Plastic and reconstructive surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at restoring form and function to the body. This includes both aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery — which is primarily elective — and reconstructive surgery, which addresses abnormalities caused by trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.
Dr Pillay treats a broad range of conditions including skin cancers, burns injuries, breast conditions, body contouring concerns, cleft lip and palate, craniofacial deformities, and trauma-related injuries requiring reconstruction. He also performs elective aesthetic procedures.
Dr Pillay consults from the Sessional Suite on the Lower Ground Floor of Ethekwini Hospital and Heart Centre, located at 11 Riverhorse Drive, Riverhorse Valley Business Estate, Durban. Surgical procedures are performed at the same facility.

Cover varies depending on the nature of the procedure and your medical aid scheme. Reconstructive procedures are generally covered when deemed medically necessary. Elective cosmetic procedures are typically not covered. Please contact our rooms or your medical aid scheme directly for guidance on your specific case.
During your initial consultation, Dr Pillay will review your medical history, discuss your concerns and goals in detail, and carry out a clinical assessment. He will then outline the most appropriate treatment options and answer any questions you may have. There is no obligation to proceed following the consultation.
Preparation varies depending on the procedure. Dr Pillay’s team will provide you with detailed pre-operative instructions prior to your procedure. This typically includes guidance on medications, fasting, and post-operative care arrangements.
