Sonia Cerovac MD, MSc, FRCS

Sonja obtained her medical degree from Belgrade University in Serbia in 1992. A year later she commenced her specialist training in plastic surgery working as a junior doctor at the University Clinical Hospital and Military Medical Academy in Belgrade. From 1995 she continued training in the UK, working at many large plastic surgery departments across London. She completed a Specialist Registrar rotation at St George’s, Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in London and Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead. Towards the end of her training, she completed an aesthetic surgery fellowship at McIndoe Surgical Centre in East Grinstead and hand and wrist surgery fellowships at Wrightington Hospital in Wigan and a private Hand Clinic in Windsor.

She passed the examinations for admission as a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) in 1998 and the specialist intercollegiate examination in Plastic Surgery FRCS(Plast) in 2007. She was awarded MSc Degree (Master in Surgical Science) for her research in the field of flexor tendon surgery by the University of London in 1999. Sonja has been a substantive Consultant Plastic Surgeon at St George’s Hospital since 2008. She has introduced the wrist surgery service to a busy plastic surgery repertoaire of this large hospital and continues to work hard to maintain an excellent reputation of its Hand Unit. In addition to demanding NHS practice at St George’s Hospital, she is performing a large number of operations in the private sector in the field of reconstructive skin and aesthetic surgery.

She feels that finesse and artistry of cosmetic surgery and importance of serious trauma surgery, beautifully compliment each other. All her professional attainments would have probably not been possible without a loving and supportive family. Happiness at home engined motivation at work, whilst joy and success at work fuelled Sonja to be better daughter, sister, wife and mum. As if, her career and private life had never clashed, but rather galvanised each other.
