*As with any medical solution, results may vary from one patient to another, and some patients may not respond to treatment. Please consult a doctor to carefully evaluate the risks and benefits before making your decision.
**The removal of the Allurion Balloon may, in very rare cases, require an endoscopic or surgical intervention. In rare cases, instead of being expelled through the digestive tract, the empty balloon may be vomited out.
***Eligibility for the placement of an Allurion Balloon will be assessed by a certified doctor after an initial consultation and a careful review of your medical history. In the case of an extended Allurion Program, your eligibility is reassessed before each placement to ensure you continue to meet the required conditions.
