A Trusted Medical Tool  

What is Medical Weight Loss?

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.

Medical Weight Loss Options

About 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

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

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.

Guided Care from Start to Finish

What Is the Treatment Process Like?

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:

  • Nutritional support and lifestyle coaching
  • Labs and health checks as needed
  • Emotional support from a team that genuinely cares

There’s no pressure to be perfect—only consistent, supported progress.

Designed for Real People

Are medical weight loss options right for me?

You may be a candidate for medical weight loss if:

  • You have a BMI over 30, or over 27 with weight-related health concerns
  • You’ve struggled to lose or maintain weight with diet and exercise alone
  • You’re looking for a medical approach that’s grounded in compassion and science
  • You’re committed to making lifestyle shifts, not just chasing a quick fix

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.

Medical Weight Loss Recovery & Results

Medical Weight Loss Recovery

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:

  • Stay hydrated and prioritize lean protein and fiber
  • Avoid skipping meals, even when your appetite is lower
  • Stay in touch with your provider to adjust dosing as needed

Regular follow-ups will ensure your experience remains comfortable and effective.

Medical Weight Loss Results

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.
