Semaglutide GLP-1 Weight Loss Prescription in Philadelphia, PA

Transform Your Body – Not Just Your Weight. This is the essence of the weight loss program at The Lumen Center – a unique approach to achieving your dream body, not just shedding pounds. Our comprehensive program blends the power of weight loss medications with precision body contouring to help you achieve your ideal shape and size.

As opposed to simply letting weight loss drugs take over, we don’t just focus on the number on the scale—we focus on you. Losing weight is only part of the journey. Our holistic approach combines cutting-edge weight loss medications like Ozempic (Semaglutide) with expert body sculpting procedures, giving you a customized solution that targets both weight reduction and your body goals to achieve an ideal shape.

Four Steps of Lumen’s Comprehensive Weight Loss Plan

Free Consultation and Assessment

Every transformation journey begins with a personalized consultation. Our team will evaluate your body goals, health, and lifestyle to craft a customized weight loss and body contouring plan.

Customized Weight Loss Plan

If you’re seeking weight loss, GLP-1 agonists such as Ozempic or Wegovy will be prescribed and closely monitored. Our experienced nurse practitioner, who specializes in weight loss management, will guide your progress throughout this phase.

Body Contouring at the Right Time

Once you reach the ideal weight range, our board-certified physician will create a customized plan to achieve your body contouring goals. Whether it’s liposuction, a Brazilian Butt Lift, or facial fat transfer, we ensure that you achieve your body shape goals.

Post Procedure Care

We monitor our patients for a year after their procedure to ensure proper healing and help produce the results you’re looking for. In addition, we’ll continue guiding you through your weight loss journey until you achieve your ideal weight.

Body Contouring Procedures to Consider After Weight Loss

Laser Liposuction

Laser liposuction, or SmartLipo, is the gold standard in liposuction to remove pockets of fat in areas like the abdomen, love handles, thighs, back, and arms. By targeting these specific areas, liposuction can contour the body and further enhance the results of weight loss drugs to help achieve your ideal body shape.

Renuvion Skin Tightening

Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, is a revolutionary, nonsurgical procedure for skin tightening that shrinks and sculpts sagging skin. Renuvion can be used in tandem with liposuction to maximize your results or as a standalone treatment on various areas of the body to tighten skin.

Brazilian Butt Lift

A Brazilian Butt Lift (or Natural Buttocks Enhancement) involves harvesting fat from one area (typically the abdomen or love handles) and re-injecting the fat into the butt to achieve a natural, smooth, and fuller appearance.

Breast Enhancement

Natural breast enhancement uses fat transfer to make the breasts look and feel as natural as possible. Fat is soft, organic, and enduring, especially compared to artificial implants. A natural breast enhancement is a great choice if you’re seeking a moderate increase in size and want to avoid implants.

The Synergy Between GLP-1 Agonists and Body Contouring

Weight loss drugs like Semaglutide, Ozempic, and Wegovy provide systemic benefits that help you lose fat across your entire body, but body contouring focuses on precise shaping. By combining the two, we offer a dual strategy that enhances your transformation.

This combined approach helps you lose weight and sculpt your body to fit your aesthetic goals. Whether you want a slimmer waistline, fuller buttocks, or more toned arms, we provide tailored solutions that align with your personal vision.

Benefits of a Holistic Weight Loss Program with Body Contouring

Improve Shape and Volume: While you lose weight, our contouring procedures help retain or even add volume where you want it, such as in the face or buttocks, giving you a sculpted, natural look.
Skin Tightening: Body contouring tightens loose skin, leaving you with a smoother, more toned appearance after weight loss.
Maintain a Youthful Appearance: Losing weight too quickly can lead to skin laxity and make you look older than you are. This approach helps prevent sagging skin, tightens skin, and restores youthful contours.
Use It Before You Lose It: Liposuction can eliminate stubborn fat from problem areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, and back. Ensure you use the fat before you lose it to gain volume where you want it: In the face, buttocks, and breasts.
Natural-Looking Results: LUMEN is renowned for its stunning, natural-looking results.
Systemic Weight Loss: GLP-1 agonists address overall fat reduction, helping you achieve a healthier body and lifestyle.
Higher BMI Maximum: Patients with a higher BMI and didn’t previously qualify for body contouring procedures may now benefit from this approach.
Confidence: Achieving your ideal body shape will help you look and feel your very best, leading to more confidence.

