Allurion® balloons are designed for patients with a BMI* of 30 to 40, or between 27 and 30 in the presence of comorbidities**. A prior medical assessment by Dr. Séverine Mazur is required to determine eligibility for treatment.
In cases where BMI is over 40, the balloon may be an alternative for patients who do not wish or do not qualify for bariatric surgery.
This temporary medical device offers a safe, progressive approach to weight loss, accompanied by nutritional and behavioral support.
The Allurion® balloon remains in the stomach for around 16 weeks (4 months) before deflating naturally and being eliminated by the body without surgery.
The Allurion® gastric balloon is a proven non-drug solution for the treatment of obesity, developed to help patients achieve significant weight loss in a less invasive way than bariatric surgery.
This innovative program, created by Dr. Shantanu Gaur and Dr. Ram Chuttani, was launched in the United States in 2016. The concept is simple and requires no surgery. It is based on a miniature balloon, contained in a capsule that the patient swallows during a medical consultation.
Once the capsule has arrived in the stomach, Dr. Séverine Mazur of the CO-ATTITUDE Clinic uses a fine catheter to inflate the balloon with water, as required by the procedure.
The space occupied by the balloon creates a faster feeling of satiety when the patient eats or drinks. This naturally reduces daily caloric intake, helping to achieve significant weight loss within 4 months, under medical supervision.
*BMI (Body Mass Index): BMI is an indicator of corpulence calculated by dividing weight (in kg) by height (in meters) squared. A BMI of 30 or more defines obesity. This index is used to assess a person's level of overweight or obesity.
**Comorbidities refer to the presence of several associated diseases or disorders in the same patient. In the context of obesity, this may include conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular disease, which increase the risk to overall health. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Séverine Mazur.
The ball Allurion® is a non-surgical solution for the treatment of obesity, developed by Allurion Technologies, which also owns the brand.
