Weight Loss Treatments
At Premier Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, our goal is to help you love your body – from the way it looks to the way it feels. In addition to our vast selection of surgical and non-surgical body, breast, and facial enhancement options, our team is proud to offer cutting-edge treatments to encourage healthy, long-term weight management.
We work with patients at various stages of their weight loss journey. Our team understands that every patient is unique and that traditional weight loss measures alone (i.e. diet and exercise) may not work for everyone. No matter your physical needs and aesthetic preferences, we will work closely with you to create a personalized plan for safe, healthy weight loss.
What Are the Benefits of Physician-Supervised Weight Management?
Physician-supervised weight management offers a structured approach to achieving meaningful, lasting results. Unlike fad diets or over-the-counter solutions, our program is tailored to your unique health profile, metabolic needs, and personal goals. Under direct medical oversight, patients can benefit from clinically proven strategies, regular progress monitoring, and adjustments that help keep results on track. Beyond the number on the scale, medically-guided programs can address underlying factors contributing to weight gain. Patients often experience improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar, energy levels, and overall quality of life, making this a comprehensive investment in long-term health rather than a temporary fix.
Who Is a Candidate for Our Physician-Supervised Weight Management Program?
Our physician-supervised weight management program is designed for adults who have struggled to achieve meaningful results through diet and exercise alone. Patients who have tried other weight loss programs without lasting success may also benefit from the added accountability and medical expertise our program provides. A thorough consultation, body mass index (BMI) assessment, and health evaluation allow our team to determine whether this program is appropriate for you, as well as develop a personalized plan aligned with your goals.
How Long Do Physician-Supervised Weight Management Results Last?
The longevity of your results generally depends on a combination of factors, including your commitment to lifestyle changes, ongoing follow-up care, and the habits developed throughout the program. Medically-supervised weight management is designed not just to produce short-term loss, but to equip patients with the tools and strategies needed to maintain a healthier weight over time. Many patients sustain significant results for years when they continue to follow the nutritional guidance and lifestyle recommendations established during treatment. Regular check-ins with our team mean continued support and the ability to address any challenges before they become setbacks, reinforcing the habits that make long-term success more achievable.
Body Contouring Options After Physician-Supported Weight Management
Significant weight loss is a tremendous achievement, but it can sometimes leave behind excess, stretched skin and stubborn areas of fat that diet and exercise alone cannot address. Body contouring procedures are often an excellent next step for patients who have reached or are approaching their goal weight and want to refine their results. A personalized consultation can help determine which approach or combination of procedures best aligns with your body and goals.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck can remove excess abdominal skin and tighten weakened or separated muscles for a flatter, more toned midsection. This procedure can be especially beneficial for patients who experience loose, overhanging skin following substantial weight loss. It may even be combined with liposuction for more comprehensive contouring of the waistline and surrounding areas.
Liposuction
Liposuction can target and eliminate localized fat deposits that remain resistant to weight loss efforts, refining the body’s overall shape and proportion. It is commonly performed on the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, and arms. When used alongside other body contouring procedures, liposuction usually results in a smoother, more sculpted physique.
Breast Surgery
Oftentimes, weight loss causes changes in breast volume, position, and shape, which breast surgery can effectively address. Depending on your concerns and goals, options may include a breast lift to correct sagging, augmentation to restore lost volume, or a reduction to alleviate discomfort and improve proportion.
Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
An arm lift helps remove the loose, sagging skin that often develops along the back of the upper arms after significant weight loss. This procedure can reshape and tighten the arm contour from the underarm to the elbow, creating a smoother, more defined appearance. Many patients find this procedure particularly impactful for improving comfort and confidence in everyday clothing.
Thigh Lift
A thigh lift can reshape the inner and outer thighs by removing excess skin and tissue that typically develops after major weight loss. This surgery aims to improve both the appearance and function of the thighs, reducing skin irritation and chafing that excess skin can cause. It may be tailored to address the inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, depending on each patient’s needs.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery helps reduce enlarged or excess male breast tissue, creating a flatter, firmer, and more masculine chest profile. Weight loss can sometimes improve gynecomastia, but residual glandular tissue or loose skin may still require surgical correction. This procedure frequently has a profound impact on a patient’s self-confidence and comfort in their appearance.
A personalized consultation can help determine which combination of procedures best aligns with your goals.
