Functions that map open balls to open balls of different radius?

For $n \geq 2$ we say a continuous function $f: \mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n$ such that the image of any bounded open ball is a bounded open ball of different radius is a balloon function.

Are scalings by a non-zero scalar centered at a point the only balloon functions?
