About

Practising from Melrose Estate in Johannesburg, Prof. Chrysis Sofianos is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who performs the deep plane facelift — a technique that repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than pulling on skin alone. As of October 2026, DeepPlane.com lists Prof. Chrysis Sofianos among the surgeons offering this procedure in South Africa's largest city.

Prof. Chrysis Sofianos works across both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, with facial rejuvenation forming one part of a broader surgical scope. The practice website at cs.surgery presents the face lift alongside eyelid, nose and ear procedures.

The deep plane facelift is the surgical focus most relevant to patients who find this profile. This approach addresses facial aging at the level of the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a sheet of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin) rather than treating the skin surface in isolation.

Prof. Chrysis Sofianos offers virtual consultations and an online photo review through the practice, according to the practice website. These tools allow prospective patients to begin the conversation before travelling to Johannesburg in person.

The practice describes itself as using Crisalix 3D imaging for consultations. This technology, attributed to the practice's own materials, lets patients preview possible outcomes in three dimensions during planning.

Facial rejuvenation through the deep plane method aims for a natural repositioning of tissue rather than a tightened appearance. Prof. Chrysis Sofianos presents the face lift within a practice that also covers blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and the lip lift, procedures often considered alongside a facelift.

Prof. Chrysis Sofianos carries the academic title of Professor, as presented on the practice website and in media appearances. DeepPlane.com attributes this title to the surgeon's own published materials rather than to an independent registry.

The surgeon's reconstructive work spans breast reconstruction, craniofacial surgery, cleft lip and palate repair, and skin cancer excision, according to the practice website. This reconstructive grounding is common among surgeons who also perform complex facial aesthetic work.

Patients considering Prof. Chrysis Sofianos should understand what a deep plane facelift involves before consultation. The procedure lifts the SMAS and underlying tissue as a single unit, which differs from older techniques that tightened skin over a fixed foundation.

A thorough consultation is central to the deep plane approach Prof. Chrysis Sofianos presents. Candidacy depends on skin quality, facial anatomy and individual goals rather than age alone, and planning is tailored to each patient.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift generally unfolds over several weeks, with swelling and bruising easing through the first fortnight. Prof. Chrysis Sofianos's practice provides aftercare guidance as part of the surgical pathway, according to its published patient-experience materials.

Johannesburg gives Prof. Chrysis Sofianos a base in a major international travel hub. The city is served by OR Tambo International Airport, one of Africa's busiest, which simplifies arrival for patients coming from elsewhere on the continent and overseas.

DeepPlane.com presents this profile so that patients can weigh Prof. Chrysis Sofianos against other deep plane facelift surgeons using consistent, comparable information. Where a detail is not held on record, the profile says so plainly rather than filling the gap.

Prospective patients are encouraged to verify any credential directly with the relevant South African registry. Prof. Chrysis Sofianos's standing is best confirmed through official sources alongside the material presented here.

10 Stars!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are considering plastic or reconstructive surgery, you HAVE TO see Prof. Sofianos. I am actually speechless at how absolutely incredible he is. From my first consultation through to surgery day, it was clear that his care and concern for his patients were unlike anything I have ever experienced with any medical professional. His bedside manner and kindness are genuinely rare; he listened, he took his time, and he made me feel completely safe and confident every step of the way. And the results? They are amazing!!! (As of now, 2 weeks post-op)-I know it can only get better!! He is not just a surgeon, he is an artist… actually better than any artist or magician could ever be. I am so overwhelmed with joy at how everything looks, and I am beyond excited to see how it all heals and settles. I don't say this lightly: Prof. Sofianos is, without a question, one of the most exceptional professionals I have ever met in my life. Then we get on to his team with whom I dealt … amazing too!! Cheryl the receptionist, is so proficient and organised. She is able to get everything sorted in a matter of minutes and is so quick to respond to any issues that occurred over WhatsApp easily and effortlessly. Nurse Karen is amazing!! She has a soft touch and amazing way of dealing with patients concerns, issues and worries. She made me (someone who doesn’t love blood and ooze) feel calm and relaxed when removing the plasters and seeing the stitches for the first time. If you're on the fence, stop scrolling — book with him!! You will not regret it. Cannot recommend him and his team enough 🙌

My procedure took place on 23 June 2025, when I underwent an explantation (implant removal), capsulectomy and mastopexy. I waited a year before publishing this review because healing takes time, and I wanted to allow my body to recover fully before assessing the final results. I am delighted to say that I am extremely impressed and comfortable with the final outcome. The results have fully exceeded my expectations, and I feel truly blessed and humbled by the full experience! Prof. is exceptionally professional, caring and knowledgeable, with an incredible bedside manner. He listens carefully, understands his patients’ needs and remains patient and reassuring, even during moments when I may have been difficult or anxious directly with him. His skill and dedication to his work are remarkable. Although this was a very complex procedure, he gave me the complete peace of mind and made me feel confident that I was in excellent hands throughout the entire process, beginning to end. Prof. was the second surgeon I consulted, and I ultimately chose him because of his honesty and transparency, qualities that are extremely important to me. Before meeting him, another surgeon had left me deeply distressed by revealing to me and my husband that I would have no breast tissue remaining, would be completely flat-chested and could not undergo explantation without receiving a new set of replacement implants. This was completely against what I wanted and left me feeling anxious and depressed for several months not knowing what I would look like leading up to the current surgery with Prof. Thankfully, my experience with Prof. was entirely different. What I feared would be a very difficult and disappointing outcome turned out, through God’s guidance, to be far more positive than I could ever have expected! I am truly grateful and blessed that my path led me to Prof! Prof. and his entire team are absolutely amazing! I have confidently referred others to him and will continue to do so. Those I have referred have also had positive experiences and have been extremely happy with the care they received. If you choose Prof., you can expect honesty, professionalism, compassion and exceptional care! You will not be disappointed!

I saw another review where someone mentioned asking Prof countless questions. I think I must have been a close second! From the very first consultation to all the follow-up appointments, I asked what felt like an endless number of questions, and Prof patiently answered every single one of them with kindness and professionalism. Like many patients, I was terrified before surgery. Prof listened to my concerns, gave me realistic expectations, and confidently assured me that he could deliver the result I was hoping for. He did exactly that. The result has exceeded my expectations, and the care I received throughout the entire journey has been exceptional. If I had to describe Prof in one word, it would be: magician. Thank you, Prof, for your incredible skill, patience, and genuine care.
