Unveiling New Tools in Your Weight Loss Journey: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

Trying to shed pounds can feel like an uphill battle. You adjust your diet, hit the gym, but sometimes the results seem slow or elusive. Heights Plastic Surgery understands this frustration. That’s why we’re excited to introduce two innovative medications that can be powerful allies in your weight loss journey: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.

Semaglutide: Your Appetite’s New BFF

For our patients in Houston Semaglutide can be a powerful addition to your weight loss routine. This injectable medication works by mimicking a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). GLP-1 helps regulate appetite and digestion, and Semaglutide gives it a boost. This can lead to an increased feeling of fullness that lasts longer. As a result, you may experience reduced cravings and potentially consume fewer calories overall.

Tirzepatide: A Double Whammy for Weight Loss

Tirzepatide can be viewed as an advanced development of Semaglutide. It’s still under FDA review for weight management, but early research is promising. Similar to Semaglutide, it targets the GLP-1 hormone, which influences satiety and blood sugar control. However, Tirzepatide takes an additional step by also impacting glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), another hormone involved in appetite and digestion. This dual approach has the potential to lead to even greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide alone.

What to Expect

Before, During, & After Medical Weight Loss in Houston

1. Attend a One-on-One Consultation.

Before you start your medical weight loss Houston patients will need an initial consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon and registered nurse. They will go over diet, medical history, and lifestyle habits. They will measure your BMI, body fat percentage, and metabolic function.

2. Approve Your Treatment Plan.

Once all that is assessed, they will describe the kind of medication or treatment you will need in order to meet your goals. You will know how the treatment works and how it’s manufactured. Depending on your analysis, our medical professionals may recommend: Hormonal Supplement - Semaglutide, Lipotropic Metabolic Injections and/or Non-injectable Oral Tablets - Bella Tablets

3. Track Your Progress.

Houston medical weight loss patients will come in for a monthly follow-up where we will assess and discuss your response to the treatment plan we picked. Only then can we decide if we need to make any dose adjustments or add any other supplements to your program.
