Common Questions & FAQs
How do prescription weight loss medications work?
Prescription weight loss medications help regulate appetite, cravings, and metabolism by targeting key hormones in the brain and body. Medications like Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) mimic natural hormones that signal fullness, reduce hunger, and slow digestion—making it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan and lose weight sustainably.
What are the side effects and risks?
While most patients tolerate these medications well, potential side effects can include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, or mild stomach discomfort, especially when first starting treatment.
Serious risks are rare but may include gallbladder issues, pancreatitis, or low blood sugar—particularly in those with other health conditions. All treatments at Plastic Surgery Northwest are physician-supervised, with regular check-ins to monitor your progress and adjust your plan as needed.
Do I need to follow a specific diet?
Yes, our medically assisted weight loss program includes personalized nutrition guidance to support your results. While you won’t be required to follow a rigid or restrictive diet, we’ll help you adopt sustainable, balanced eating habits that work with your metabolism, support energy levels, and reinforce long-term weight management.
How do I maintain my weight loss after reaching my goal?
Long-term success comes from ongoing support and lifestyle adjustments. Our team will work with you to create a plan that includes regular check-ins, nutritional counseling, exercise guidance, and—when appropriate—continued medication or metabolic support. We focus on helping you build habits that last well beyond the program.
