The procedure is performed in a hospital setting to provide non-surgical weight control.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing a specialist doctor who performs gastric Botox in Istanbul is important in terms of the physician\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u20136 months, and regular nutrition follow-up is recommended during this period. Appropriate patient selection directly affects treatment success and safety.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Yaz\u0131 \u0130\u00e7eri\u011fi<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #ffffff;color:#ffffff\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #ffffff;color:#ffffff\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/bestekliniek.com\/en\/doctors-performing-gastric-botox-in-istanbul\/#Dr_Ahmet_Bekin\" >Dr. Ahmet Bekin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/bestekliniek.com\/en\/doctors-performing-gastric-botox-in-istanbul\/#Assoc_Prof_Dr_Ozan_Sen\" >Assoc.
