Stomach botox, one of the non-surgical slimming methods, occurs by applying botulinum toxin to the smooth muscles of the stomach. With the application, it has been discovered that the stomach inhibits nerve conduction and consequently delays the feeling of hunger.
Gastric botox procedure, performed by endoscopy, with sedation (sleep state) without the need for general anesthesia, takes approximately 15-20 minutes. Since the effect of stomach botox, which causes loss of appetite for a period of 3 to 6 months, gradually passes, the patients noted that despite a year after the procedure, excessive hunger did not suddenly start.
We expect weight loss up to 10 percent of the patient’s weight in stomach botox. However, it has been observed that some patients also experienced sports and their weight loss increased to 15 percent.
It is not suitable for women under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding.
