Women will do crazy things to look good at their weddings and in their wedding photos. However, Brides-to-be in India are taking the crazy to a different level by implanting balloons (yes! that's right - balloons) in their stomachs to help them lose weight.
In the capital city Delhi, a significant number of young women who are about to get married are implanting silicon balloons in their bellies to lose weight.
The implantation of a silicone balloon (filled with water) into the stomach leads to a sense of fullness, thereby reducing one's appetite. This leads to a drastic loss of weight of 10-15kg within six months to a year.
