Dr Kumar’s Team
Continuity of Care from Consultation to Recovery
Body contouring after significant weight loss is usually staged, and Dr Kumar’s team around it matters as much as the technique.
The nurses who prepare you are the nurses who review you
Dr Kumar’s nurses work in his rooms and on the wards at Westmead Private Hospital, where he operates, so there is a good chance of a familiar face during your stay.
Preparing you for surgery: prehabilitation
Referral to Dr Kumar’s Accredited Practising Dietitian. Bariatric surgery changes how you absorb protein, iron and vitamin B12, the nutrients wound healing draws on.
Measuring what the scales cannot
Where it helps, a DEXA body composition scan separates fat from lean muscle, guiding how much is done in one operation and how stages are spaced.
Aftercare, for twelve months
Planned and costed before you commit. Dressings and compression garments are managed by Dr Kumar’s team, and Dr Kumar reviews you for twelve months.

Consultations in Sydney, Penrith and Orange
Body contouring after significant weight loss is staged, so there is no package price. You receive a written quote covering the operation and twelve months of aftercare before you commit.
Some procedures attract a Medicare item number where specific clinical criteria are met. See the costs page for those criteria.
Not sure whether a Medicare item applies to you? That is settled at consultation, with your history and an examination — not online. You can also call 1300 267 726 to speak with Dr Kumar’s nursing team.
Your Pathway, From Referral to Twelve Months
Body contouring after significant weight loss is usually a staged procedure rather than a single operation.
-
1
Referral and first consultation
A GP referral is required. Dr Kumar’s practice nurse calls you first, takes your history and tells you which records and results to bring.
-
2
Consultation with Dr Kumar
About ninety minutes, in person. Dr Kumar examines you, explains which procedures suit you and in what order, and sets out the risks and recovery.
-
3
Assessment and preparation
Where it helps, a dietitian referral and a DEXA body composition scan. Your quote is then itemised in full, including twelve months of aftercare.
-
4
Cooling-off and third consultation
At least seven days pass before you commit to anything. You then see Dr Kumar again to work through any remaining questions before consent and booking.
-
5
Surgery and twelve months of review
Surgery at Westmead Private Hospital, with reviews at one week, six weeks, twelve weeks, six months and twelve months.

Our Patient Results
Dr Kumar’s galleries show his own patients, photographed before and after surgery and grouped by procedure. Body contouring after major weight loss, in women and men, is the core of his practice.
Each result reflects that patient’s anatomy, weight history and how their surgery was staged. Individual results vary, and the images are relevant only to the patient shown.
The galleries contain clinical images intended for adults 18 and over.
