Services
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces stomach size by 75-80%, limiting food intake and lowering hunger hormones. Ideal for patients seeking significant weight loss, this procedure offers rapid results with 60-80% excess weight reduction over two years. Patients experience improved health markers for diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea while maintaining long-term success through lifestyle changes.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestines to reduce calorie absorption. This dual-action approach delivers 70-80% excess weight loss within 18 months while resolving obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes and GERD. The procedure combines restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms for enhanced metabolic benefits and sustained results.
Mini Gastric Bypass
Mini gastric bypass simplifies traditional bypass with a single intestinal connection, reducing surgery time and recovery. Patients achieve 60-70% excess weight loss in 12-18 months while improving cardiovascular health and insulin resistance. This less invasive option maintains effectiveness with fewer technical complexities.
Bariatric Revision
Revision procedures address complications or insufficient results from prior bariatric surgeries. Options include converting gastric bands to sleeves or bypasses, repairing staple line leaks, or correcting anatomical issues. These tailored interventions restore weight loss progress and resolve post-operative challenges like acid reflux or nutrient deficiencies.
Cosmetic Surgery
Post-weight-loss cosmetic procedures address excess skin and body contouring needs. Services include tummy tucks, body lifts, and breast augmentations performed by board-certified plastic surgeons. These enhancements complete patients' transformations, improving self-confidence and physical comfort through personalized aesthetic solutions.
