Bariatric surgery

Our surgical team works with onsite clinical nutritionists and dieticians to offer a complete care plan for our patients. While surgery aims to bring a patient’s weight down to a safe range, the team work together to ensure this is accompanied by a nutrition assessment/plan to ensure the patient will receive the full benefits of the treatment.

Our surgeons can also perform some cosmetic surgical operations to remove excess tissue from the abdomen (abdominoplasty) or upper arm (brachioplasty).
