I’m Ready to Lose Weight with Posh!
Posh Plastic Surgery Weight Loss Program
If you’re on a weight loss journey and struggling to see results, you’re not alone. Many people who have difficulty losing weight don’t realize that there may be underlying medical factors at play. These factors need to be addressed to achieve and maintain your weight loss goals.
The Posh Plastic Surgery Weight Loss Program could be your solution. Developed and supervised by Dr. Sofia Kirk, our medication-assisted weight loss program is a step above the rest. Posh Plastic Surgery combines FDA-approved weight management medications with ongoing medical support to help you succeed.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Initial Consultation: to determine your eligibility, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment, including a physical, blood work, and body fat composition analysis. If you are approved to begin the Posh Plastic Surgery Weight Loss Program, we’ll determine the best route of treatment for you and your specific goals.
Step 2: Begin Your Treatment Course: our supervised program includes educational materials, self-administered injection training, and monthly monitoring visits to our office to make sure you’re on track to meet your goals. During these appointments, you can also ask questions and address any concerns that may arise.
Step 3: Post-Program Care: weight loss often isn’t the end of the journey. Significant weight loss can often result in loose, sagging skin, changes to the breasts, abdomen, and buttocks, or other aesthetic concerns. Posh Plastic Surgery offers a variety of post-weight loss procedures that can help you look and feel more confident in your new body.

What is Semaglutide?
Initially developed as a treatment for Type II diabetes and other insulin-resistance disorders, Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA). Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, the hormone your body releases to help you feel full and satisfied. It aids in weight loss in a few different ways:
- It helps manage blood glucose levels
- It boosts your body’s natural calorie-burning capabilities
- It reduces your appetite and curbs cravings
Many patients who use Semaglutide for weight loss also:
- Experience increased energy
- Reduce risks for heart disease and stroke
- See improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels
- Report a greater sense of overall well-being
That said, Semaglutide isn’t the best option for everyone. If you have a personal or family history of thyroid cancer, or pancreatitis, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, Semaglutide treatments may not be right for you. In rare cases, patients may also experience allergic reactions to Semaglutide or its ingredients. Please be sure to discuss your known allergies with your provider before beginning a Semaglutide regimen. Alternative medications may be available.
What are the Side Effects of Rapid Weight Loss?
For most patients, the journey to a happier, healthier version of themselves doesn’t end with weight loss. Though getting rid of excess body fat can significantly improve your health and quality of life, rapid weight loss can have some unanticipated side effects that interfere with your ultimate goals.
Rapid weight loss can cause loose, excess skin to form due to loss of elasticity. This is most commonly seen around the neck and jawline as well as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arm area. While some loose skin isn’t too bothersome, significant amounts of excess flesh can trap moisture or increase friction causing uncomfortable chaffing, rashes, or skin infections.
Some patients also find their loose skin aesthetically unappealing, increasing self-consciousness rather than relieving it.
At Posh Plastic Surgery, we know that excess skin removal after rapid weight loss isn’t about vanity. It can often be the final step in your life transformation journey, and we’re proud to help our patients rebuild their self-esteem and reclaim control of their lives. Our excess skin removal procedures are personally tailored to your needs. As a passionate cosmetic surgeon with an artistic eye for detail, Dr. Kirk works hard to minimize scarring while creating the smooth silhouette you desire.
