Dr. Basu is joined by friend and founder of Austin Plastic Surgeon Dr. Johnny Franco to discuss semaglutide, also known as the “skinny shot.” After losing 45 lbs himself in just over three months, Dr. Franco is convinced in the benefits of semaglutide for weight loss and has made it easily available to his patients. The once-a-week shot is a breakthrough weight loss product that helps patients eat healthier proportions by decreasing appetite.

The doctors discuss how it can be a powerful tool for patients above the BMI cutoff for surgeries such as the tummy tuck who need help losing weight to prepare. Hear who the best candidates are for the product and whether it can be safely used for lifestyle purposes.
