How Is Stomach Botox Made?
Stomach botox is a painless application in which the injection is made with the help of the mouth and endoscope. There is no need for general anesthesia during the application of the procedure, and this procedure is not considered a surgical operation, as in other procedures for the treatment of obesity. This makes the applied process completely safe and non-hazardous. The amount of botox applied to the patients varies according to the health status of the patients. The stomach botox procedure, which takes approximately 15 minutes, does not cause any pain in the patient.
Since this operation does not require a surgical intervention, it is not possible to open any incisions in the bodies of the people. Since it is an oral method, after the end of the procedure, the patient is kept under observation for a few hours and then discharged. In addition, although this process is fearfully wondered by people who are very shy about the harms of stomach botox, it is quite safe considering the method of application.
What are the Side Effects of Stomach Botox?
Those who have stomach botox process begin to see the effects of this method on the day of the application and within the next 2 to 3 days. After 2 or 3 days of application of the method, a slowdown and a decrease in the feeling of hunger of the individual is observed. Accordingly, after about 2 weeks, the patient begins to lose weight, and this process can take approximately 4 to 6 months. Because the effect of botox applied to the stomach ends between 4 and 6 months. For this reason, the method does not leave any permanent damage to the body. In addition, it is known that both stomach botox and botox procedures applied in other parts of the body do not have any side effects.
This process is applied in a way that affects the smooth muscles in the stomach area, so that the nervous system or digestive system is not adversely affected by stomach botox. However, this method may cause negative reactions in people who have muscle disease and are allergic to botox application. For this reason, stomach botox is not applied to people with such problems. Thus, a potential side effect and risk is prevented.
