Weight Loss and Management

At Dr. Yuan Cosmetic Surgery, we understand the critical role that medical weight loss and management play in achieving optimal results for cosmetic procedures like liposuction and tummy tucks, in addition to promoting overall wellness. Our comprehensive weight management program, which includes both Semaglutide (GLP-1) and phentermine, is designed to help you lose weight safely and maintain your results post-surgery. 

Whether you need to lose weight before surgery to reduce risks or want support in keeping the weight off afterward, our tailored solutions provide the medical support you need for a healthier, more confident you.

Why Medical Weight Loss and Management is Essential for Cosmetic Surgery

Liposuction and tummy tuck procedures are more effective and safer when patients are at a stable, healthy weight. Medical weight management can help:

  • Before Surgery: Achieve weight loss to improve surgical outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance body contouring results.
  • After Surgery: Maintain your slimmer figure and avoid regaining fat in untreated areas, preserving your surgical results for the long term.

Our Approach: Semaglutide and Phentermine for Weight Management

We offer a dual-approach to medical weight loss by incorporating both semaglutide and phentermine into our program. Each treatment works differently to help you achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.

1. Semaglutide (GLP-1) injection

Semaglutide is an FDA-approved, once-weekly injection that works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone in the body. This hormone helps regulate insulin, reduces hunger, and promotes feelings of fullness. Semaglutide has been clinically proven to support gradual, sustainable weight loss, making it an ideal choice for patients preparing for cosmetic surgery.

  • How it works: Semaglutide slows down digestion, reduces appetite, and helps you feel full longer, allowing for natural weight reduction.
  • Pre-surgery benefits: Helps you achieve a healthier weight, which can improve surgical outcomes.
  • Post-surgery benefits: Assists in preventing weight regain, helping you maintain your new figure.

2. Phentermine

Phentermine is a well-known appetite suppressant that has been used for decades to assist with weight loss. It works by affecting the central nervous system to reduce hunger and increase energy levels.

  • How it works: Phentermine boosts metabolism and curbs appetite, making it easier to follow a reduced-calorie diet.
  • Ideal for short-term weight loss: Phentermine is particularly effective for patients who need to lose weight quickly before surgery.
  • Post-surgery support: It can also be used for short-term weight maintenance under medical supervision to help prevent the return of weight immediately after your procedure.

Who is a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Management?

  • Before Surgery: If you have a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related health issues, medical weight management can help you get in the best possible shape for your cosmetic procedure.
  • After Surgery: For patients concerned about maintaining their results, semaglutide and phentermine provide effective solutions to support long-term weight stability.
