The skinny shot has been one of the hottest treatments in plastic surgery to date. The skinny shot is Semaglutide, the generic name for the medication found in Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro; it has recently been used as a weight-loss medication that curbs your appetite leading to a decrease in calorie intake. The results have been amazing. Dr. Franco has lost over 45 pounds in just 3 months. At Austin Plastic Surgeon, we use a compound version of the medication; thus, it does not take from the supply needed for diabetic patients. The shot is great for patients trying to reach their ideal weight in preparation for surgery or who want to live their fit and fabulous lives! Listen to Nurse Sarah, PA Gilbert, and Dr. Franco discuss this amazing medication and how it can set you up for long-term success.
