Gastric Botox Surgery

This technique is one of the best non-surgery and safe technique that applies speculum to get rid of excess weight and shapes a perfect body. Botox is injected into the stomach the same way it is done on the face area. It works by relaxing the stomach muscles and then thereby minimizing contraction which in turn leads to  minimizing hunger and mussel’s movement. As a result,  the patient dose not feel like eating much food, which together with exercising, result in losing excess weight.

  • Gastric Botox Surgery Stages

Despite the fact that it is non-surgery technique, stomach Botox surgery might take 45-to-60 minutes. Surgery stages are as follows:

 

–  First, the doctor might spread anesthesia on the throat area to prevent a sense of annoying vomits during surgery.

–  Second, Botox is injected into various areas of the stomach wall using the injection needle hanging on the endoscope, and into the stomach wall. This is done with extra care, not randomly, in order for the substance to paralyze the movement of the stomach by 50% of its natural rate in which case vomiting is greatly minimized.

–  Upon completion of injection, the Doctor removes the endoscope, in the same way it was inserted and the patient can leave the hospital on the same day leading his/her normal life without any problem.
