With Botulinum toxin administered endoscopically to certain parts of the stomach using a fine-tipped syringe, the stomach muscles temporarily contract less. Thus, stomach emptying is delayed and a feeling of fullness is achieved, and compliance with the diet is increased by reducing appetite. Application of stomach botox takes approximately 8-10 minutes.
Botulinum Application is a non-surgical procedure performed by endoscopic technique. It basically works with the same principle with Botulinum applied to various parts of the body. During the application, the smooth muscles in the stomach are targeted. During and after the procedure, the patient does not feel any pain, there is no burning or discomfort in the stomach. Stomach Botulinum Applications allow food to stay in the stomach longer, thus prolonging the time of satiety and reducing appetite. Since the feeling of hunger will decrease, it becomes easier to follow a nutrition program based on healthy diet principles. Stomach Botulinum Applications are generally effective for 4 to 6 months. It is important to start the process under the supervision of a good dietitian, as the post-procedure diet is directly effective in weight loss.
During the procedure, the effect of Clostridium Botulinum toxin on smooth muscles is utilized. Botulinum is endoscopically injected into the stomach walls with the help of a 5mm needle. If the patient does not have muscle disease or Botulinum allergy, no significant side effects are expected. In addition, if the patient has ulcer complaints, ulcer treatment is applied first and Botulinum is applied later.
Since the procedure is performed endoscopically, it does not require hospitalization. The patient is followed up in the clinic for as long as the doctor deems appropriate after the procedure and is usually discharged after 1-2 hours.
