Medical weight loss offers a structured, supportive way to lose weight using evidence-based strategies and prescription medication when appropriate. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick provides personalized weight-management care for individuals who want safe, steady, and medically guided results. This program is designed to support long-term health, improved energy, and positive lifestyle habits.
What Medical Weight Loss May Improve
Many people struggle with weight changes due to hormones, aging, stress, or a slowing metabolism. A medical weight-loss program may help:
- Support consistent weight reduction
- Address appetite changes with medication
- Improve energy and confidence
- Enhance the results of future body procedures
- Create sustainable lifestyle habits
This approach combines medical oversight with practical dietary guidance to help patients progress safely and comfortably.
Am I a Good Candidate for Medical Weight Loss?
Medical weight loss may be an option for individuals who:
- Struggling to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
- Want structured guidance and accountability
- Prefer a medically supervised plan tailored to their needs
- Are interested in weight-loss medication as part of their program
- Are you preparing for or recovering from cosmetic procedures
During a consultation, Dr. Andochick reviews medical history, current habits, weight-loss goals, and any underlying factors that may influence progress. The goal is to create a plan that feels manageable, realistic, and well-supported.
How Medical Weight Loss Works
Dr. Andochick offers a personalized program that may include prescription weight-loss medication, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle recommendations. While every plan is tailored, many patients benefit from:
- Medication options designed to support appetite control
- Simple nutrition strategies to promote steady progress
- Activity recommendations suited to each patient’s fitness level
- Regular monitoring to track progress and adjust treatment as needed
Medication is used thoughtfully to support weight-loss efforts and encourage consistent improvement. Dr. Andochick provides clear instruction on proper use and ongoing supervision to ensure safety.
Weight Loss Recovery and Results
Because medical weight loss is non-surgical, there is no downtime. Patients are encouraged to maintain hydration, follow their personalized nutrition plan, and check in regularly for monitoring and adjustments.
General expectations may include:
- Steady weight reduction over time
- Improvements in energy, mobility, or confidence
- Adjustments to medication dosage as needed
- Continued support through each stage of the program
Results vary based on starting weight, medication response, and lifestyle factors. Dr. Andochick works closely with each patient to keep progress safe, consistent, and aligned with long-term goals.
Why Combine Medical Weight Loss With Cosmetic Procedures?
Many individuals choose medical weight loss before undergoing body-contouring procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or thigh lift. Reaching a stable weight may:
- Support longer-lasting surgical results
- Improve body proportions
- Enhance surgical precision
- Encourage smoother recovery
Dr. Andochick discusses the timing of weight loss in relation to cosmetic procedures during consultation.
