What is Physician-Supervised Weight Loss?
Weight management medications and a personalized program managed by a doctor can help individuals achieve their weight loss goals by helping control appetite. Depending on the nature of your treatment plan, your regimen may involve disintegrating oral medications as part of a medically-supervised weight loss program, ensuring optimal safety and effectiveness.
At our Greensboro practice, Dr. Contogiannis partners with an FDA pharmacy to provide custom weight loss medications, which may also include B vitamins to boost cell metabolism and energy levels.
What Can FDA-Approved Weight Loss Medications Achieve?
When conducted under the support and supervision of a qualified doctor or board-certified plastic surgeon, FDA-approved weight loss medications can provide sustainable, long-term weight loss. In many cases, these treatments allow a patient to finally achieve the health goals they were unable to reach with dieting and exercise alone. By treating obesity and weight loss as a metabolic condition rather than a matter of willpower, FDA-regulated weight loss medications can:
- Reduce hunger and appetite
- Increase satiety and allow patients to feel fuller faster than they normally would
- Complement a healthy diet and exercise regimen for safe and effective weight loss
- Slow digestion and improve metabolic function
Unlike weight loss programs undertaken at a patient’s own risk, Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery and Wellness only provides Greensboro patients with physician-supervised weight loss tailored to each person’s needs, medical history, and individual concerns. We strive to provide patients with safe and effective ways to achieve their desired appearance and health goals.
