What is The Best Ready-Made Temporary Filling?
Ideal filling material should not cause foreign body reaction in the body. It should have a soft consistency and should not be absorbent for a long time in the application area. It should be absorbed homogeneously while being absorbed. However, there is no perfect filler with all these properties yet. The ideal filler will vary according to the characteristics determined by you or your doctor.
Collagen
Collagen is an amino acid protein. It can be obtained from the human body or animals (known as bovine collagen). Collagen looks very natural when injected. It is often used on the lips for lip augmentation.
Calcium HYDROXY APATIDES
Calcium hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring substance in human bones. It is a mineral-like compound. It is one of the heaviest derma fillers. This special filling process is usually used for deep wrinkles.
HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It is found in connective tissue, skin, and cartilage. It is removed, rearranged and then presented as a derma filler. Hyaluronic acid is a popular choice because of its compatibility.
Polylactic Acid
Polylactic acid is a synthetic material that is shaped and used as a filler. This particular ingredient works differently from other fillers as it stimulates collagen production after injection. Therefore, the results will not appear immediately, but gradually over time.
PMMA
One of the most permanent fillers on the market today is Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA). This filler has a lower concentration of microspheres suspended in a larger amount of purified collagen gel. PMMA is stronger and heavier than most other fillers. It is used for deep wrinkles, deep folds and cracks. It is sometimes used as an implant during reconstructive surgery.
Stomach Filling
Filling is often used to remove skin wrinkles. In addition, which is used in some neurological disorders and stomach-like procedures, has been involved in obesity surgery for the last 10-15 years. The method has been used for experimental purposes on animals since 2004, and recently in countries such as Norway, Korea and the USA, attenuation has been applied in humans and positive results have been obtained.
After the studies, it has been observed that there is a weight loss of approximately 10-15% between 5-6 months after the material is injected into the stomach. The effect of the procedure is explained by the blocking of the muscles and nerves in the stomach, which are effective in feeling hungry and happy. The muscle layer is affected by the prolonged emptying of the stomach. By affecting the nerve cells, the feeling of hunger decreases.
What is Stomach Filling ?
This is a non-surgical anti-obesity method applied endoscopically. It aims to temporarily neutralize the stomach nerves and muscles that are active on appetite and hunger.
This process takes an average of 15-20 minutes. During this period, the nerves and muscles that affect appetite and hunger stop working for 4-6 months. The appetite decreases and the stomach and muscles lose their ability to contract because the emptying of the stomach is delayed. Food stays in the stomach longer. It occurs over a longer satiety period. Less food, easy satiety and weight loss occurs.

At this point, patients who are overweight but not obese enough for surgery and who want to lose weight are the ideal patient group.
- In patients with gastric ulcer or gastritis, stomach filling can be applied after appropriate treatment of these diseases.
How is Stomach Filling Applied?
It is injected through an endoscopy (gastroscopy) application that provides a detailed internal view of the stomach. Therefore, the patient’s discomfort is only a “gastroscopy”.
Since the filler is applied laparoscopically to the stomach, there is no need for any preparation required by surgical procedures. The tube with a camera at the end of the device is given to the patient with sedation medication before the endoscope is given orally to the stomach.
After the device is placed in the stomach and the stomach image is taken, filler is injected into the application areas. After an application period of 15-20 minutes, the patient is awakened. The patient is discharged after 1-2 hours.
