Hello, this is Balance Lab Plastic Surgery.
Did you know that, for dieting, diet management is more important than exercise?
No matter how much you exercise, it is difficult to lose weight if you do not manage your diet.
However, managing your diet is not easy.
People who visit Balance Lab for weight loss generally find it difficult to control their diet. For those who struggle with diet control, today we will introduce Balance Lab’s gastric balloon diet.
The gastric balloon diet is a method in which, without surgical operation, a gastric balloon approved by the U.S. FDA and certified by the CE in Europe is inserted into the stomach through gastroscopy, helping create a feeling of fullness and reduce meal portions compared to before.
It is the most suitable procedure for obese patients who say that managing their diet is usually difficult. At Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, Chief Director Kang Min-gu, a board-certified internist, systematically conducts 9 essential tests before the procedure, and the procedure is performed after checking the patient’s health status through individual consultation.
Gastric balloon procedure process
After checking the inside of the stomach with an endoscope, the gastric balloon is inserted.
The flat balloon is positioned inside the stomach.
Sterile saline is filled into the balloon to inflate it.
It is removed in the same order 6 months after the target weight loss period.
How much weight loss is possible with the gastric balloon diet?
This is the pre-/post-InBody analysis result of a patient who received the gastric balloon procedure at Balance Lab Plastic Surgery.
Looking at the InBody analysis results above, you can confirm that body weight, visceral fat, and body fat mass all decreased.
Things you really want to know about the gastric balloon.
It is a procedure that has received both U.S. FDA and European CE certification, and it has been chosen by 270,000 patients in 80 countries.
The balloon inserted into the stomach is made of safe silicone material, so there is no risk of bursting and you can rest assured.
There may be discomfort at first, but this symptom naturally subsides.
It is usually removed after 6 months, and if desired, it can be removed immediately.
After the gastric balloon procedure, symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea may occur, but these symptoms improve within 3 to 7 days after the procedure, and in some cases no symptoms appear.
Additionally, for those who want to lose weight and also reduce localized fat, we recommend Balance Lab Plastic Surgery’s BEST popular procedures.
A fat-dissolving injection exclusive to Balance Lab, without steroids or PPC, which are ingredients that can cause side effects, destroys fat cells and helps them be expelled from the body.
Using an ultra-fine cannula with a rounded tip, it precisely extracts only the fat from the desired area. The Outfit fat extraction injection does not involve incisions or separate sleep anesthesia, so you do not need to worry about scars or recovery time.
Rather than a standardized IV prescription, a personalized IV is provided according to test results, replenishing lacking components and helping break down body fat so that weight can be lost in a healthy way.
When the customized IV, Infit, and Outfit are performed together with the gastric balloon diet, they can create even better synergy.
At Balance Lab Plastic Surgery, one board-certified internist and two board-certified plastic surgeons work together in a cooperative system, so the plastic surgeons take care of external beauty, and the internist helps ensure your body remains healthy from the inside as well.
If you have usually found diet control difficult and have been looking into ways to lose weight, why not try reaching your target weight through Balance Lab’s gastric balloon diet?
