Gastric sleeve is a weight loss surgery that reduces stomach size to help control appetite and limit food intake.
Gastric sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is one of the most popular bariatric procedures for long-term weight loss. In this surgery, about 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, tube-like sleeve. This significantly reduces the stomach’s capacity, so patients feel full after eating much smaller portions. The procedure also lowers levels of hunger hormones like ghrelin, helping to reduce appetite and support consistent weight loss over time.
The surgery is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia and usually takes about 1–2 hours. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1–2 days and can return to normal activities within a couple of weeks. A structured diet and exercise program is essential after surgery to maximize results and maintain weight loss. Gastric sleeve also improves obesity-related health conditions such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes, offering both cosmetic and medical benefits.

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement. It can address concerns like:
A dorsal hump
Drooping or bulbous nasal tip
Crooked bridge
Overall facial imbalance
In many cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to improve nasal breathing, particularly when combined with correction of a deviated septum.
At our clinic, board-certified surgeons take a personalized, detail-oriented approach, analyzing each patient’s facial structure to deliver natural-looking and harmonious results.

Gastric sleeve is a surgical weight loss procedure that removes a large portion of the stomach to create a smaller, banana-shaped stomach pouch.
The procedure includes:
Stomach reduction: 75–80% of the stomach is removed
Restriction: smaller stomach means smaller meals
Hormonal effects: hunger hormones like ghrelin are reduced
It is ideal for individuals with a BMI over 40 or over 35 with health complications related to obesity.
