Weight Loss Before Plastic Surgery

Hollywood, Florida (PRWEB) May 30, 2012

Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness has become the premier weight loss solution for plastic surgeons across South Florida. Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness of Hollywood has teamed up with Dr. Palmer M.D., P.a., owner of Palmer Cosmetic Surgery to offer a safe and effective weight loss program to patients who must lose weight prior to undergoing certain procedures. Many people walk into plastic surgery offices expecting to have excess weight removed via liposuction, tummy tucks and arm lifts. However, it is not uncommon for the plastic surgeon to direct patients to lose weight prior to surgery in order for the procedure to have a successful outcome. Often, patients leave with the best of intentions for losing the weight, but never return because they are unable to reach their goal weight.

This is where Dr. G’s Weight Loss program comes in, as an effective weight loss solution for over the past 18 years. Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness is a doctor-supervised program that enables patients to lose approximately 7-10 lbs per month. This amount of weight loss isn’t too fast or too slow. Dr. G’s program helps patients lose two or three pounds per week allowing the patient to safely and effectively reach their goal weight in a healthy and timely manner. “We help patients achieve their goal weight, so they can have plastic surgery performed in just a few months,” stated Valery Adkins, owner of Dr. G’s Weight Loss & Wellness in Hollywood.
