Weight Management

Barrett Plastic Surgery is now offering a holistic weight management program featuring two compounded medications on the cutting edge of weight loss. These medications mimic hormones that naturally occur in all of our bodies. GLP-1 is one of the hormones necessary for digestion, specifically the one that tells us when we’re full and assists in optimizing insulin. It slows down the digestive process, making us feel full for more extended periods of time, thus functioning as the body’s natural appetite suppressant.
‍
Both of these supplements have amino acid sequencing similar to GLP-1 and can be administered via injection. The medications not only make us feel fuller for longer but also assist the GLP-1 receptors in the brain, effectively reducing cravings and quieting the "food noise". The synthetic versions of GLP-1 amplify a natural process already happening within the body, promoting increased weight loss.

PROCESS: To begin the program, patients will have an in-person or virtual consultation to discuss their goals and concerns to find out if they are a good candidate. Then, after a comprehensive analysis of the patient’s lab work, and if indicated, the doctor will prescribe one of the injections. Patients can either receive their injections on-site or, if they are California, Texas, or Utah residents, the medication can be shipped directly to their homes. Patients will work with their assigned coach to monitor and improve their diet — the injections deliver the best results when a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Once you decide to proceed with the program, you will subscribe to a monthly weight management program online, in-person, or over the phone. Once you start the program, there are no prorated refunds.
