TREATMENT

Allurion Gastric Balloon

At Avané Clinic, we offer the innovative Allurion Gastric Balloon procedure as a non-surgical solution for effective weight management. This advanced procedure involves the use of a gastric balloon designed to occupy space within the stomach, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing food intake. Ideal for those seeking sustainable weight loss without invasive surgery, the Allurion Gastric Balloon has garnered attention for its promising results and minimal downtime.

How does the Allurion Gastric Balloon work?

The Allurion Gastric Balloon Treatment is a non-surgical procedure that begins with a deflated balloon being placed into the stomach through the mouth, using a swallowable capsule. Once in the stomach, the balloon is filled with a sterile saline solution to expand and occupy space, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing hunger. The balloon remains in the stomach for approximately 16 weeks, after which it is naturally excreted. Throughout this period, patients are supported with dietary counseling to maximise weight loss outcomes.

What to expect during the Allurion Gastric Balloon?

During the Allurion Gastric Balloon Treatment, patients can expect a straightforward procedure that typically takes around 20 minutes to complete. The insertion of the balloon is done without sedation, and once in place, it is filled with saline to expand within the stomach. Patients may experience mild discomfort or nausea initially, which subsides shortly after the procedure. Following placement, our team provides comprehensive support, including dietary guidance to optimise weight loss results throughout the balloon’s tenure.

What are the results and benefits of the Allurion Gastric Balloon?

The Allurion Gastric Balloon Treatment offers several benefits, including significant weight loss within the 16-week duration of the balloon. Patients typically achieve an average weight loss of 10-15 kg during this period, which can vary based on individual adherence to dietary recommendations and lifestyle modifications. Beyond weight loss, the treatment helps establish healthier eating habits and may lead to improvements in obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Additionally, the procedure is minimally invasive, with no incisions or downtime required.
