MTF Biologics entered the Plastic Surgery field because of surgeons like you. We had already established a reputation as an allograft innovator. Extending it into the Plastic Surgery arena, we listened—learning what common acellular dermal matrix (ADM) challenges you were dealing with. Since then, we’ve helped to develop ADMs, nose reshaping grafts, soft tissue filling solutions and more—all designed with you and your patients in mind.

Upstate Bariatric (Weightloss) Surgery

The Bariatric Surgical Program provides comprehensive pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative surgical care led by an interdisciplinary team.

If you want to lose weight, you may have already talked to your doctor about safe weight loss options. If you have a significant amount of weight to lose and traditional methods like diet and exercise haven’t helped, your doctor may have suggested researching weight loss surgery as the next step.

In order to qualify for the Gastric Sleeve your BMI must be a minimum of 30. During your consultation with our surgeon, you will be assessed for your individual needs and our surgeon will make a recommendation whether or not they think the Gastric Sleeve is the correct surgery for you. Our doctor will assess your health status and medical history to determine if you are a good candidate for this surgery.

Preoperative assessment and education for patients seeking bariatric surgery

For some people, bariatric surgery is an option for obesity management. Bariatric surgeries either cause a reduction in the amount of food you are able to eat comfortably or a reduction in the absorption of calories from the food you eat, or both. While these surgeries can have major impacts on an individual’s weight and other health-related factors, continued success and improvements in overall health still depend on maintaining healthy behaviours.
