Plastic Surgeon Serving McLean, Tysons Corner, Nearby Fairfax County, Northern Virginia, Washington DC & Maryland
Weight loss is challenging, whether you want to shed just a few pounds or 40 pounds or more. It is not as simple as “calories in and calories out” or a “magic pill”. Your genetics, age, energy level, appetite, stressors, hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle are all factors that influence how easy or difficult it is to lose excess body fat. You may already follow a healthy diet and exercise routine, and still not see the results that you would like.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide are currently the most powerful FDA approved medications for weight loss. Lose 10-20% of your starting weight without restrictive diets, extreme exercise routines, or invasive surgeries. Start your weight loss journey to look and feel your best.
Dr. Duda is expertly trained plastic surgeon and is knowledgeable about the human body and how our bodies change at different stages in life, as well as with weight loss. Our goal is looking better on the outside, and feeling better about yourself with more self-confidence, and encouraging healthy lifestyle choices to maintain your best look and feel.

Semaglutide and tirzepatide, also called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists or GLP-1, mimic our natural hormones that are released when we eat. They target the brain center that regulates appetite reducing the sensation of hunger and increasing the sensation of fullness resulting in less overeating and lower calorie intake. They also reduce your blood sugar level and the rate sugar appears in your circulation, and delays how fast your stomach empties contributing to that sensation of fullness.
By 4 weeks most patients will start to notice weight loss, some may take up to 8-12 weeks, with peak weight loss occurring between 8 and 28 weeks. Weight loss results will vary from person to person.
