I had a tummy tuck and liposuction in 2019. I gained weight back and want to do semaglutide injections. Will I be able to inject into my stomach after I’ve had liposuction done there? I know the fat loss is permanent in those areas that was liposuctioned. Ozempic needs to be put into subcutaneous fat and worried I’ll waste the medication if I inject it into my tummy.
Answer: INJECTING OZEMPIC 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

Answer: GLP-1/GIP Injections after liposuction 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.

Answer: Can or Should I take Ozempic after liposuction? 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.

Answer: Ozempic after liposcution Hello, and thank you for your question. Ozempic needs to be injected into the subcutaneous fat to be effective. It does not matter if you had liposcution in your tummy, as long as your can inject into fat. If you are lacking fat in your abdominal area, you can inject subcutaneously into the back of your arm or your thigh. Injecting into fat is injecting into fat. Just like placing an IV in a vein in your arm versus your leg. The same result will occur, it is simply just placement change. I would recommend consulting with your healthcare provider who will be prescribing this to better discuss where and how to inject.

Answer: Taking Ozempic injections after liposuction Even after a tummy tuck and lipo you should still have a layer of fat present to inject the medication. If you are not sure have your physician help you the first time.
