"I honestly can’t thank Dr. Skoll enough! From the very first consultation to my surgery and now recovery, he has been absolutely incredible. His care, professionalism, and attention to detail made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I’m obsessed with my results eeeeeeppp truly beyond what I imagined! Dr. Skoll is not only an amazing surgeon but also such a cool and genuine person. I can’t wait to see him again soon and give him the biggest hug for changing my life in the best way possible! Highly, highly recommend him to anyone considering surgery, you’ll be in the best hands!"

"Meticulous, precise, professional and consistent. This is how I would describe Dr Paul Skoll and his approach to his vocation. Dr Skoll was the third surgeon I consulted in lieu of my breast revision surgery and I suppose 3rd time’s a charm - a very fortunate and successful one. After having breastfed my two children for a combined total of 26 months, in addition to having had breast augmentation in my 20’s, as a now 43 year old woman, breast revision surgery was necessary, not just for aesthetics, but to replace the existing silicone. I am (proudly) South African and I live abroad, in Europe. I attended two consultations, with two different surgeons, where I live and I could have had the surgery with either one of them, but my feeling, based on email correspondence with Dr Skoll was an avenue that I further wanted to pursue. In addition, South Africa has an incredible medical industry, which I trust implicitly - having lived in cities like Vienna, London and Frankfurt. Firstly Dr Skoll is very personable, his response rate is immediate and his professional conduct leaves one reassured that you will be in capable medical hands - literally and physically. He does not pawn you off to staff - HE is the first point of contact and available to you when you need him. Dr Skoll is first and foremost a medical professional and he has an impeccable bedside manner. It is evident by his professional demeanour that he is not in this profession for its perceived glamour - he genuinely cares about his patients, getting the best results for the individual and advising his patients on a responsible medical perspective and not one which is driven by upselling - even if the patient tries to sneak in unnecessary procedures; Dr Skoll offers responsible and reasonable advice regarding unnecessary excess. He comes across as someone who studied medicine, because he genuinely wants to help people - evidently based on his work performing children’s cleft palate surgeries to underprivileged families. 8 Days after my surgery and after diligently following his exact instructions along with ample rest, I was bikini-ready and felt great. My recovery has been an incredible, almost unbelievably smooth journey. My skin is prone to keloid, but the precise incisions, which were meticulously and seamlessly merged with the first ones of 20 years ago, have been so skilfully crafted by this magician. It’s been 5 weeks and I am incredibly pleased with the results. To be honest, I was already happy the day of surgery and when leaving the clinic. His support team also deserves a shoutout. Vanessa, his lovely assistant and his amazing anaesthetists, Drs Kriel and Van Zyl, who made me feel even more comfortable and reassured, are absolute gems. In conclusion, I would highly and 110% recommend Dr Paul Skoll. If not just for his skilful talents, but because he is a truly responsible medical professional in a world where integrity is often compromised for instant gratification. He stands out as a fine example of medicine being practised ethically and responsibly."

"I had an upper blepharoplasty with Dr. Skoll, and the results speak for themselves. It honestly feels like I’ve had a mini facelift, and my confidence has increased so much. This photo is an incredible reminder of the difference it has made. If I were to recommend just one procedure, this would be it — affordable, highly effective, and truly transformative. Dr. Skoll was wonderful to work with: approachable, easy to talk to, and he made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process."

"After my bilateral mastectomy, I had breast reconstruction done by Dr. Skoll, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work he has done. Breasts are everything to a woman, they are deeply tied to our confidence, identity, and femininity and Dr. Skoll restored that for me. From the very first consultation, he was professional, compassionate, and took the time to explain every step of the process with care and patience. His skill, precision, and artistry are evident in my results. I feel whole again and truly happy with the outcome. Thank you, Dr. Skoll, for giving me back not only my physical form but also my confidence. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering breast reconstruction surgery. Aviwe"

"I can’t recommend Dr Skoll enough. From the very beginning, he made me feel completely comfortable and genuinely cared about what was best for me. He really takes the time to listen and makes sure you feel confident and informed every step of the way. He has such a great sense of humour too, which made the whole experience feel so much more relaxed and reassuring. I am so thrilled with my results from my breast augmentation — they look incredibly natural and exactly what I wanted. It’s honestly been such a confidence boost. Thank you, Dr Skoll, for your care, professionalism, and amazing work!"