Why You Need to Address Weight and Shape Together

GLP-1 agonists, a class of weight loss drugs like Ozempic (Semaglutide), only address one piece of the puzzle: reducing overall body fat. In the process, they are also known to weaken the layer of connective tissues that support the skin, including collagen and elastin. This can cause a sunken look and accelerated aging in the face known as “Ozempic face.” Other areas of the body can show increased laxity as well, including breasts, abdomen, arms, thighs, and butt (known as “Ozempic butt”).

For many patients, they also want to contour the body and create a more aesthetically pleasing silhouette. That’s why our strategic approach aims for weight loss while also preserving and using the fat while you have it to improve volume in specific areas of the face, butt, and breasts. It allows you to trim your body while sculpting it at the same time, helping you achieve the natural body shape you desire. We also monitor your weight loss progress throughout the process to ensure that the changes aren’t too rapid and negatively affect skin quality.

Facial Fat Transfer

One of the best procedures to address ‘Ozempic Face’ is natural facial fat transfer. Just like for a Brazilian Butt Lift, fat is harvested from other parts of your body, such as your abdomen or thighs, and transferred to areas of the face that have lost volume. Fat can treat several areas, including the temples, under-eye hollows, cheeks, and jawline.

Face Lift Procedures

LUMEN offers a variety of face tightening procedures to reverse the effects of aging, sagging skin. The Lumen Tight is a minimally invasive neck lift procedure that uses gentle liposuction to address a double chin, sagging jowls, and skin laxity on the neck. A mini facelift is designed to reverse sagging skin and muscles on the lower two-thirds of the face and can be performed together with the Lumen Tight. Lastly, we offer MyEllevate, a nonsurgical neck contouring procedure that lifts your neck and jaw in a firmer, sculpted contour and provides the missing structure weakened and lost with age.

Expertise You Can Trust

Our program is overseen by our highly experienced board-certified physician, Dr. Andrew Kwak, who specializes in body contouring procedures that yield stunning, natural results. With extensive knowledge of weight loss drugs, our nurse practitioner and head of the Lumen Women’s Wellness Program, Ligia Coppinger, guides you through your weight loss plan and ensures you are supported every step of the way. Together, they provide a seamless, integrated approach that combines medical expertise with aesthetic artistry.

Weight Loss Program with Body Contouring Frequently Asked Questions

How Do GLP-1 Agonists Work?

GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1) agonists are medications that mimic the body’s natural hormones to regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these drugs—such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro—have been shown to be highly effective in helping patients achieve significant weight loss. They work systemically, reducing overall appetite, regulating metabolism, and helping you shed pounds across your entire body.

How Do You Determine the Right Timing for Body Contouring While Taking Weight Loss Drugs?

We’ll monitor your weight loss closely and bring you in for check-in appointments. Typically, we aim for a BMI below 30 or within 20 pounds of your goal weight before planning body contouring procedures. At this point, there is still enough fat to work with to yield incredible results.

Can Body Contouring Procedures Replace Weight Loss Medications like Wegovy or Semaglutide?

In some cases, where patients are concerned about specific problem areas, such as the chin, abdomen, love handles, thighs, and arms, body contouring procedures may be sufficient to reach your goals. However, if your goal is to lose weight and maintain shape and volume in certain areas, then our procedures are designed to complement, not replace, weight loss medications. This integrated approach provides a more personalized and comprehensive care in weight management and body aesthetics.

How Can I Maintain My Body Contouring Results?

A healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is the key to long-term success. Even though body contouring permanently removes treated fat cells, maintaining weight is essential to prevent the remaining fat cells from expanding. We’ll continue to guide you on your prescribed maintenance program post-procedure.

How Do I Know Which Body Contouring Procedure Is Right for Me?

Selecting the appropriate procedures depends on your goals and other factors, such as fat available to harvest, skin laxity, recovery preferences, and health conditions. A thorough consultation is essential to determine your customized treatment plan.

What Can I Expect During Recovery, and How Long before I See Results?

Recovery time and results vary by procedure. Most patients need a long weekend for recovery, and we stress that following post-care instructions is crucial for optimal healing and results. Typically, results are visible within the first month, but it takes 4-6 months to see the full results of a body contouring procedure.

How Does Body Contouring Fit into a Holistic Health and Wellness Approach?

Body contouring is one component of this strategic approach to your transformation. Weight loss medications may provide the catalyst, and a healthy lifestyle throughout the process is important, too. The synergy between weight loss drugs and body contouring procedures empowers patients to achieve their body goals and improve their well-being.
