Dr. Soumo Banerji, a board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in advanced aesthetic procedures, including medical weight loss and body contouring. His expertise ensures that every treatment plan is tailored to deliver safe, natural, and transformative results.
When it comes to achieving your ideal physique, the path you take depends on your individual goals, body type, and lifestyle. For some, medical weight loss provides a safe and effective way to shed excess weight, while others may require body contouring to refine and sculpt their figure.
At Banerji Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we offer both medical weight loss treatments and body contouring procedures to help you look and feel your best. But which one is right for you? Let’s explore the differences between the two and determine the best approach for your transformation.
Medical Weight Loss: A Science-Backed Approach.
Semaglutide & Tirzepatide are two advanced medical weight loss treatments available at Banerji Plastic Surgery, designed to help individuals achieve significant fat reduction and improve overall health.
Some ways these treatments contribute to weight loss include:
- Regulating appetite and reducing cravings by mimicking natural hormones help you feel fuller longer and make portion control easier
- Supporting significant weight reduction, with clinical studies showing 15% to 20% total body weight loss within several months, leading to improved health and confidence
- Providing a structured, medically supervised weight loss plan tailored for individuals with a BMI over 30 or above 25 with weight-related conditions, ensuring a safe and effective approach to long-term weight management
By addressing appetite and metabolism, these treatments help patients achieve long-term success without extreme dieting or deprivation.
Body Contouring: Refining Your Shape
Body contouring at Banerji Plastic Surgery is designed to help individuals refine their figure by eliminating stubborn fat and tightening loose skin. Unlike medical weight loss, which focuses on reducing overall body weight, body contouring enhances shape and definition, creating a sculpted, toned appearance.
Some treatments that enhance body contouring include:
- VASER Liposculpture: Uses ultrasound technology to precisely break down and remove fat, allowing for enhanced muscle definition and a sculpted, toned appearance.
- Mommy Makeover: Combines procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast rejuvenation, and liposuction to restore and reshape the body after pregnancy, helping patients regain confidence in their figure.
These procedures are ideal for individuals who have already lost weight and want to refine their silhouette for a more sculpted, confident appearance.
Which Treatment is Right for You?
Choosing between medical weight loss and body contouring depends on your goals. If you need to lose a significant amount of weight, medical treatments like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide provide an effective path. For those already near their ideal weight, body contouring procedures refine and sculpt the figure.
For some patients, a combination of both approaches may provide optimal results. Medical weight loss can help shed excess pounds, and once a stable weight is achieved, body contouring can sculpt and define the final look. During your consultation with Dr. Banerji, he will evaluate key factors such as your current weight, BMI, fat distribution, skin elasticity, and overall health to recommend the most effective approach.
