Bariatric Balloon Surgery

What is Bariatric Balloon Surgery?

Bariatric Balloon Surgery is a medically supervised weight-loss intervention — surgical or endoscopic — designed to reduce stomach capacity or alter digestion when BMI and health markers meet established criteria. At AesthatiQ partner clinics, candidacy is confirmed through metabolic assessment, nutrition counselling, and anaesthesia clearance rather than cosmetic goals alone. Weight loss is gradual; adherence to dietary stages and follow-up underpins safe, durable outcomes.

How does it work?

Bariatric Balloon Surgery is performed by trained clinicians using clinically validated protocols. The plan is customised to your goals, anatomy, and recovery preferences after a detailed assessment.
