It's time for the STARR Treatment
The STARR (surgical tiny access and rapid recovery) Treatment often only requires a tiny incision near the belly button, so you'll potentially experience minimal pain after the procedure, be able to return rapidly to your daily routine, and hardly notice the scar.
With this advanced treatment, your surgeon will perform the gastric band or sleeve weight loss procedure through a tiny incision discreetly made in or near the belly button.
Even minimally invasive techniques require multiple larger incisions on your entire abdominal area – usually 4 to 6.
The STARR Treatment is made possible by the advanced technology of the SPIDER Surgical System, which is about the width of a dime and is specifically designed for minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures.
The device delivers all the tools and the tiny camera your surgeon needs during the procedure. When the procedure is completed, the tools and camera are retracted through the same opening.
The STARR Treatment. Rapid recovery. Minimal pain. Excellent aesthetic results. Talk to your doctor to see if this advanced treatment is best for you.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks. Patients should speak with their doctors about those risks and what they should expect individually in terms of the surgery, incisions, and recovery time. Your surgeon may utilize more than one incision if deemed necessary during the surgical procedure.
