Dr Landau is a specialist plastic surgeon based at the Life Kingsbury Hospital, Cape Town. Dr Landau has practiced as a specialist Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon both locally and in the UK. He trained at UCT and additional specialist training was pursued in London during which time he had the opportunity to work with world-renowned Plastic Surgeons who had built their cosmetic practices on a career in complex reconstructive surgery. He learnt new approaches and techniques in a broad range of plastic surgical challenges and he has built his private practice on this philosophy. Dr Landau's reconstructive areas of expertise and interest include the surgical management skin cancers (melanoma and basal cell carcinomas) and he still holds a sessional teaching consultant post at Groote Schuur Hospital where he runs the skin cancer service and trains young plastic surgeons. His interests in cosmetic surgery focus on body contour surgery, particularly liposculpture, tummy tuck, breast surgery and he also forms part of the Chrysalis Bariatric Team where he specialises in post bariatric body contour surgery. Dr Landau is an avid artist and enjoys spending leisure time relaxing with a canvas and oil colours. He is happily married and a father of four beautiful children. His approach to family, friends and patients is based on sincerity, honesty and discipline. Performing an operation on someone is a huge responsibility and privilege that requires the total trust and confidence from the patient and he tries to treat each patient as if he/she were one's own family.
