Where should I inject Zepbound after stomach liposuction?

You really can inject semaglutide anywhere you still have a little fat under your skin. It doesn't make a difference.

Hello and thank you for your question! After stomach liposuction, if you're using Zepbound or a similar medication, it’s important to choose the injection site carefully. Zepbound is typically administered subcutaneously into areas with sufficient fat. The common injection sites for subcutaneous injections are:

Abdomen: This is the most common site, but since you've had stomach liposuction, you should avoid injecting directly into the treated area until fully healed. Wait until the swelling, bruising, and tenderness have resolved, and consult with your provider to ensure it’s safe.

Thighs: The front or outer part of the thigh is another popular site.

Upper Arms: The back or outer area of the upper arm.

Buttocks: The fatty tissue of the buttocks is also a valid injection site.

Tips:
-Rotate injection sites to avoid irritation or tissue damage.

-Avoid areas that are swollen, bruised, or healing from the liposuction procedure.

-Always clean the injection site with an alcohol swab beforehand.

-Follow the guidance of your prescribing physician or medical provider for post-lipo care and specific instructions regarding Zepbound.

Best of luck!

The medication should be injected into fat. You can consider the flanks or back of the arms as options. Rotate your injection sites for maximal absorption. Contact your provider if further clarification is needed.
