Dr. Gideon Maresky

Dr Maresky is very professional,friendly and very patient with his patients. I fully recommend him.

From the moment I met Dr. Maresky, whom I now simply call "G," I felt all my pre-consult nervousness, which one typically brings into a plastic surgeon's office, dissipate. In no time, it felt as if I was talking to a friend.

Naturally, I had a long list of "wants" (this was my opportunity to become Brad Pitt's twin!). However, with much patience, Dr. G thoroughly explained the process, and procedure, and ended with his personal and professional recommendations. We settled on a lower lid blepharoplasty with fat grafts to be placed in the hollows under my eyes.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from the surgery, but I just hoped for a fair result. However, the actual result blew my mind! While the change is significant, it is also so incredibly natural that I am yet to be asked if I've had any work done. I've had people say, "Wow, you're looking great! You look so well-rested/peaceful."

Dr. G's bedside manner is amazing, as is his personal post-surgery patient contact care. I've already lined up a friend to book a procedure with him. He is now my 'go-to' plastic surgeon.

I travelled internationally for my procedures with Dr. Maresky because he was outstanding from the very first consultation.
I’m quite anxious and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring I felt comfortable and fully informed. Instead of just following my initial requests, he used his expertise to help me determine the best course of action for my goals.

Throughout the process, he was not only highly professional but also warm, kind, and fun to interact with—both for me and my friends and family. He went above and beyond to make sure all my concerns were answered. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’m so grateful for his competence and care! Highly recommend.

My first plastic surgery ever (breast augmentation with a lift). I'm so glad to have found Doctor Maresky. He was very quick to respond to any question and concern I had, and has been very helpful and patient with me. I am beyond satisfied with the results (7 weeks post-op now). Will recommend Dr. Maresky to anyone, including my family and friends.

First meeting. Loved Dr Mareskys humour. Put me at ease immediately. Need to book an appointment when I get back from England. Blepharoplasty so much less expensive than in the UK and good reviews of Dr Maresky.

Dr. Maresky first interviewed me online about 6 months ago, after I had read all his reviews. I always found him honest, and very direct and provides excellent feedback and guidance through what is essentially putting your life in someone’s hands.

We discussed each step in the surgical process and with his guidance, I was able to address all of the trauma injuries which I had for many years after 6 and a half hours of surgery I was able to begin the road to recovery. It takes an extraordinary skill to do what Dr. Maresky does to the very highest level and he is absolutely one of the best regardless of your skin tone, black or white.

That is an unusual and rare skill. I would highly recommend treatment with Dr Maresky, you are in capable skilled hands, and the entire medical team at Christian Barnard Hospital Capetown were superb.

I spent a month pre- and especially post-surgery. I even had a nurse Mercy to care for me for the first few days post-op. Which was very reassuring. I believe that I have had one of the best plastic surgeons in the world. No regrets.

Dr. Maresky is an absolutely amazing surgeon. I had 2 procedures done by him in 2023: A tummy tuck, and later a chin and lower face lift. He takes his time to explain procedures to you, and to answer all your questions. I felt absolutely safe and comfortable in his capable hands. After the procedures, he was always available to contact, and always got back to me immediately if I had questions about anything. He is humble and friendly, and just simply a stunning person. I would recommend him anytime to anyone who wants to have any of his procedures done.

A few weeks ago, I was treated by Dr Maresky. What an absolute pleasure it was to have my lower-eye bags treated successfully. From the consultation phase beyond the procedure - the attention to detail and care, all professionals involved in the service offering (starting with consultation, booking, and procedure, are at a top-notch level. I recommend Dr Maresky to anyone.

Almost a month ago I had a simultaneous "trigger" release of both the ring and middle fingers of my dominant hand. By agreement it was done using a "unique" technique due to my adverse reactions to anaesthesia, medication and other materials.

Dr Maresky's parting instruction to me from the recovery room was: "Use the hand!" I was using this dominant hand that same evening and have not stopped using it almost pain free ever since! Generally, I am most apprehensive about having to see, much less be treated by unknown doctors and surgeons. My medical situation is extensive and complex, and few TRULY LISTEN and TRUST my "story".

However, from the outset, Dr Maresky put me at ease, asked important questions, examined both hands thoroughly, and answered all my questions. I knew without a doubt I was in the best hands, no pun intended. Even while waiting for my appointment, as patients left or arrived, I had the opportunity to observe a genuinely sincere, caring and cheerful surgeon.

His disposition remained the same with each interaction I had with him. Dr Maresky comes with my highest recommendation, full respect, and most sincere appreciation.

I had a neglected (over 2 years due to COVID) permanently bent finger known as ‘Dupuytren's contraction. Dr M was most reassuring and informative with a relaxing, friendly manner. Prognosis, due to the long-standing nature of the condition was given as around an acceptable 75% return to normality - The final result was nearer 100% with minimal scarring. A big thumbs up to Dr M for the whole experience. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team.

I’d like to thank Dr Maresky for all his care & attention when performing my lower face & chin lift 6 months ago. The result is better than I could have hoped for. I look & feel 10 years younger! No scarring evidence to suggest a procedural was performed! It has really boosted my confidence.

Dr Maresky is one of the best! I'm more than happy with my breast augmentation. He did such a great job, even better than what I expected. He made me feel comfortable with the whole procedure and would recommend him to anyone looking to have any cosmetic work done.

___S.A's Finest Surgeon___

Dr. Maresky is truly that,.. if you want a trustworthy surgeon who aims to deliver top results, he is the surgeon for the job. Based on previous reviews I took a chance going to him, this being my first surgery I was overly anxious and had many questionable doubts the obvious one "Am I doing the right thing?"...

So, based on Dr's reviews which granted me a contentment I took a giant leap of faith and underwent the rhinoplasty. Rest assured this was one of the best decisions I've made.

To those thinking of going ahead with whatever surgery...

"Be a little selfish, feel free to tell him exactly what you want, his realistic has a sense of humour and knows how to make you feel comfortable.
Lastly, his work is worth every penny so if you're like me & just a Lil afraid, just for once take the chance on you."
