Johannesburg - This week we feature surgeon to the stars and one of South Africa’s most popular cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons, Dr Deon Weyers.
Weyers is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a private practice at Fourways Life Hospital in Johannesburg.
His passion for cosmetic procedures led him to obtain additional experience in Vaser Lipo training in Colombia. He is a key opinion leader in non- and minimal invasive treatments such as neurotoxin injections.
He specialises in a very popular procedure known as the Mommy Makeover. This procedure includes a breast lift, breast augmentation, liposuction and tummy tuck.
You are able to do cosmetic surgery on any celebrity in the world. Who do you choose?
I already have such a patient, she is South African with an international reach. I understand the culture and desires. She has a near-perfect body and ideal genes, and small enhancements created very desirable results.
Your definition of beauty is…
What arouses the senses. Physical beauty is the ideal proportions, but that does not mean that someone with a good body is attractive. As a plastic surgeon I can strive to create beautiful bodies, but true attractiveness comes from self-confidence.
The one thing most people don’t know about you is…
I did professional music theatre for Artscape before qualifying as a medical doctor.

If I’ve not had a worst date, does that mean that I was the worst date all along?!
