If you are struggling with your weight, but diet and exercise are not granting you the results you desire, you may feel frustrated or discouraged. You may have heard about weight loss medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro®.
Originally used to lower blood sugar in patients with diabetes, these medications proved to be effective in helping patients lose weight and lower blood pressure. Under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, these medications can deliver life-changing results for patients looking to lose weight.
At Plastic Surgery Center of Tampa, we offer monitored medical weight loss to patients using weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. Many of our patients also choose to enhance their results with body contouring procedures to complement their weight loss journey.
What Is Medical Weight Loss?
Monitored medical weight loss involves the use of prescription weight loss medications to help patients lose weight safely and effectively. These include semaglutide and tirzepatide. We also utilize B-12 and glycine to supplement.
We Offer Virtual Consultations for Your Convenience
Dr. Perez is proud to offer virtual consultations so you can discuss your cosmetic goals and learn about treatment options from the comfort of your home.

Semaglutide
Semaglutide, best known under brand names like Ozempic® and Wegovy®, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist. It mimics an intestinal hormone responsible for insulin production, which lowers your appetite. Semaglutide is administered as a weekly injection.
Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide, sold under brand names like Mounjaro®, is an FDA-approved medication that mimics hormones that regulate blood sugar and control appetite. It is administered as a weekly injection.
Glycine and B-12
Glycine is an amino acid that helps prevent loss of muscle mass. It may also stimulate fat-burning, making it an excellent supplement for weight loss patients.
B-12 is a water-soluble B complex vitamin. Weight loss patients often experience low levels of B-12. As a weight loss supplement, the vitamin regulates energy levels, combats fatigue, and encourages physical activity, further promoting weight loss.
Am I a Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
Dr. Perez will thoroughly discuss your medical history, health concerns, and candidacy at your consultation. Good candidates for weight loss medication include those who:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher
- Have a significant amount of weight to lose (20 pounds or more)
- Have tried to lose weight before without success
To find out if you’re a good candidate for medical weight loss, schedule a consultation by calling (813) 877-3739.
When Will I See My Results From Medical Weight Loss?
Every patient is different, so results will vary. However, most patients see noticeable results within eight to twelve weeks, or the point when most patients have safely reached their target dose.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide treatments start with a lower dose, usually 0.5 mg, which is gradually increased over time under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. While many patients see some weight loss within the first month, significant weight loss tends to accompany higher doses.

Post-Weight Loss Body Contouring Surgery
After their weight loss journey, many patients choose to complement their results with body contouring procedures. You and Dr. Perez can discuss your goals during your consultation and create a treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic desires. Popular choices for body contouring include the following:
Tummy Tuck
After losing weight, many patients are left with loose or hanging skin, especially in the waist area. A tummy tuck is designed to remove excess skin and fat on the abdomen. An extended tummy tuck can also address the flanks and lower back. Separated abdominal muscles can also be repaired, making this procedure excellent for patients who desire a stronger core and slimmer waistline.
Arm Lift
Brachioplasty, or arm lift surgery, is designed to remove loose skin and excess fat on the upper arms and the armpit. Dr. Perez utilizes short-scar and minimally invasive techniques to provide patients with tighter, firmer arms.
Breast Lift
Weight loss can cause sagging, deflated breasts. Breast lift surgery is designed to remove excess skin and reposition the areola, resulting in a youthful, elevated bustline.
Facelift
The dreaded “Ozempic face” is a phenomenon that describes loose skin and a hollow appearance in the face following significant weight loss. Facelift surgery can rejuvenate the face by removing excess skin, tightening the jawline, and restoring volume with fat grafting or dermal fillers. Dr. Perez uses various facelift techniques, including endoscopic facelifts with minimal scarring.
