If you’ve struggled with weight loss despite doing “everything right,” you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. The truth is, long-term weight management is complex. At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we offer medically supervised weight loss options, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, that help reset your metabolism and support real, sustainable change.
Unlike crash diets or one-size-fits-all apps, our approach is personalized and guided by medical expertise. You’ll get a plan that considers your lifestyle, goals, and health history—and we’ll walk with you every step of the way.

Medical weight loss refers to supervised weight management programs that use medications and clinical guidance to help patients lose weight safely and effectively.
These aren’t magic pills—they’re tools backed by science, used alongside healthy habits to support lasting change.
At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, we utilize two of the most trusted medications in this field: semaglutide and tirzepatide.
Both medications are administered via a once-weekly injection and can be adjusted over time based on how your body responds.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used initially to treat type 2 diabetes. In weight loss patients, it works by mimicking a natural hormone that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It slows digestion, helps you feel full longer, and reduces food cravings—making it easier to maintain a calorie deficit without feeling like you’re in a constant battle with hunger.
Tirzepatide combines GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists, targeting two hormone pathways involved in appetite regulation and metabolic control. Many patients find it leads to even greater weight loss results than semaglutide. Your provider will help determine which medication is best for your body and your goals.
Everything begins with a consultation, where we’ll discuss your goals, health history, and any previous weight loss attempts. If you’re a candidate, we’ll initiate treatment with either semaglutide or tirzepatide and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your response and make any necessary adjustments.
You’ll also receive:
There’s no pressure to be perfect—only consistent, supported progress.
You may be a candidate for medical weight loss if:
This program is not for women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive, or those with certain endocrine or pancreatic conditions. We’ll walk through all safety considerations at your initial consultation.
Patients often tell us that this program finally gave them the momentum they needed. With the constant distraction of cravings dialed down, it becomes easier to focus on nourishing habits, better sleep, and exercise—all without feeling burned out or deprived.
Benefits include:
There’s no recovery process in the traditional sense—this is not a surgical treatment. However, it does take time for your body to adjust. In the first few weeks, some patients experience mild digestive changes, such as nausea, constipation, or reduced appetite. These effects are temporary and often improve as your dose is gradually increased.
To support your progress:
Regular follow-ups will ensure your experience remains comfortable and effective.
Most patients begin noticing a reduction in cravings and subtle weight loss within the first 4–6 weeks. More significant changes typically happen over 12–16 weeks, depending on your starting point and consistency.
The best results come from combining medication with sustainable habits—so we support both. Results can last as long as you maintain lifestyle changes or remain on a maintenance dose. Patients who taper off successfully often retain their results with ongoing guidance and support.
While our name may be best known for surgical transformations, we believe whole-body wellness starts from within. This program is designed for real life—busy schedules, emotional ups and downs, and the complexity of the human experience.
Our team offers:
Because when it comes to your body, there’s no shame—only support and solutions.
Results vary, but clinical studies have shown average losses of 10–20% of starting body weight over several months when combined with healthy habits.
No specific diet is required, but we’ll recommend nutrition strategies to help support energy and balance. Many patients naturally gravitate toward lighter, more protein-rich meals.
There is potential to regain weight if lifestyle habits aren’t sustained. That’s why we focus on building long-term strategies—not just medication use.
Yes. Many patients utilize this program to maintain or enhance their results after procedures such as body contouring or liposuction.
