Gastric botox procedure, which is performed by endoscopic method in the clinical environment without the need of surgery, is an effective and comfortable application that plays an important role in achieving weight control.
Gastric botox procedure is a reliable application, which aims to maintain the feeling of fullness for a long time after eating, by injecting botulinum toxin into the stomach muscles, allowing the stomach muscles to contract less.
The application of botulinum toxin, botox, which has been used as an active ingredient in preventing the contraction of the facial muscles partially and not wrinkling the face for many years, has no known side effects on the body.
After an average of 20 minutes of stomach botox application, it is sufficient for the person to stay under observation for 1-2 hours. After this period, the person can easily return to his/her social life and continue his/her daily routine. It is known that there is no substance related to botox in the body after this period of gastric botox application, whose permanence varies between 4 and 6 months.
There is no known side effect of the stomach botox procedure, which is ideal for the patient group who have difficulty complying with diet lists or who cannot spare enough time for sports. The stomach botox procedure, which is comfortable and reliable, is the right choice for patients with a body mass index below 35. Since patients above this index are included in the obese group in terms of body mass index parameters, gastric surgeries are more correct options for those in that patient group.
The gastric botox procedure basically aims to prevent the contraction of the stomach muscles partially and to eliminate the feeling of hunger. Although the stomach muscles return to normal within a maximum of 6 months depending on the time, the weight loss process continues as the person is now used to eating less. This is the most important feature that separates stomach botox from gastric balloon process. Because, although the gastric balloon procedure is a comfortable and endoscopic procedure such as gastric botox, after the balloon is removed in the gastric balloon process, people can return to their former eating patterns and gain weight again. In gastric botox, since the habit of eating less turns into a vital norm in time, weight control can be achieved after the botox loses its effect.
Gastric botox can be applied to anyone over the age of 18 and with a body mass index below 35, however, if the person has stomach problems such as ulcers and gastritis, these problems should be treated before the application.
