Procedure Information

Gallbladder Surgery (Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy)

A minimally invasive procedure that removes the gallbladder via a keyhole operation (laparoscopically). This is done using a camera and long tools that enter the abdomen via 4 small incisions. Surgery is performed under general anaesthesia, taking around 30-60 minutes.

Hospital stay: Most patients either go home the same day, or after an overnight admission.
Fundoplication For Acid Reflux

When acid reflux symptoms are severe and the cause is a laxity of your gastro-oesophageal sphincter, then a laparoscopic fundoplication can be performed to improve your reflux symptoms.

Endoscopy

An Upper GI endoscopy is a procedure used to look at the inner lining of the upper gastrointestinal (digestive) tract including the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine).

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy procedure allows your doctor to see the inside of your large bowel (colon) and rectum to screen for signs of medical conditions or changes in your bowel, such as swollen tissue, polyps or cancer.

Hiatus Hernia Surgery

When part of the stomach pushes up into the chest through the diaphragm, it's called a hiatus hernia. Surgery can relieve symptoms like reflux and discomfort.

Epigastric Hernia Surgery

Located between the ribs and navel, epigastric hernias can cause pain or a visible bulge. Surgical treatment restores core strength and comfort.

Umbilical Hernia Surgery

Common near the belly button, umbilical hernias happen when tissue pushes through weakened abdominal muscles. Surgery can relieve pressure and prevent further issues.

Inguinal Hernia Surgery

An inguinal hernia occurs in the groin, where tissue pushes through the lower abdominal wall. Surgical repair restores strength and supports daily movement.

Allurion Gastric Balloon

A non-surgical weight loss solution offered at Morphē Clinic. Morphē clinic is proudly an Allurion Centre of Excellence.

Abdominoplasty

Abdominoplasty using refined surgical techniques to achieve a stronger, flatter and more contoured abdominal profile.

Body Lift (Circumferential/360 abdominoplasty)

Expert 360-degree body lift surgery performed by specialist reconstructive and cosmetic surgeons to remove excess skin and restore balanced contour around the entire torso.

Body Contouring after weight loss

Comprehensive body contouring surgery to address excess skin and refine multiple areas after significant weight loss.

Breast Augmentation

Combining cosmetic and reconstructive expertise, breast augmentation surgery at Morphē is tailored to enhance shape and symmetry with natural-looking results using high-quality breast implants.

Breast Reduction

Performed by Morphē's specialist reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon, breast reduction surgery tailored to improve comfort and create balanced, natural proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to take vitamins?
Wound healing and recovery: In the early weeks following surgery, vitamins play a key role in supporting wound healing and recovery for our patients. With portion sizes at their smallest, the nutrition sourced from food is at an all time low, despite requirements being at an all time high. A high quality bariatric multivitamin, will cover almost all of your daily micronutrient requirements, so during these weeks, the focus is on getting established in a regular vitamin routine. Reduce the risk...
What vitamins will I be required to take?
Most of our patients will require a bariatric multivitamin and calcium supplement. Others may also require additional iron and/or vitamin B12, however, in all cases we work closely with our GP's to tailor the vitamin regimen to the patient and their bloodwork. Over the counter supplements are generally not suitable, containing inadequate quantities of some vitamins and excessive quantities of others, both of which can lead to negative health consequences.
