Revision Surgery

A new opportunity when a previous surgery did not deliver the expected results.

What is it?

About the revision Surgery

Revision surgery is intended for patients who have already undergone a bariatric procedure and did not obtain the expected results, regained weight, or have complications. It may involve correcting, adjusting, or converting the previous surgery into another type of procedure. It requires an especially detailed evaluation, as it is usually technically more complex.
