Medical Weight Loss/Wellness

Transform Your Health with Expert Help

Combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise, GLP-1 blend injections help you achieve rapid and sustained weight loss while reducing other related health risks. And, to ensure your safety and success, our board-certified plastic surgeons are here to guide and support you throughout your weight loss journey.

What Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide?

Two of the most popular GLP-1 medications are semaglutide and tirzepatide. Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic®/Wegovy®) is a breakthrough weight management medication. Originally developed to treat diabetes, semaglutide began making headlines in Hollywood for its remarkable weight loss benefits. Today, it’s widely available and is quickly becoming a medicine cabinet staple and household name.

Similarly, tirzepatide (the active ingredient found in Mounjaro® and Zepbound™) helps accelerate weight loss and is becoming a go-to weight management solution throughout the South Bay.

What Are the Benefits of Tirzepatide?

Like semaglutide, tirzepatide helps men and women struggling with obesity regulate blood sugar, curb appetite cravings, and delay the release of food from your stomach to signal your brain that you’re full.

However, tirzepatide has unique dual action properties that simultaneously activate GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) pathways. Early data suggests tirzepatide may lead to highly substantial weight loss compared to traditional weight loss methods or medications targeting only one hormone.

Ozempic Face & Butt Treatment Options for Torrance & Los Angeles

Sagging skin, wrinkles, and volume loss are unwelcome side effects of rapid weight loss for some medical weight loss patients. Many refer to these changes as Ozempic Face and Ozempic Butt because these changes (related to semaglutide, tirzepatide, and other GLP-1 blends) are often most noticeable in these areas. We offer a variety of surgical and nonsurgical procedures that can give you a refreshed and vibrant look that complements the new, slimmer you.

• Dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® fill in hollows, augment the cheeks and jawline, and smooth away wrinkles.
• Sculptra® is an injectable collagen stimulator that restores volume and improves skin quality in the face and buttocks.
• Fat transfer uses purified fat from another area to rejuvenate the face and add fullness to the buttocks (Brazilian butt lift).
• Facelift rejuvenates lax cheeks, jawline, and neck.
• Post weight loss plastic surgery, such as a thigh lift, removes excess skin for firmer contours.
