GLP-1 medications can be effective for weight loss, with some people losing up to 30% of their body weight.
The amount of weight you lose on a GLP-1 drug depends on the drug, your dose, and your body's response. Most medications offer modest weight loss. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide offer an average weight loss of 15 to 20 percent of total body weight.
GLP-1 medications are generally considered safe. Tell your medical consultant about any personal or family history of health conditions and medications you are currently taking.
Most side effects impact the gastrointestinal tract including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, gas and bloating, low appetite, fatigue, dizziness, and constipation.
Effects can be seen as early as four weeks after starting GLP-1 medications, and notable results are most common at three months.
Your consultation with Dr. Durkin is a collaboration. He will take the time to get to know you, your facelift goals and your health status, kicking off a long-term partnership. Dr. Durkin will also educate you on what to expect and how the process works.
