Comprehensive Care from a Dedicated Team

Continuity of Care from Consultation to Recovery
Body contouring after significant weight loss is not one operation. It is a staged course of surgery, and the team around it matters as much as the technique.
The same nurses, in the rooms and on the ward
Dr Kumar’s nurses don’t only work in his rooms. They also work on the wards at Westmead Private Hospital, where he operates. The nurse who takes your first phone call and measures you for your compression garments may well be the nurse caring for you on the ward the night after your surgery, and will be one of the nurses reviewing your wounds as you heal. There is a good chance of a familiar face during your hospital stay — and the nurses who prepare you for surgery are the same ones who look after you at every review afterwards.
Preparing you for surgery: prehabilitation
Before surgery, Dr Kumar’s team will offer to refer you to his Accredited Practising Dietitian. Not every patient needs it — some already work with a dietitian or remain under a bariatric team — but the aim is to have as many patients as possible properly prepared. This matters more after significant weight loss than most people expect: bariatric surgery changes how you absorb protein, iron and vitamin B12, and those are what wound healing draws on. The same dietetic support continues after your operation, through the months when your body is repairing.
Measuring what the scales cannot
After major weight loss, your weight on its own tells us very little. Where it is useful, Dr Kumar arranges a DEXA scan — a body composition scan that separates fat mass from lean muscle. He uses it to inform how much can sensibly be done in one operation, how your procedures are staged, and how long to leave between stages.
Aftercare, for twelve months
Your aftercare is planned and costed before you commit to surgery, not worked out as you go. Dressings and compression garments are supplied and managed by the same nursing team, wound and scar care follows a set protocol rather than being left to chance, and Dr Kumar reviews his surgical patients for twelve months after surgery. Scars continue to remodel well beyond the first few months, and questions about refinement or revision are usually better answered late in that first year than early.

Popular Surgical Procedures
Post-weight loss surgery is designed to remove excess skin and tighten the areas underneath. The procedure can address multiple parts of the upper and lower body and may sometimes be performed in combination. Areas that can be treated include the breasts, arms, back, abdomen, outer thighs, hips, buttocks, and flanks.
Results vary between patients, and the exact approach will be tailored to your individual needs. Your suitability for surgery and which areas can be safely treated will be discussed during a consultation with Dr. Kumar.
Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that involves the placement of breast implants. The procedure is considered following consultation and clinical assessment, taking into account individual anatomy, medical history and surgical goals.
Breast augmentation may be discussed for individuals who wish to explore surgical options related to breast volume or shape changes associated with factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, breastfeeding or reconstructive considerations.
Motherhood is an enthralling and captivating stage in a woman’s life. However, fluctuating hormones, breastfeeding and the pregnancy itself, have profound effects on a woman’s body and not all of these are positive or “natural”. Having multiple pregnancies often compounds these changes.
An abdominoplasty or ‘tummy tuck’ is an operation designed to reshape the entire abdomen. The modern abdominoplasty removes excess skin, fat and tightens any loose musculature to create a flat tummy and contoured waistline. Many types of abdominoplasty procedures can be performed and Dr Kumar will guide you in choosing the best operation for you.
