Stomach Botox

Overview

Gastric Botox, also known as stomach Botox or gastric Botox injection for weight loss, is a non-surgical procedure that helps reduce appetite and support weight loss. It works by injecting Botox into specific areas of the stomach wall to slow digestion (gastric emptying) and reduce stomach motility, prolonging the feeling of fullness and lowering food intake. This can lead to a gradual weight loss of 10-15 kg within 3 to 6 months.

This minimally invasive treatment provides a temporary but effective method for appetite control and portion reduction. Unlike surgical weight-loss procedures, it does not alter stomach structure or require long recovery periods, making it a quick and simple option for those looking to manage their weight without surgery.

Who is it for?

Stomach Botox is ideal for individuals struggling with portion control and slow weight loss despite diet and exercise. It is recommended for those with a BMI of 25 or higher who are not candidates for bariatric surgery. It is also suitable for individuals who have repeatedly tried to achieve or maintain a healthy weight without success, as well as those with a BMI between 35 and 40 kg/m² who prefer to avoid bariatric surgery.

This procedure is often chosen by individuals seeking a non-permanent, low-risk weight-loss solution. It is especially beneficial for patients needing appetite control support while working towards long-term lifestyle changes.

Procedure Details

Stomach Botox is performed endoscopically, taking about 15-20 minutes. Botulinum toxin is injected into specific areas of the stomach to relax muscles and slow digestion.

‍

• A mild sedative or anesthesia is administered.
• An endoscope is inserted into the stomach for visualization.
• Botulinum toxin is injected into targeted stomach muscles.
• The procedure is completed, and the patient is monitored briefly.
• The patient is discharged the same day with dietary recommendations.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from stomach Botox is quick, with most patients resuming normal activities the same day. Mild nausea or bloating may occur but usually subsides within a few days.

The effects last 3-6 months, during which appetite is reduced, and portion sizes naturally decrease. We provide dietary guidance and support to help patients develop sustainable eating habits for long-term weight management.

Results Timeline
‍

Appetite reduction begins within a few days, with gradual weight loss occurring over the next few months. Most patients lose 5-10% of their total body weight within three to six months.

While the effects wear off over time, stomach Botox helps establish healthier eating habits. Continued success depends on maintaining a balanced diet and an active lifestyle after the procedure.
