GLP-1 IN NEW YORK CITY

GLP-1s (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are FDA-approved medications that help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and promote a feeling of fullness—making it significantly easier to eat less and lose weight. At New Look New Life, our medically supervised weight loss program utilizes these advanced medications to help patients overcome weight loss plateaus safely and effectively.

GLP-1s are typically recommended for adults with a BMI over 27 who have weight-related health conditions, or anyone with a BMI over 30 who has struggled to lose stubborn weight through diet and exercise alone. A private consultation with Dr. Claudia Kim and our dedicated team will help determine if this program is the right fit for your health and aesthetic goals.

We offer a variety of highly effective GLP-1 options, including semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound). We will select the best medication for your individual metabolic needs and goals.

Yes. While GLP-1 medications are incredible tools that significantly reduce your appetite and cravings, pairing the medication with healthy eating and active lifestyle changes ensures the best, fastest, and longest-lasting results.

Treatment duration varies from patient to patient. Some patients use them short-term to jumpstart their weight loss before a surgical procedure, while others may benefit from longer, sustained use. We personalize each plan based on your individual progress and health goals.

Common side effects may include temporary nausea, constipation, or fatigue, especially when you first begin the medication. Dr. Claudia Kim and our clinical team monitor you closely and carefully adjust your dosage to minimize any discomfort as your body adjusts.

Sustainable weight loss is best achieved with permanent lifestyle changes. Stopping the medication without maintaining healthy dietary habits can lead to weight regain. That is why New Look New Life provides long-term support and guidance throughout your entire weight loss journey.

Currently, this specific medically supervised program is considered elective and is not covered by insurance. However, we believe transforming your health should be accessible. We provide highly flexible, interest-free payment plans and financing options. Visit our Pricing page to learn how we can assist you in managing the cost.

Absolutely. In fact, we highly recommend it! Many of our patients successfully use our GLP-1 program to reach their target goal weight before undergoing transformative contouring procedures like a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction, or a complete Mommy Makeover. Dr. Claudia Kim will help you map out the perfect timeline for your weight loss and surgical goals.

Losing a significant amount of weight with GLP-1s is an incredible achievement, but it often leaves behind excess, sagging skin that cannot shrink back on its own. Because we are a comprehensive cosmetic surgery practice, Dr. Claudia Kim specializes in post-weight loss body contouring, including Skin Removal (Panniculectomy), Arm Lifts, and Thigh Lifts to reveal the toned, beautiful figure you've worked so hard for!

Yes. Many gender-affirming surgeries (such as top or bottom surgery) have strict BMI requirements for your safety under anesthesia. Our GLP-1 program is a fantastic, supportive tool to help you safely reach your required weight milestone on your Gender Journey.
