BIO

Dr. Michael Djan is an Ophthalmic Surgeon with a specialised focus in Cataract Refractive Surgery, Aesthetic Eye Surgery, and non-invasive Facial Aesthetics, including anti-wrinkle treatments, dermal fillers, and facial rejuvenation. His expertise has been refined through extensive training and experience over the past 21 years at renowned institutions across the globe, including London, Edinburgh, and India.

 

Dr. Djan earned his medical degree from the University of the Witwatersrand Medical School and completed his internship at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. It was during his community service year in East London that he discovered his passion for ophthalmic surgery, which he further pursued by obtaining a Diploma in Ophthalmology. His dedication to the field deepened during his residency at Tygerberg Hospital, where he honed his skills and eventually earned both a Fellowship of the College of Ophthalmology and a Master of Medicine degree from Stellenbosch University.

 

Driven by a commitment to staying at the forefront of ophthalmology, Dr. Djan also achieved a Master of Surgery degree from the University of Edinburgh. His contributions to the field have been recognised through his memberships in the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

 

Dr. Djan’s interest in non-invasive medical aesthetics grew from his passion for cosmetic eyelid surgery. He completed an Aesthetics Fellowship in the UK and is board certified member of the American Academy of Aesthetic medicine. Facial rejuvenation and anti- aging procedures are integral parts of the comprehensive treatment options he offers.

 

Based in the southern suburbs of Cape Town, Dr. Djan operates a practice dedicated to both ophthalmic surgery and facial aesthetics, where he continues to provide cutting-edge care to his patients.
