9. Stomach Stapling Management

We have particular experience with a large population of stomach stapling patients from around the Eastern Suburbs, many of which require reversal or revision to gastric bypass

We also perform abdominoplasty and brachioplasty (arm reduction) surgery for patients with redundant skin after weight loss. This is done at discounted rates for patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery with us. Rates for this surgery are substantially more affordable than most cosmetic surgeons will offer
