I don’t like scars! Can it be done with less cuts on the tummy?

Some surgeons around the world have used “Single Incision” surgery to insert gastric bands. If your BMI is not too high, it may be possible to perform a variation on this which places your main wound hidden within the umbilicus. This leaves three 5mm visible cuts on the upper abdomen which will fade almost to nothing with time.

The cosmetic results with this approach are superior to the more standard approach of putting the main wounds in the upper abdomen where they are quite visible.

Discuss with your surgeon the best approach to suit your body shape.
