Istanbul, Turkey — From €1,400, and a Date It Ends
Something Soft, Where Your Appetite Used to Be
From €1,400. It fills the space your next helping was going to — for six months, or twelve, or one capsule you swallow with a glass of water and never see again. No knife. No scar. And a date, already in the diary, when it comes out.
Balloon cases from our Istanbul facility, shared with written consent and dated. Note the last one: the balloon comes out, and what happens next is the real result. Results vary widely.

Temporary · endoscopic or swallowed · no surgery
Twenty to thirty minutes. Three of them go down through an endoscope under sedation and are filled in place; the Allurion you swallow with a glass of water. Then it sits there — four months, or twelve — doing the one thing it was built for. At the end it comes out, and your stomach is exactly as it was. That is the offer, and the warning.
BMI from 27 upwards depending on type — a lower threshold than any of the operations, which is why it reaches people surgery does not.
10–20% of total body weight over six months, published as 20–50 lb. Seven days in Turkey.

Plastic Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr Emre G. qualified in medicine at Uludağ University in 2007 and completed his specialist training in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery at Bezmialem Vakıf University between 2008 and 2014, with a research post at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. He has worked in both public hospitals and private practice, and the reconstructive half of that training shows in how he plans an aesthetic case. He practises at Natural Clinic in Istanbul.
Education
The procedure is about twenty minutes. What decides whether it works is the month after it comes out — the habits, the portions, the dietitian you can still reach. Ask any clinic what their support looks like the week after removal, before you ask what the balloon costs.

Side effects, diet stages and removal explained properly in your own language.

Ask whether removal is inside the price, and who takes it out. Both answers matter.
A balloon stays four to twelve months depending on type, from €1,400.
Some are placed under sedation; others are swallowed as a capsule.
Once in place, the balloon is filled to take up volume.
Medication and a liquid-first diet help the stomach adapt.
When its time is up, the balloon comes out, and your new routine carries the result.
A gastric balloon is temporary. These answers explain the types, the first days and what happens when it comes out.
A gastric balloon is a soft, expandable balloon placed inside the stomach and filled so that it takes up space. With less room for food, you feel full sooner and eat smaller portions. It is a temporary, non-surgical weight loss treatment that is removed or passed after a set period.
A gastric balloon may suit adults with a BMI from around 27, depending on the balloon type, who have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise and prefer a non-surgical option. Previous stomach surgery or certain digestive conditions may make it unsuitable.
Some gastric balloons are placed and removed using an endoscope under sedation, while others are swallowed as a capsule and filled through a thin tube. The type recommended depends on your BMI, goals and medical history, and it affects how long the balloon stays in place.
If your BMI points past a balloon, the surgical pages are here. If it points below one, gastric botox is the lighter option again.
