What Is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes. However, in recent years, researchers discovered its powerful secondary benefit: suppressing appetite and supporting steady weight loss.
When injected weekly, Semaglutide mimics a natural hormone that controls hunger and blood sugar. This means you feel fuller longer, eat less without trying, and experience fewer cravings throughout the day. Patients typically lose between 15% to 20% of their body weight over several months, depending on lifestyle and dosage.
At Sykes Plastic Surgery, we use Semaglutide as part of a comprehensive medical weight loss program that includes progress tracking, nutritional support, and ongoing physician oversight.

- Improved Metabolic Health: Many patients report better blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, and reduced inflammation.
- Appetite Regulation: Fewer cravings and smaller portion sizes feel natural, not forced.
- Increased Energy: As your weight decreases, your energy and stamina increase.

Am I a Candidate for Semaglutide?
You may be an ideal candidate for Semaglutide medical weight loss treatments if:
- You have a BMI over 27 and are dealing with weight-related health concerns (like high blood pressure or prediabetes)
- You’ve tried traditional diet and exercise programs with limited success
- You’re looking for a non-surgical solution to weight loss
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are ready to commit to a long-term lifestyle transformation under medical guidance
During your consultation, we’ll determine if Semaglutide is the best fit for your unique physiology and goals. If not, we’ll recommend alternatives within our advanced weight management program.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During treatment, most patients notice a reduction in hunger and increased satiety after just a few doses. Weight loss tends to be gradual but consistent, typically 1 to 2 pounds per week. Unlike stimulant-based weight loss drugs, Semaglutide works with your body, not against it.
Common side effects may include nausea, constipation, or fatigue, especially in the early stages. These are usually mild and temporary. Our team will help manage them with dose adjustments or supportive care.
After the initial course, many patients continue treatment to maintain their results, especially if they have a significant amount of weight to lose. Others may transition to a maintenance plan that includes nutrition coaching, light medication tapering, and regular check-ins.

How Fast Will I See Results?
While every weight loss journey is different, patients often start seeing measurable progress within 4 to 6 weeks. By the 3-month mark, many have already achieved a noticeable transformation, with more energy, improved confidence, and healthier habits.
Because Semaglutide doesn’t force extreme calorie deficits, your body adjusts naturally, and that’s why results are easier to maintain long-term.
What If I’ve Tried Other Weight Loss Programs Before?
That’s exactly why Semaglutide exists.
Many of our patients have tried it all—keto, intermittent fasting, weight loss apps, supplements, and even restrictive meal plans. Semaglutide is different because it addresses the biological side of weight gain. When used under expert supervision, it creates a foundation for real metabolic change that makes progress sustainable.

Yes, absolutely. Semaglutide is FDA-approved for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy. Doctors can prescribe it to adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition like high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. It must be part of a medically supervised program, which is exactly how we approach it at Sykes Plastic Surgery—safely, strategically, and with your long-term success in mind.
Semaglutide is one of the most effective non-surgical weight loss treatments available today. In clinical studies, patients lost an average of 15% to 20% of their body weight over the course of several months. Results are gradual, safe, and sustainable—especially when paired with lifestyle guidance and regular medical check-ins. Many patients say it’s the first time they’ve been able to lose weight without constantly battling hunger or hitting a plateau.
On average, patients lose between 1 to 2 pounds per week, with total weight loss ranging from 30 to 50 pounds or more, depending on your starting weight and how long you remain on the medication. Some patients see results faster, while others take a steadier path—what matters most is that the weight comes off consistently and in a way that’s easier to maintain.
