Struggling to lose weight, despite doing all the “right” things, is very, very common. You’re not alone—and it’s not just about willpower. You deserve the support you need to meet your goals. At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, we offer a medical weight loss program that takes the guesswork out of getting to a healthy body weight. With real medical experts guiding you, we help you achieve your weight loss goals and improve your overall health in a way that fits your life.
At Nip & Tuck Plastic Surgery, our medical weight loss Atlanta services are led by double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Jones. We combine real science with one-on-one support to help adults safely and effectively lose weight—and feel more confident in their own skin.
We also incorporate peptide therapies, such as Tesamorelin and Semorelin, for patients who may benefit from extra metabolic and hormonal support. These peptides can help stimulate growth hormone release, improve body composition, and complement the effects of weight loss medications for better overall results.
We build every plan around the person, factoring in your medical history, current weight, lifestyle, eating habits, and wellness goals to make sure it’s both safe and effective.
Medical weight loss is a personalized, non-surgical program designed to help people lose weight safely and effectively under the supervision of medical professionals. Unlike fad diets or generic plans, medical weight loss includes tools that actually work, like GLP-1 medications, to help you reach a healthy body weight.
GLP-1 medications work by slowing down digestion, making you feel full sooner, and helping control cravings and appetite. That means fewer spikes and crashes, less mindless eating, and better portion control—all of which add up to real, steady progress.
In addition to medication, we’ll provide support with:
The goal isn’t just to lose weight—it’s to improve your health, support your well-being, and help you feel more in control of your body and life.
When your weight is under control, it opens the door to better overall health, more energy, and better emotional balance. Many women and men who complete our program experience better sleep, more stable moods, and a stronger sense of self-confidence.
Benefits may include:
When combined with healthy habits and long-term support, the effects go far beyond weight loss—they touch every part of your life.
If you’re planning a procedure like a tummy tuck, Mommy Makeover, or body contouring surgery, medical weight loss can help you get your body in the best possible place beforehand. Most plastic surgery procedures work best when you're at or near your goal weight. GLP-1 medications can help you lose weight in a medically supervised, steady way—so your results after surgery are safer, longer-lasting, and more satisfying.
A medically supervised weight loss program is often helpful for patients who want to prepare for procedures like:
If you’ve been told to get closer to your target weight before scheduling surgery, this medical weight loss program can help you get there in a safe, supportive, and manageable way.
A good candidate for medical weight loss in Atlanta is someone who has struggled to lose weight on their own, wants help from medical experts, and is ready to commit to a realistic program.
You may be eligible if:
If you’re not sure whether you qualify, we’ll discuss it all during your initial consultation. We’ll review your medical history, current medications, and health risks to make sure the program is safe and effective for you.
Your first step is an initial consultation at our Atlanta office. During this appointment, we’ll sit down and discuss your weight loss goals, eating habits, lifestyle, medical history, and overall health. We may also order lab work or check hormone levels to look at the bigger picture.
This helps us build a medical weight loss program that’s truly tailored to you—your current weight, daily routine, and wellness goals. We’ll also walk through how much weight you may be able to lose and how long it may take, based on your body and plan.
Before starting, we may ask you to keep a short food log or update your exercise routine slightly. Nothing extreme—just the basics to help you build momentum.
Our medical weight loss program isn’t a surgery or one-time procedure—it’s an ongoing treatment plan guided by a medical team. Most patients receive a weekly weight loss medication (usually semaglutide or tirzepatide) that helps control appetite, improve blood sugar levels, and slow digestion so you feel full longer.
In addition to medication, your plan may include:
There’s no anesthesia, no recovery time, and no downtime—you can start treatment and go about your normal day.
Most patients begin seeing results within 4–6 weeks. You may first notice better control over your appetite, fewer cravings, and a more stable mood. As your weight loss journey continues, you’ll likely feel lighter, more energized, and better in your clothes.
We’ll be there for you throughout the process, helping you make smart changes and keep the weight off. To maintain results, we’ll encourage you to keep up your diet, stick to your healthy habits, and schedule follow-ups to make sure your body is still responding well.
You’ll also learn how to adapt your program over time—because weight loss doesn’t stop at a number on the scale. It’s about feeling good, staying healthy, and building habits that last.
