Taking Ozempic injections after liposuction

Thank you for your great question! You will still have subcutanous fat on your abdomen after liposuction so I would not worry about that. But Ozempic can be injected in other areas as well such as the upper thigh. In fact, there are some anecdotal reports that state there are fewer drug side effects when injected in the lower body as opposed to the abdomen. I hope this helps! Dr. Dima

Great question! Yes, patients can take these medications after liposuction. While liposuction does remove fat cells, adipose (fat cells) have an AMAZING ability to expand in size (unlike alot of other cells) so fat can accumulate and recur after such surgical procedures. have plenty of patients who have undergone weight loss or liposuction procedures that have had some egain and started injections. Speak with your physician to see if this is the right plan for you.

Yes. I have many patients who need weight loss in addition to localized rat reduction. For example, abdomen, muffin tops, back rolls or legs (inner & outer), thighs and knees. Some patients are facing a 50 pound weight loss journey and reward themselves with a liposuction boost to maybe get over a weight loss plateau. They lose weight literally on the operating table with 'fat only' reduction and give a little jump start to their metabolism. This is described in my earlier weight loss program, " Fast Track to Better Health". This program incorporates my research showing that large volume liposuction can effectively be integrated into a weigh program with health benefits.
