What is the Bikini Sleeve:
Unlike standard gastric sleeve procedures, the Bikini Sleeve is performed through tiny incisions hidden below the bikini line, making it an ideal solution for patients who want effective weight loss surgery with high aesthetic consideration. This innovation has attracted thousands of international patients from the UK, USA, Europe, and the Gulf, all seeking world-class treatment at a fraction of Western costs.
Five years ago, at the European Society for Bariatric Surgery, Dr Tamer Abdelbaki presented three years of research showing incredible outcomes with the bikini sleeve surgery while addressing traditional concerns with bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery has developed over the past 50 years, with over 50 surgeries from older open approaches to modern laparoscopic incisions. The modern-day laparoscopic bariatric surgery approach provides several primary benefits, including smaller surgical scars, reduced blood loss during surgery, less pain, shorter hospital stays, a faster return to normal activity and a reduced risk of infection. The bikini line sleeve gastrectomy (bikini line SG), however, further improves upon this.
The bikini line sleeve gastrectomy is a different approach but has the same benefits as the conventional technique, enhancing cosmetic effects. The procedure inserts all ports below the bikini line, including ports for liver retraction. It utilises newer tech to optimise the operation time, reduce pain and hospital stays, with better results for weight loss and satisfaction at three years. Patients are currently being studied for longer follow-up, with excellent results.
If you’re considering gastric sleeve surgery abroad, the Bikini Sleeve by Dr Tamer Abdelbaki may be the safest, most effective, and most aesthetically refined option available today.
