Many people struggle with weight loss, and with warmer weather and tank tops ahead, now is a prominent time for people seeking to achieve their dream body. To help hit your weight loss goal, we can now prescribe FDA-approved semaglutide medications for those beyond the original scope of users. Now, it can be used for medical weight loss and weight management among people without type 2 diabetes.
Semaglutide medications mimic the GLP-1 hormone naturally created by the body to increase insulin levels. This then decreases your blood sugar and reduces the amount of sugar released into the bloodstream and slows digestion. This medication also helps to signal your brain to feel full and suppress your appetite.
Taking semaglutide medication results in weight loss, but also has other health benefits like lowering your A1C and reducing the risk of a major cardiovascular event occurring, such as a stroke or heart attack.
Along with the use of semaglutide injections, it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. The combination of these three provides a more substantial result than one of them on their own.
Dr. Wendel’s Plastic Surgery office is here to answer your questions and assist you before, during, and after using semaglutide medication. Some patients that lose a large amount of weight may experience loose skin or more sunken looking features, to address these concerns we offer treatments like injectable fillers, facelifts, and body lifts to help you feel your best after weight loss.
To see if semaglutide injections are the right path for you, request a consultation with our team. During this consultation, we will discuss the treatment process, side effects, and your medical eligibility for semaglutide use.
By choosing Dr. Wendel Plastic Surgery for your treatment, you’ll be eligible for our gift package to new semaglutide patients including a skincare gift card and a free surgery consultation with Dr. Wendel. These gifts are available after hitting milestones during your first month of treatment and upon completion of your third month of treatment.
Call our office today at (615)921-2100 to discuss your options and schedule your consultation. Together, we can determine the best treatment and medication for you to feel and look your best.
