Summer is officially here—and that means long days, beach weekends, and plenty of reasons to feel confident in your own skin. If you’ve been trying to lose weight but find yourself stuck, it might be time to look into a more effective, science-backed approach.
At West Coast Plastic Surgery Center, we offer physician-guided weight loss programs using GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic—designed to help you slim down safely, steadily, and sustainably.
What Are GLP-1s and How Do They Work?
GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone that naturally occurs in your body. It helps regulate blood sugar, slow digestion, and signal to your brain that you're full.
Medications like Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Ozempic (semaglutide) mimic or enhance these effects, resulting in:
Decreased appetite
Reduced cravings
Longer-lasting satiety after meals
More stable blood sugar levels
Over time, this leads to consistent weight loss, without the stress of crash dieting or extreme workouts.
Why Now? The Summer Motivation Factor
There’s something about summer that makes us want to feel lighter, stronger, and more vibrant. Whether you're preparing for travel, a big event, or just want to feel better in your clothes, GLP-1s like Mounjaro and Ozempic can help kickstart progress when other efforts have plateaued.
Some of the top benefits reported by our patients include:
Noticeable weight loss within the first few months
Better control over emotional or stress eating
Increased energy and mental clarity
Fewer food cravings, especially late at night
Improved metabolic markers like blood sugar and cholesterol
And yes, many people tell us they finally feel like themselves again—just in time for summer adventures.
Our Customized Approach to GLP-1 Weight Loss
At West Coast Plastic Surgery Center, we don’t offer cookie-cutter plans. We carefully evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and goals to determine whether Mounjaro, Ozempic, or another GLP-1 is right for you.
Our program includes:
Initial consultation and lab work
Customized dosage and monitoring by a physician
Ongoing check-ins to track progress and adjust as needed
Optional pairing with body contouring or skin tightening for enhanced results
We’re here to make sure you get real results—safely, confidently, and with support at every step.
Enhancing Results with Body Contouring
GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro help you lose weight, but they don’t target specific areas or firm the skin. That’s why many patients choose to combine their treatment with non-surgical body contouring, such as:
CoolSculpting or EON Laser to eliminate stubborn fat pockets
CoolTone to strengthen and tone muscle
Endosphères to improve skin tone and reduce bloating
Skin tightening treatments to help with elasticity and definition
Together, these treatments create visible, camera-ready results that can be maintained long after summer ends.
