Gastric Balloon Treatment

Gastric balloon, also known as intragastric balloon, is a non-surgical weight-loss procedure in which a soft silicone balloon is placed into the stomach and filled with saline or gas. The balloon occupies space inside the stomach, helping patients feel full faster and consume less food. At İnci Esthetic, gastric balloon procedures are performed endoscopically under sedation, offering a safe, minimally invasive solution for weight loss.
