Discount Packages for Weight Loss Surgery
Sleeve Gastrectomy and Body Contouring Package
Save thousands on later body contouring surgery by choosing to have your sleeve gastrectomy done through us!
Around 20% of patients having had weight loss surgery will seek body contouring surgery for loose skin. In most cases the commonest area where redundant skin is removed is on the lower abdomen in the form of abdominoplasty surgery, or “tummy tuck”. In some cases the amount of loose skin can be considerable causing a range of problems such as rashes, skin excoriation, fungal infections and difficulties with personal hygiene. Other common issues include difficulties exercising and finding proper fitting clothes.
The biggest barrier to undergoing this surgery usually comes down to the costs involved. Costs can run into the tens of thousands depending on a range of factors including private insurance, procedure approval and which clinic you attend. The financial issues may get worse as Medicare tightens its approval criteria for abdominoplasty in 2016.
Our clinic offers special deals for patients needing subsequent abdominoplasty after sleeve surgery.
If you have your sleeve gastrectomy through us and you need loose skin removed, you have access to the package price. This also applies to other forms of weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass or gastric banding performed through our clinic.*
