Just like many of her patients, Dr Jandera sees her family life as central to who she is, but she loves her work as a plastic surgeon as well.
A fully qualified plastic surgeon with 14 years experience in private practice and the official Restylane trainer to plastic surgeons in South Africa, Dr Jandera could behave like the stereotypical aloof plastic surgeon portrayed by the media, but she doesn’t. Don’t mention Dr 90210 when you see her, she hates the false Hollywood glitz that seems to be attributed to those in her field.
Vivien is the mother of one and wife of 16 years and she would rather enjoy her time with her patients than pretend she is anything other than your average woman who happens to have a qualification.
In theatre Vivien becomes Dr Jandera and she is as respected among her colleagues as she is amongst her patients. Dr Jandera is a member of both:
- APRSSA (Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons South Africa)
- SASSH (South African Society for Surgery of the Hand)
In her professional capacity Dr Jandera has had the honour of presenting the 2009 APRSSA Phoenix lecture, being the first woman to do so. She is also a member of South African Restylane MasterClass.
