However, since each individual's health condition is different, it is important to consult a specialist doctor about the suitability of gastric botox application.

How to Reduce Stomach Volume with Stomach Botox?

Gastric Botox is an effect that temporarily shrinks the stomach. Botulinum toxin is injected into the stomach muscles, causing them to relax.

How Does Stomach Botox Increase the Feeling of Fullness?

Gastric Botox increases the feeling of fullness by affecting the motor functions of the stomach. When the stomach muscles relax, food is digested more slowly, resulting in a longer feeling of fullness. In addition, gastric emptying is also slowed down, which gives the person a feeling of satiety longer after eating. This effect can be especially beneficial for people who tend to overeat.

Who Cannot Receive Stomach Botox?

Gastric Botox is not applied to people with certain health problems. Conditions such as stomach ulcers, gastritis, pregnancy or breastfeeding, surgical procedures on the stomach or serious cardiovascular diseases may constitute an obstacle for gastric botox application. Your doctor's approval should be obtained before the application.
