South Africa clinic register — plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, checked register by register
For every clinic we check who the responsible physician is, whether the official registers confirm the specialist certification and licence, whether the facility and the legal entity can be traced, whether the clinic publishes its own identifiers, and whether its advertising stays honest. We do not assess treatment outcomes, skill or complications, and nothing here is medical advice.
How the score is built → · Registers we check against
19 clinics with a published score · data last refreshed 20 September 2026
Score = weighted average of the axes that hold a value, on a 0–100 scale, per the open methodology. A score is published only when at least 75% of the axis weight is sourced. Axis cells show the 1–5 rubric value.
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
