a handful of before and after pictures merely to demonstrate typical patients and usual outcomes. All pictures are of my own patients and displayed with consent from the patient. A picture is worth a thousand words and the internet is a visual medium. I believe that the pictures add value and they are displayed with the intent of helping patients and prospective patients better understand a procedure. I do not email a bunch of pictures to patients making enquiries either. I will, however, show you the before and after galleries at the time of consultation. I hope this approach is understood.

Incredible Doctor

I saw Dr Lazarus 3 years ago for BA. I am so pleased by his work, his professionalism and that of his entire staff and clinic. I came all the way from Canada and was not disappointed. Even after so much time every time I’m in CT I’m welcomed with a free follow up,. He is highly skilled and gives incredible advise and the atmosphere is very helpful and supportive .
Thank you again Dr Lazarus

“I hope you are doing well.
I had breast surgery with you about twenty years ago and I have to say that I am still satisfied and impressed with the work you did. It has really been one of the best decisions i have made with your help. I have also breastfed my son for a year with an abundance of milk and without any issues.
I would like to have the blepharoplasty surgery done on my upper lids since I have a lot of excess skin and I’m always looking tired and older than my age. I would like to have this procedure done with you because i know the exceptional quality of your work and I trust you completely.”

BEST EXPERIENCE
27 yrs, Female, CT Local, 7 star treatment

“Being a little nervous for my procedure prior to surgery, I resulted in feeling very safe in the hands of Dr Lazarus and his team, who are by far the most attentive medical practitioners that I have ever experienced. From the moment you walk into his practice, you feel as though you are at home. From my consultation period, right through to the follow up consultations post surgery, the Tranquility Clinic team have been incredible- always available for any questions and extremely patient and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr Lazarus and couldn’t thank him enough for the incredible artwork that he has created for me.”

“This plastic surgeon is excellent, his team friendly, supportive and exceptional. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. Utterly trustworthy , knowledgeable, experienced and professional with quality aftercare and always accessible after surgery. My results were beyond my expectation and I am only in the first month of recovery. I entrusted Dr D with my one daughter and another will be undergoing a procedure with him. They are a caring family; unpretentious…sincere from beginning to end.”
