Weight loss injections at Avante Plastic Surgery offer a medically guided path to sustainable weight management. Using modern GLP-1-based therapies, we help you control your appetite, stabilize blood sugar levels, and support steady fat reduction. You receive personalized dosing and close monitoring to ensure you reach and maintain your ideal weight.
About
Sustainable weight loss is difficult because your body is biologically wired to resist calorie restriction. When you eat less, your metabolism slows, hunger hormones rise, and cravings intensify, a built-in survival response that makes long-term weight loss incredibly challenging. Even with a disciplined diet and exercise, these hormonal shifts can lead to weight regain.
GLP-1 injections work by helping your body overcome these natural barriers. GLP-1 is a hormone that regulates appetite, blood sugar, and gastric emptying. Medical-grade GLP-1 medications mimic this hormone to reduce hunger, prolong a sense of fullness, and stabilize glucose levels, creating conditions where fat loss becomes consistent and easier to maintain. When combined with lifestyle guidance, these injections support steady, controlled weight loss without triggering the body’s typical “starvation mode” response.
Benefits
GLP-1 injections give you a biologically supported path to weight loss by reducing the body’s natural resistance to calorie restriction.
With consistent use under medical supervision, you can experience meaningful improvements in how your body manages hunger, energy, and fat storage, including:
- Reduced appetite and fewer cravings
- Improved fullness after smaller meals
- More stable blood sugar throughout the day
- Less metabolic slowdown during weight loss
- Consistent, steady fat reduction over time
- Support for long-term weight maintenance
- Enhanced motivation from feeling more in control of hunger
- Convenient once-weekly injections that can be self-administered
- Average weight loss of 10–15% of your body weight
Consultation
During your consultation, your provider reviews your medical history, weight changes, appetite patterns, and metabolic concerns to understand your baseline. You undergo a focused exam and, if needed, lab work to assess glucose levels, thyroid function, and eligibility. Together, we discuss your goals and lifestyle to select the most suitable GLP-1 drugs. Your starting dose is determined by your health and sensitivity, then gradually increased over several weeks to minimize side effects and maximize effectiveness.
Candidates
GLP-1 weight loss injections are formulated for individuals who want a medically supported, sustainable approach to fat reduction, especially if traditional weight loss methods haven’t delivered lasting results.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You struggle with persistent hunger or cravings despite healthy habits
- You have a BMI of 27+ with weight-related concerns
- You have a BMI of 30+ and need medical weight loss
- You gain weight easily after dieting due to a metabolic slowdown
- You want structured guidance and monitored dosing
- You are managing prediabetes or insulin resistance
- You have no history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy soon
- You can commit to follow-up appointments and lifestyle adjustments
Administration
You’ll self-administer your GLP-1 injection once weekly using a small, pre-filled pen. Your provider shows you exactly how to inject into the abdomen or thigh, rotate sites, and store the medication. As your body adapts, your dose increases in planned increments to improve tolerance and enhance appetite control. You’ll check in regularly so we can monitor side effects, track weight and glucose trends, and fine-tune your regimen. You receive ongoing guidance, nutritional support, and clear adjustments to ensure optimal results.
Side Effects
With GLP-1s, you may experience temporary nausea, bloating, mild constipation, or decreased appetite as your digestive system adjusts. Your provider will show you how to ease discomfort by eating smaller meals, increasing hydration, and avoiding heavy or high-fat foods early on. If nausea occurs, you can slow dose increases or adjust timing. You’ll also learn how to watch for rare issues like persistent vomiting or dehydration. You stay in close contact with your provider so we can address any symptoms promptly.
Results
You can expect to notice changes in appetite within the first few weeks, with visible weight reduction typically beginning around weeks 4 to 6. Most patients lose 10 to 15% of their body weight over several months when combining injections with healthy nutrition and activity. Your provider monitors your progress and helps you maintain results by guiding lifestyle habits, adjusting dosing as needed, and recommending long-term strategies to prevent rebound weight gain. With consistency, your results can remain sustainable.
