The gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss method in which a grapefruit-sized balloon made of silicone is inserted into the stomach. This balloon, placed through endoscopy and filled with air or methylene blue solution, occupies a place in the stomach and helps reduce eating portions by creating a feeling of fullness in the person in whom it is inserted.
The gastric balloon, which effectively loses weight with healthy eating habits, is divided into two types: 6-month and 12-month balloons.
Gastric Botox is a non-surgical weight loss method that aims to lose weight by injecting botulinum toxin into the stomach muscles. The goal is to prevent contraction of the stomach muscles which digest food, keep food in the stomach longer, and prolong satiety time.
In gastric Botox treatment, which is performed in just 30 minutes with endoscopy, the person is put to sleep with sedation, then Botox liquid is injected into certain parts of the stomach. After injection of 40 doses, the application is completed, and the patient is awakened.
This non-surgical weight loss method, called Botox plus balloon, is a special method that Dr. Mehmet Gençtürk uses on his patients. In this method, using both the effects of Botox and the balloon, more effective and controlled weight loss occurs and the side effects such as nausea and cramps that can be caused by the balloon are eliminated. In this procedure, botulinum toxin is first injected into the stomach muscles and then the gastric balloon treatment is performed.
