Gastric Injection in Turkey

The aim of Gastric Injection is to relax the stomach muscles, slowing down the stomach's rate of emptying itself. When Botox is injected into the upper part of the stomach, particularly the Gastric Fundus region, it reduces the amount of Ghrelin peptide hormone, which is considered the appetite centre of the stomach that stimulates the feeling of hunger.

The stomach regulates feelings of hunger and satiety, so by sending signals to the nerves in the stomach it reduces the appetite. Individuals can lose weight with an average of 10-15 kilograms in 3-6 months.

The gastric injection is a non–surgical procedure that has been successfully performed in Turkey for the past ten years. It should be combined with lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise.

Turkey has become even more popular among medical tourists looking for expertise and affordable prices, so don't hesitate to get in touch, our patient coordinators will be happy to help.
