Ärzte, die Magen-Botox in Istanbul anwenden

Doctors performing gastric Botox in Istanbul are experienced physicians in the fields of gastroenterology or general surgery who perform botulinum toxin injection into the stomach muscles by endoscopic method to support obesity treatment. The procedure is performed in a hospital setting to provide non-surgical weight control.

Choosing a specialist doctor who performs gastric Botox in Istanbul is important in terms of the physician’s endoscopic procedure experience, patient evaluation process, and complication management. Before the procedure, a detailed medical history is taken, body mass index is calculated, and patient suitability is determined according to clinical criteria.

Within the scope of endoscopic gastric Botox treatment in Istanbul clinics, the procedure is performed under sterile operating room conditions and under sedation. Botulinum toxin is injected into the fundus and antrum regions of the stomach to delay gastric emptying time and support appetite control. The procedure generally offers the possibility of discharge on the same day.

Doctors in Istanbul who perform gastric Botox for obesity treatment always plan the procedure together with diet and lifestyle modifications. The effect of Botox lasts on average 4–6 months, and regular nutrition follow-up is recommended during this period. Appropriate patient selection directly affects treatment success and safety.
