Gastric Balloon

Gastric balloon is a non-surgical method for weight loss that helps reduce appetite by filling space in the stomach.

Gastric Balloon

Gastric balloon is a temporary, endoscopic weight loss procedure designed for individuals who struggle with obesity and prefer a non-surgical solution. A soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach and then inflated with saline or gas, limiting the space for food and helping patients feel full more quickly. The balloon stays in place for 6 to 12 months and supports healthy lifestyle changes that lead to meaningful weight loss.

The placement procedure takes about 20–30 minutes and is performed under mild sedation. Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activities within a few days. While the balloon is in place, patients follow a monitored diet and coaching program to build sustainable eating habits. After removal, continued lifestyle efforts are key to maintaining results. Gastric balloon is a safe and effective option for patients not ready for surgery but needing structured support.

Purpose

Aids weight loss by reducing stomach capacity.

Procedure

Balloon placed endoscopically and inflated.

Areas Treated

Stomach.

Anesthesia

Sedation or light anesthesia used.

Recovery

Mild nausea for a few days.

Results

Helps reduce weight over 6–12 months.

What is Rhinoplasty ?

Rhinoplasty, commonly known as a “nose job,” is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the nose for aesthetic enhancement or functional improvement. It can address concerns like:

  • A dorsal hump

  • Drooping or bulbous nasal tip

  • Crooked bridge

  • Overall facial imbalance

In many cases, rhinoplasty is also performed to improve nasal breathing, particularly when combined with correction of a deviated septum.

At our clinic, board-certified surgeons take a personalized, detail-oriented approach, analyzing each patient’s facial structure to deliver natural-looking and harmonious results.

Rhinoplasty Process

1. Consultation

  • Detailed facial and nasal analysis

  • Discussion of aesthetic goals and functional concerns

  • Customized surgical plan tailored to your features

2. Surgical Procedure

  • General anesthesia is typically used

  • Hidden incisions (inside the nostrils) minimize visible scarring

  • The nose is reshaped (tip refined, hump reduced, bridge straightened, etc.)

  • If needed, internal corrections like a septoplasty are performed to enhance breathing

3. Recovery

  • Surgery duration: 2–3 hours

  • Outpatient procedure: most patients go home the same day

  • Swelling and bruising peak in the first week and subside within 1–2 weeks

  • External splint worn for about a week

  • Return to light activities and office work: typically within 7–10 days

  • Final results: refined nasal shape settles within 12 months
