Medical Weight Loss and Wellness Done Right
At Bucky Plastic Surgery in Philadelphia, we offer an innovative physician-supported weight management program designed to help patients improve overall health through weight and muscle management.* Our approach features FDA-approved GLP-1 medication injections, that target GLP-1 receptors to promote appetite suppression and regulate blood sugar levels, potentially making it easier for you to reduce body fat while preserving lean muscle.*
Why Choose FDA-Approved GLP-1 Medications?
FDA-approved GLP-1 medications work by mimicking glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that influences food intake and cravings. As an FDA-approved weight loss treatment,1 they help control body weight by reducing appetite and promoting feelings of fullness. Clinical studies show that treatment with FDA-approved GLP-1 medications potentially leads to significant weight loss,2 making it ideal for patients struggling with obesity, high BMI, or related medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol issues.* Our program offers tailored treatment plans that address your unique health needs.

FAQs About FDA-Approved GLP-1 Medications
FDA-approved GLP-1 treatment is approved for adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (classified as obesity) or those with a BMI of 27 or higher with at least one weight-related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.3 It is ideal for those who have struggled to achieve weight loss through diet and exercise alone.
As with any weight loss medication, there may be potential side effects. Some patients report constipation, nausea, or mild digestive discomfort4. Rest assured that our team is here to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan if needed. Our medical providers offer thorough follow-up care and support to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Patients may notice changes within the first few weeks of FDA-approved GLP-1 treatment, but results typically occur after 12 weeks or longer. Individual results vary based on factors such as adherence to the treatment plan and lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.
FDA-approved GLP-1 medications have been approved for long-term weight management. Clinical trials have shown them to be effective and safe for extended use, with many patients maintaining their weight loss after completing the program.* However, ongoing follow-up with our medical providers is essential to ensure the treatment continues to meet your needs.
Combining FDA-approved GLP-1 treatment with healthy lifestyle changes is key to achieving and maintaining weight loss goals.5 Our program includes expert nutritional counseling and support to help you adopt sustainable dietary habits and an exercise routine that complements your treatment.*
The duration of treatment varies for each individual. Many patients continue taking it for several months to achieve their goals, while others may require longer-term use to maintain their results.* Your provider will work with you to determine the best plan for your long-term health.
