Stomach Botox

Stomach botox is one of the non-surgical methods of obesity which consists of botox application endoscopically to the stomach. The aim of stomach botox is to provide patients with a longer feeling of fullness. With a longer feeling of fullness, the amount of food consumed decreases and a diet regimen can be followed easily. Thanks to the feeling of fullness provided by the stomach botox effect, you do not have difficulty while following your diet and you can reach your aimmed weight by combining it with physical exercise.

Since the function of the muscles in the stomach is temporarily reduced in patients who have gastric botox, the duration of food digestion in the stomach is prolonged, therefore you feel full longer than normal due to nerve-freezing.

It is performed endoscopically, the patient does not feel any pain as he/she is under sedation. The patient can be discharged approximately 2 hours after endoscopy.

• Those who have Body Mass Index (BMI) above 27%.
• Those who are not allergic to Botox
• Those who do not have co-morbid diseases
• If there is not any pathological complication after the endoscopy

It nearly takes 20 minutes.

Once the stomach botox treatment is done, the effect starts 3- 7 days after. The patient starts to lose weight in about 1 month. The effect disappears after 6 months.
