Professionally Guided Weight Loss in Beverly Hills in Beverly Hills

Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Skinny Shots in Beverly Hills

There is a reason there are so many diets, home exercise equipment, gyms, and trainers out there: weight loss is hard and sustained weight loss is exceedingly difficult. The most common reason for failure to lose weight is hunger and falling back into the psychological habits we have with eating food. GM Plastic Surgery now offers a supervised weight loss program using the latest and best in pharmacologic technology: GLP-1 analogue Semaglutide, and the GLP-1 and GIP analogue Tirzepatide. These medications have a proven track record of significant and sustained weight loss. What sets us apart from the others is our deep commitment to your sustained success in weight loss and keeping the weight off!

How do these medications work?

These medications mimic hormones made in your intestine after you eat to signal to your brain that you are full. In addition, these medications have positive effects on bone density, fat resorption, metabolism, gut motility, cardio-protective effects, and the brain. They were initially FDA-approved for diabetes but were also found to have profound effects on body weight, appetite, and even addictions. The FDA has now approved them for weight loss too. Using our program, you will lose weight quickly and easily, no longer struggling with an insatiable appetite or slow weight loss.

Semaglutide versus Tirzepatide

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist (look-alike), which is a molecule produced in our gut that sends signals to our brain, muscles, fat, pancreas, and liver. Tirzepatide is also a GLP-1 agonist, but additionally is a GIP agonist, another gut hormone. Tirzepatide is more effective at curbing appetite, which translates into greater weight loss, and with fewer side effects.

The Benefits of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide

Significant weight loss. These medications allow for real weight loss that you will see in your body’s transformation to a leaner you.

Improved overall body health. Along with weight loss, your body will experience lower blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure, improved cholesterol and lipid levels, and improved mental focus with less addictive thought patterns.

Non-invasive technology. All of these benefits are derived from the medication without surgery or the need for recovery and risk of complications.

Professionally Guided Weight Loss FAQ

How is Dr. Minniti’s weight loss program different from other Semaglutide or Tirzepatide clinics?

Dr. Minniti offers a professionally guided medical weight loss program, personally evaluates your health, adjusts your Semaglutide or Tirzepatide dose, and monitors your progress to help you lose weight safely and keep it off in the long term.

Are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide FDA-approved for weight loss?

Yes. Semaglutide and Tirzepatide were first approved to treat diabetes, and are now FDA-approved for chronic weight management when prescribed and supervised by a qualified physician.

Am I a candidate for medically supervised weight loss with “skinny shots”?

You may be a candidate if you struggle to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, have a BMI typically above 26, are not diabetic, and do not have a history of thyroid cancer or significant pancreatic disease.

How much weight can I expect to lose with this program?

Results vary, but many patients lose a significant percentage of their body weight over several months with weekly weight loss injections, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support from Dr. Minniti’s team.

Will I regain weight after stopping Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?

Without lifestyle changes, some weight regain is possible, which is why Dr. Minniti focuses on building sustainable eating and exercise habits during treatment so you can maintain your results after the injections stop.

Are there side effects to GLP-1 weight loss injections?

Common side effects can include nausea, stomach upset, or constipation, which are usually mild and improve as your body adjusts; your dose is carefully titrated to minimize side effects and protect your overall health.

Do I need blood work or ongoing monitoring during the program?

Yes. As part of professionally guided weight loss in Beverly Hills, you’ll have an initial medical evaluation and periodic follow-ups so Dr. Minniti can review your labs, track your body metrics, and adjust your treatment plan.

Can this weight loss program help me prepare for plastic surgery or body contouring?

Absolutely. Many patients use Semaglutide or Tirzepatide to reduce weight before procedures like body lift, liposuction, or tummy tuck, which can improve surgical outcomes and lower complication risks.

Dr. Minniti and his staff are the most awesome people. I have had several surgeries with Dr. Minniti dating back over 10 years and he is the only Doctor I trust to do my procedures. Dr. Minitti has exceptional talent. He is an outstanding surgeon and a very caring person. His work is excellent! Rio, the office manager, is an absolute gem, and all of the staff are so nice. If I could give more stars in this rating, I would. I highly recommend Dr. Minniti to anyone and everyone.

If I could give more stars I would! Dr Minniti’s office has a very welcoming atmosphere to make anyone feel comfortable about any procedure they want done. Ariana was my coordinator and she made everything super simple and easy to follow. I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Minniti about two years ago and it was the BEST decision I ever made. BELIEVE THE HYPE AROUND DR. MINNITI. He answered any and all my questions and helped to make me feel at ease since this was my first ever cosmetic procedure. His work is truly amazing, I opted for a bigger size of implants but Dr Minniti’s work is amazing people tell me that my breasts look so natural! If you’re considering a breast augmentation look no further and book with him!

Got my first breast augmentation with Dr.Minniti in 2018 and absolutely LOVED my results and ended up going back to him three more times for more work on myself! I also got lipo 360 with a BBL and lipo on my arms with skin tightening and could not be more happier. He is so knowledgeable and spectacular at what he does! I love how honest he is and technical. His work is so beautiful and I get so many compliments, makes me just want to keep coming back aha!

Exceptional Care and Expertise Dr. Minniti performed a reconstructive surgery on my right breast in July 2024, and I cannot express enough gratitude for his skill and compassion. I had a history of breast surgeries with other plastic surgeons, some of which led to scary complications. Not only did I need my right breast repaired due to bottoming out, requiring an internal bra and capsulorrhaphy, but I also carried a lot of fear from previous, traumatizing experiences. Dr. Minniti not only addressed my physical concerns with precision and expertise, but he also provided unparalleled compassion and understanding throughout the entire process. He truly listened to my concerns, made me feel heard, and eased my fears every step of the way. The results exceeded my expectations, and I feel whole again, both physically and emotionally. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Minniti to anyone seeking a plastic surgeon who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about their patients. He has truly been a life-changing presence in my journey, and I am forever grateful.

Dr. Minniti has been my Dr for years and I continue to be amazed by his precision and attention to detail with every procedure. He is known for his natural esthetic that has patients looking refreshed versus having had work done. He analyzes and evaluates every area to ensure a symmetrical and flawless approach. The amount of friends and acquaintances I’ve referred him are countless. Dr. Minniti’s pristine craftsmanship speaks for itself and people constantly approach me asking my skin care or beauty routine and the truth is - it’s Dr. Minniti. He’s the ultimate guru for plastic surgery and procedures like Botox and Fillers.
