Natasha Van Zyl, MBChB, FRACS

Excellent, very professional made me feel very confident and at ease with the procedure.
Only wish i had done this 25years ago!! Very pleased with the end result. The procedure took less than an hour under a local anaesthetic with minimal discomfort.

I started seeing Natasha just after having my first baby in 2016, desperately wanting a breast reduction. Natasha was absolutely fantastic and gave me consistent and considerate advise that was in my best interests. She encouraged me to finish having babies and then come and see her and she would help me out straight away. After I had my third baby my breasts had grown to a HH. I was in pain everyday with my back and neck. As soon as I went back to see Natasha we made a plan and I had a bi-lateral breast reduction in July 2024. It was the best thing a could have done for myself and my family. I instantly felt relief and have not had pain since. Natasha was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. She explained everything in a clear and understandable way, answered all my questions with ease and made me feel well cared for and supported including in the post-op appointments. She is kind, caring, experienced and thorough. I highly recommend her and the procedure. I am a new woman and more available mother because of it.

Wanted this procedure for many years. Had 25 year old saline subglandular implants. Severe ptsosis really knocked my self esteem, painful in bras trying to ‘hoist’ them up and limited clothing choices. My mission was to get 3 quotes (as you do). The first two were male who came highly recommended. The third was Natasha who I canvassed myself after reading her profile particularly the impressive work she has done in nerve transfer surgery and spinal cord injury (my main concerns were nipple survival and scarring). I met with Natasha last and realised instantly that I needed a female perspective, understand and care. I appreciated Natasha’s cautious approach, and the care taken to answer the many questions I had that needed very detailed answers. I felt we were a team in the journey and was informed at all stages. I am extremely pleased with the results. I am in my fifties, 5ft2 and 48kgs. I wanted smallish implants and she listened without trying to upgrade me to 400cc like the male doctors who both stated “oh all women wish they’d gone bigger”.
The result? Are they perfect?
What’s perfect?
What I can tell you is that I look amazing, feel amazing, and the improvement cannot be measured in terms of perfection. It is measured in terms of how thrilled I am when I look at my perky breasts and no longer implode. I feel great, bras feel super comfortable and my wardrobe now includes all the items I’ve always shied away from buying in the past.
Natasha is a gifted surgeon (I can hardly see the scarring) and wonderful lady. Very professional and excellent bedside manner.
This procedure takes courage, take your time and go through a thorough selection process. I’m glad I did and chose accordingly. Natasha 10/10.
Thank you, love your work.

Dr van Zyl is just a beautiful soul who from day 1 of meeting her made me feel at ease with my diagnosis of breast cancer and she was so understanding of the devastating news I had received and having to have a double mastectomy that she explained thoroughly to me what was to come by in having breast implants put into my body .... I had 100 percent trust in Natasha with what my journey was about to start with my plastic surgery and she gave me confidence that I was going to look like I never lost my breasts from the beginning.... She is not just my professional surgeon she is my friend who gave me strength throughout all my confidence that I was going to look like I never lost my breasts from the beginning.... She is not just my professional surgeon she is my friend who gave me strength throughout all my operations... she is simply the best in the business

I was extremely fortunate to be referred to Natasha by my breast specialist. Natasha (and her staff) walked me through the journey of breast surgery, helping me to be fully informed with my decision. Her calm and confident manner reassured me and calmed my nerves. I was impressed with the high level of follow up care. I am very happy with the results.

Natasha was an absolute professional. I could not have been happier with my treatment, she even saw me on a Sunday afternoon at her surgery, which I was very grateful for.
Natasha did a wonderful job with my breast reduction and gave me great relief from the back and neck pain I was suffering from for years.
I would highly recommend Natasha Van Zyl.

I sat on the idea of getting a breast reduction for years before I committed - out of fear and finances.
Natasha Van Zyl and her team made me feel very comfortable and were patient with my while talking through the process. Under insurance, I was not out of pocket too much, the fee's were extremely reasonable. I came across an issue during recovery and Natasha was always responsive after hours and helped me get back on my recovery journey.

I love my small boobs - Thank you Natasha.

I always felt abnormal as my breast were abnormal, but from the first time I met Natasha she advised me and ensured I had the best outcome. Natasha was professional and understanding of my needs and concerns.. Natasha's work ethics were exceptional. I felt safe and secure in her hands. There were no surprises only positive outcomes. Thank you again for changing my life.

Highly recommend this amazing surgeon.

I feel extremely lucky that Natasha was my surgeon. From the beginning I knew I was in great hands- she was exceptionally thorough in making sure I was aware of what to expect before, during and after the surgery. I was listened to, and felt strongly at ease, and comforted in my decision to move forward with this procedure. Getting a breast reduction was something that I’d been longing for, for quite some time. I am forever grateful for Natasha’s absolute care and passion that she puts into her work. I finally feel more like myself, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Thanks so much to RealSelf...it was a review from here that led me to Natasha. From my first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. Natasha was very approachable and answered all my questions. Thanks also to Gayle on the desk who was very reassuring as I was rather apprehensive. The entire experience has been nothing like I imagined. I am now a little over 2 weeks post-op. I can't say I experienced any real pain...discomfort in the first day or so would be it. On Dr. Van Zyl's advice, I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights. Thanks to all the lovely nurses who cared for me! I must say the hospital I stayed at seemed more like a resort. I could not find fault there if I tried. I have gone from an F cup to perhaps a D or C... already my shoulders and upper back feel so light. I'm also surprised at the small amount of scarring I have at this early stage. I so wish I'd done this years ago...I'm 62... Thanks again to RealSelf and of course to Natasha.
