The body mass index of the patients who will be treated with stomach botox should be below 40. In other words, it is an ideal method for individuals with a body mass index of 27-35 and an excess of 10-20 kilograms who cannot lose weight with diet and exercise. Those who are overweight but not obese enough to be operated on and those who want to lose weight can have the procedure done with the approval of the doctor. Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. Necat Kaplan tells you about the stomach botox process, which is frequently preferred in weight loss and obesity treatment, for you.
IS STOMACH BOTOX SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?
Stomach botox is not a surgery. It is one of the non-surgical treatments for obesity. The procedure is performed under endoscopy. It is performed with the help of an endoscopic device without any incision and does not require general anesthesia. The process takes an average of 20 minutes.
During the procedure, the patient is put to sleep accompanied by an anesthesiologist. 1-2 hours of observation after the procedure is usually sufficient. Appetite reduction and appetite control begin to appear approximately 3 days after gastric botulinum toxin administration. It is known that all effects of botulinum toxin drugs used in the stomach completely pass from the body within 4-6 months. Therefore, there is no possibility of permanent damage. After using stomach botulinum toxin, hunger decreases within 2-3 days. Weight loss begins after 2 weeks.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF STOMACH BOTOX?
