DR NERINA WILKINSON

DR WILKINSON'S GOAL AND PHYLOSOPHY
As one of South Africa’s small minority of female plastic surgeons, Dr Wilkinson, strives to provide the highest quality of care to her patients, whilst being attentive to her patients needs in helping them realize their aspirations. Her empathy combined with a compassionate and understanding approach induces not only comfort but, more importantly, patient confidence, under her treatment. She is uniquely qualified to connect with you as only another woman can. She brings to her cosmetic work a perceptive eye with a woman’s light touch.

Her philosophy: “I strive for natural looking results whilst enhancing a person’s appearance that ultimately can transform their whole outlook on life. Being part of this metamorphosis is the most important and pleasurable part of my work”
