Your Consultation

Your experience begins with a detailed evaluation by Dr. Grossman. During this visit, your medical history, goals, and body composition are assessed to create a personalized plan. Recommendations may include tailored medication options, aesthetic treatments, and nutrition or fitness strategies that align with your objectives.

What to Expect During Weight Management

Your program typically combines FDA-approved GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro®, or Zepbound®) with advanced aesthetic treatments. Non-invasive options like cryolipolysis, radiofrequency therapy, or minimally invasive liposuction may be incorporated for precision contouring. Strength training and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) help preserve tone, while ultrasound and radiofrequency support skin elasticity. Personalized nutrition and lifestyle coaching complete the program, ensuring that every aspect of your health, appearance, and confidence is addressed.

Weight Management Recovery and Results

Patients generally experience steady, manageable progress with gradual improvements in body contour, energy, and overall appearance. Fat preservation techniques help maintain volume and prevent facial hollowing, ensuring balanced, natural results. As your plan progresses, results develop gradually and are designed to last with continued support and expert follow-up. Santa Monica and NYC patients can anticipate a streamlined and professional experience.

Yes. Dr. Grossman reviews your current dosage, makes necessary adjustments, and integrates complementary treatments for optimal results.

“Ozempic face” refers to facial volume loss that may occur with rapid weight reduction. At Grossman Dermatology, this is addressed through fat preservation, dermal fillers, or collagen-stimulating procedures.

No. Liposuction is offered only when beneficial for targeted contouring or refining areas that do not respond to medication alone.
