More than Just an Aesthetic Issue
More than just an aesthetic issue, obesity is a complex and chronic condition with a profound impact on physical, mental, and social health. For many patients, surgical treatment offers a real opportunity to regain their health and significantly improve their quality of life.
Professor Doutor José Barbosa

Obesity Surgery
How It Works
Bariatric surgery consists of techniques that reduce gastric capacity and/or alter digestive metabolism, promoting sustained weight loss and the regression of associated diseases. Due to technical advances and the surgeon’s accumulated experience, this procedure has low complication rates and clinically proven results when combined with a commitment to changing habits and ongoing clinical follow-up.
A New Stage of Life
More than an isolated intervention, Obesity Surgery represents the beginning of a new stage of life, marked by the recovery of health, confidence, and well-being.
Continuous Clinical Monitoring
At Instituto Médico Privado, each case is evaluated individually, with a therapeutic plan focused on the client and their long-term goals.
