Procedure

How the treatment works

Gastric botox is performed endoscopically under light sedation. There is no cutting and no recovery ward — most patients walk out of the hospital within a couple of hours and can explore Istanbul the same evening.

1

Consultation & Assessment

Your bariatric physician reviews your weight history, BMI, medications and goals. Blood tests and a brief pre-procedure check confirm that gastric botox is a safe and sensible choice for you.

2

Light Sedation

You receive a mild sedative so you feel nothing during the endoscopy. General anesthesia is not required, which keeps the procedure short and the recovery immediate.

3

Endoscopic Injection

Using a thin endoscope passed through the mouth, the doctor injects botulinum toxin into carefully mapped points of the stomach muscle — typically the fundus and antrum, the regions that control hunger and emptying.

4

Observation & Same-Day Discharge

You rest for one to two hours while the sedation wears off, then return to your hotel. There are no wounds to care for and no stitches.

5

Nutrition Programme

Your dietitian builds a personalised eating plan around the botox window. The reduced appetite makes portion control noticeably easier, and remote follow-ups keep you accountable over the following months.

Candidacy

Who is suitable?

Gastric botox suits people with mild to moderate excess weight who want a boost that does not involve surgery or permanent change. It is not a substitute for bariatric surgery in cases of severe obesity.

Adults with a BMI between 25 and 35 who struggle with appetite and portion control Patients who want a non-surgical, needle-free-from-the-outside option with zero downtime Those who are not candidates for — or not ready for — a gastric balloon or surgery People able to commit to a dietitian-guided plan during the 4–6 month effect window Patients with no allergy to botulinum toxin and no neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis Those without active gastric ulcers or previous major stomach surgery
Recovery

Your recovery timeline

1
Day 1
You may feel mild bloating or a light sore throat from the endoscope. Most patients eat a light meal the same evening and need no painkillers.
2
Week 1
The botox begins to take effect gradually. You start noticing you feel full sooner, and your dietitian fine-tunes your meal plan accordingly.
3
Month 1
Appetite reduction reaches its peak. This is the ideal window to lock in smaller portions, regular meals and better food choices.
4
Month 3
Steady weight loss continues with the programme. A remote check-in reviews your progress and adjusts your plan if needed.
5
Months 4–6
The effect fades naturally as the stomach muscles regain full activity. Depending on your results and goals, the procedure can be repeated or you can discuss next steps with our team.
FAQ

Gastric Botox — your questions answered

Outcomes depend heavily on how well the nutrition plan is followed, but many patients lose in the range of 5–10% of their body weight over the 4–6 month effect period. Gastric botox works best as a supported kick-start, not a standalone solution.

Yes, it is the same purified botulinum toxin, applied at doses appropriate for the stomach muscle. It has an established safety profile and its effect on the stomach is temporary, wearing off naturally within months.

Gastric botox is considered one of the lowest-risk weight-loss procedures because nothing is cut, implanted or permanently altered. Side effects are usually limited to short-lived bloating or nausea. It is performed by experienced endoscopists at an accredited hospital, with pre-procedure tests to rule out contraindications.

Most patients notice reduced appetite within the first one to two weeks, with the full effect established by around week three or four. The effect then remains stable for several months before gradually fading.

Yes. Because the effect is temporary, the procedure can be safely repeated after the previous dose has worn off, typically after six months. Many patients use a second session to consolidate their results.

One to two nights is enough. The procedure itself takes about 20 minutes and you are free the same afternoon. Your package includes hotel accommodation, VIP airport transfers and an interpreter throughout your visit.

It is not suitable for patients with allergies to botulinum toxin, neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis, active stomach ulcers, or pregnancy. Patients with severe obesity (BMI over 40) usually benefit far more from surgical options, which your surgeon will explain during consultation.
