Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options

Considering non-surgical weight loss but not sure where to start? Thankfully, there are plenty of options to explore as modern-day medicine has continued to evolve at a rapid rate. Working with a general practitioner is the best place to start, as these medical professionals are experts in preventive medicine, restorative age management, and non- surgical weight loss. They can take a whole body approach that includes hormone optimization and regenerative medicine.

When wanting to lose weight, it may not be in everyone’s best interest to undergo weight loss surgery. Surgery can be grueling on the body, which can result in long recovery times. Additionally. some individuals are not good candidates, while others may want to explore safer non-invasive options. It is always recommended to explore all options in order to have a thorough understanding of what is involved in each. This eliminates any surprises later on.

Outlined below are a few non-surgical weight loss options that can be reviewed by individuals who are looking to lose weight without having to undergo a surgical procedure. Ready to find out more?

Losing weight without surgery

One of the most popular non-surgical weight loss options requires individuals to take a closer look at their lifestyles. Lifestyle habits play a key role in one’s weight, which is why general practitioners often recommend making changes. Lifestyle changes may include a restructured diet that consists of vegetables, a lot of protein, and fewer carbohydrates.

Another lifestyle change that may be recommended is to implement regular exercise. Exercise is crucial for losing weight and is often recommended in addition to other treatments.

Although lifestyle changes sound simple when it comes to weight loss, they actually may be quite difficult for some, which is completely normal and to be expected. With that being said, general practitioners will usually start this process slowly so that the body does not go into complete shock. For example, a light walking routine may be recommended at first, whereas later on down the line, a more aggressive approach may be used.

Medications

Some general practitioners recommend medication as a non-surgical weight loss option. There are certain medications that can help the body lose weight in a healthy way that is not drastic or harmful. As with lifestyle changes, this non-surgical weight loss option may be paired with others in order to produce efficient results.

When it comes to medication for weight loss, it is highly advised to be cautious. There are a lot of side effects to weight loss medications that are not noticed until the body has actually begun to process them.

Gastric balloon

Another popular non-surgical weight loss option is called the gastric balloon procedure. During the procedure, a deflated gastric balloon is swallowed or inserted into the mouth via an endoscopic tube. Once the balloon hits the individual’s stomach, it expands, taking up space. The space that it takes up causes the individual to get full quicker when eating, thus encouraging weight loss.

This procedure is very minimally invasive and does not result in weeks of recovery. Instead, it is performed in less than a couple of hours, and no more than two to three days is required when it comes to recovery. The patient may experience soreness from the insertion, but there will not be pain.

Laser liposuction

Laser liposuction is a safe non-surgical weight loss method that general practitioners often recommend. It involves the use of laser light beams to break up fat cells throughout the body. Additionally, the laser light tightens the skin, which helps to reduce drooping that comes from significant weight loss. Typically, laser liposuction is done over the course of a few sessions. Multiple rounds are necessary in order to see significant results.

CoolSculpting®

A newer non-surgical weight loss option that is growing more popular is called CoolSculpting®, which is a non-invasive procedure that freezes fat cells. This weight loss option works best for stubborn areas of fat that cannot be controlled with dieting or exercise. Fat freezing does not incur pain, and there is nothing invasive involved in the procedure. Like with liposuction, this approach may also be done multiple times in order to see optimal results.

Get started with non-surgical weight loss

Interested in one of the options listed above? The first step is to consult with a general practitioner who can provide you with a thorough evaluation. The evaluation will include a look at health history, nutrition, exercise, and other lifestyle factors, like sexual wellness. Reach out today to ask questions or to get started with a consultation appointment.
