His approach

Personalised Plastic Surgery with Dr Padilha

Situated in two practices in Johannesburg, Dr Padilha’s holistic, human-centred approach to plastic surgery focuses on the patient, not just the procedure. Plastic surgery, in his eyes, is a deeply personal journey that extends far beyond the operation itself. By taking the time to understand who his patients are and what they envision, he enhances their natural beauty without diminishing their individuality.

It is not simply about changing how you look, but about transforming how you feel. The result is balance, confidence, and a version of yourself that feels authentic and whole.

Specialist in Body Contouring

With a skilled eye and attention to proportion, he creates results that complement each patient’s natural form. It’s never one-size-fits-all, but rather a specialised, personal approach focused on shaping, refining, and enhancing in ways that feel authentic and in harmony with the individual.

Real Results from Real People

You’re not the only one wanting to feel more confident in your appearance. Many patients have come to Dr Padilha with a vision in mind, and he’s helped them achieve results that look natural and feel authentic.

What our patients say

" Fantastic job done on forearm after a big and nasty dogbite …. 12 months on and no scar visible. Thank you !! "

Wendy Robertson

" I had a good experience with the liposuction procedure that I did at Dr Padilha’s rooms. The Anaesthetist was very very friendly, the nurses also. The outcome of the procedure was good. I did it on March 11th, 2022. I’m now feeling confident in my own body. "

Peace

" Dr Padilha is an excellent Plastic Surgeon, he has an extremely gentle touch, making botox painless and easy, not to mention it’s precision, time and time again. Consultation with him is an immense pleasure as his bedside manner is something I wish most Dr’s would note and emulate. From start to finish, interaction with Dr Padilha is nothing but excellent. I am so appreciative and would highly recommend him as a surgeon, from his empathetic nature and awesome bedside manner to his precision and acute skill, he is an amazing Dr. "

Charlotte Marcinko

" An Exceptional and Deeply Caring Doctor. We have been seeing Dr Padilha for my son over the last four years, and I can truly say he is the most caring and accommodating surgeon we have ever encountered. He has gone completely above and beyond for us, even seeing us after hours during times of crisis when we felt incredibly vulnerable. Dr Padilha does not just perform a surgery and walk away; he stays by your side through the entire journey, carrying immense burdens behind the scenes just to ensure his patients get the care they need. His wonderful receptionist, Bernaley, is also an absolute angel—so amazing, kind, and supportive throughout it all. We are deeply grateful from the bottom of our hearts for this practice. "
