Clinical Expertise
-
Aesthetic Surgery
Despite many negative media depictions of aesthetic surgery, most procedures do wonders: create remarkable physical improvements and revive self-esteem. Modern medicine can improve quality of life and make us feel better, not simply treat illnesses. In my practice, patients who have undergone successful cosmetic intervention are among the happiest and grateful patients I have had the privilege to treat.

Hand & Wrist Surgery
Hands are essential to our everyday functioning and wellbeing. Yet we usually only recognise how invaluable our hands are once they are injured or in pain. Trauma or just repetitive loading of the wrist, hands and fingers over the years may lead to premature wear and tear of its delicate structures - ligaments, joints and tendons. Look after your precious hands and seek advice if uncomfortable - many injuries and degenerative conditions are best tackled early.

Reconstructive Surgery
Plastic surgery is a fascinating specialty – it addresses clinical problems from head to toe and has been a wellspring of surgical creativity and innovations for centuries. Its fundamental principles – creative thinking, wise planning and delicate operating - represent a rock upon which a plastic surgeon’s mindset is set. A solid foundation upon which all other, additional subspecialist expertise is built upon.

Dear Miss Cerovac
Thank you so much for removing the cyst from my face. I was so worried about having it done as I was told so often that it couldn’t be removed. You made me feel very calm when I was nervous of the operation and you were very kind. This scar is amazing and I’m so glad I found you to do the operation for me. The whole process was so surprisingly easy, you are exceptionally talented. Thank you again so very much. Best wishes.
I was delighted with the outcome of the surgery to correct the Dupuytrens contracture of my right-hand little finger. This was the third time I had had surgery on that hand for this condition (previously performed by other surgeons) and I know that this kind of revision is much more challenging than the original operation.
As a musician and writer, I spend a lot of my time at different types of keyboard and having bent fingers is more than just a nuisance. This latest surgery has straightened the affected finger, which was bent to almost 90 degrees. Now, less than three weeks after the operation, I am using it almost as well as before the disease caused it to bend.
The skin graft has taken well and I am much relieved to know that this should act as a ‘firewall’, greatly reducing the likelihood of the condition recurring.
I was also very pleased with the post-operative care I received from the hand therapy unit at Epsom Hospital.
Many thanks for completing the procedure to remove the cyst from the top of my head. I could not be happier with the result. The care you took to explain everything as we went along made the experience far less stressful than I could have imagined. The wound is now completely healed and invisible to everyone other than my hair dresser! Perfect.
To Sonja, Thank you for my brilliant care and treatment. You were an absolute wonder ! Very best wishes,
I got a procedure done 2 months ago, very grateful that Sonja fit me in so quickly. I just wanted to say a big thank you as she really done a good job and the results are amazing. I have been sick recently so didn’t get around to booking a follow up. Please can you tell Sonja I am truly grateful for what she has done.
