Dr. David Lickstein:
I’m Dr. David Lickstein, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Lickstein Plastic Surgery. Semaglutide and similar drugs, so many of them out there and so many of our patients that we are seeing are having amazing weight loss results with it, but it does create two issues. The first one is loosening of skin, whether it’s the face, body, breasts, or arms. And we have a number of surgical solutions that can help you with that, but one that may get overlooked is the loss of muscle mass. And any nutritionist or doctor will tell you how important it is to preserve muscle mass. So I’m going to turn it over to Trish, who can talk to you about some of the technology you may not realize that we have here that can help you with that.
Trish:
Thank you, Dr. Lickstein. As we know, semaglutide are very popular these days. What we’re seeing in our patient populations that come through our doors are rapid weight loss with sagging skin, excess skin, but also muscle wasting. This is where the EMSCULPT NEO® comes in. We are so thrilled to have had patients that have been on semaglutide therapy increase their muscle mass. This is measurable on MRI, and we are so thrilled to have our patients just feel better about themselves, feel stronger, and help tighten their skin and increase that muscle mass.
