Message from the President, Dr Stuart Geldenhuys

​

Welcome to the website of The Society of Rhinoplasty Surgeons of South Africa (SORSSA). 

Our PURPOSE at SORSSA is the pursuit of EXCELLENCE IN RHINOPLASTY.

It is widely acknowledged that Rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging and complex surgical procedures requiring a lifetime of dedication to achieve consistently optimal results. Rhinoplasty has also evolved significantly in the last decade and will undoubtedly continue to do so, requiring ongoing training in this super-speciality.

SORSSA is a unique association of Plastic and Reconstructive, ENT and Maxilo-Facial Surgeons dedicated to perfecting the practice of Rhinoplasty. Its diversity, across several surgical specialities as well as the depth of expertise shared across the SORSSA platform enables its members to achieve better results for their patients.

 

SORRSA’s key objectives:

 

• To promote the highest standards of professional skill and competence among rhinoplasty surgeons. 

• To create an inclusive, non-political forum for fellow colleagues, dedicated to the study of Rhinoplasty in South Africa. To learn from one another to achieve excellence in Rhinoplasty.

• To co-operate with other surgical associations and specialities both locally and abroad for the advancement of knowledge in the field of rhinoplasty.

 

 

SORSSA has since its inception provided several interactive platforms to achieve its objectives;

 

• An annual Rhinoplasty Congress 

 

• Exciting Webinars featuring international guests and experts in rhinoplasty surgery  

  • ‘Lockdown Tuesdays’ and ‘Thursdays’

SORSSA continuously strives to create exciting learning opportunities for its  members and Rhinoplasty enthusiasts. It is through these interactive engagements that SORSSA has been able to improve the quality of rhinoplasties performed in South Africa.

 

SORSSA’s value to patients:

Patients consider rhinoplasty surgery for a variety of reasons; typically because of breathing difficulties or to enhance their nasal appearance and frequently both. As a prospective rhinoplasty patient it is important to understand that rhinoplasty surgery, being one of the most intricate and challenging procedures to perform, requires a surgeon dedicated to this super-speciality to achieve optimal and constant  results. All members listed on the SORSSA website represent surgeons who are dedicated to our objectives. SORSSA is committed to  continue to develop the content on its website to provide basic rhinoplasty information.
