Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified gynecologist, offers a medically supervised weight management program.

“By utilizing metabolic enhancers, such as amino acids (MIC), energy boosters (Adenosine), appetite suppressants, possible natural thyroid, along with sound nutritional advice and a fat-burning exercise program, patients can successfully loss weight,” Dr. Birken said.

HCG is a self-administered injection that helps with initial weight reduction as well.

While off label, HCG has been used to facilitate weight loss with a proper diet and exercise program. The following describes its action on hunger and metabolism:

A study published in 1954 revealed that high levels of HCG during pregnancy regulated metabolic function and controlled metabolism.  The mechanism of action is HCG’s affect on the hypothalamus to moderate the thyroid, adrenals, fat storage and metabolic rate while mobilizing fat out from fat storage and increasing circulating calories for body to utilize.

HCG is given as a self-administered daily subcutaneous injection of 125 IU daily (.1cc).  For patients desiring a weight loss of less than 15 lbs., 26 injections are recommended, and for more than 15 lbs loss, 40 injections. The only contraindication is pregnancy or plans for pregnancy during treatment.

HCG treatment’s goal is to lower the degree of hunger and enhance a better sense of well-being.  Patients on HCG are more apt to remain on a low calorie diet

A 2006 study showed that HCG increases Adiponectin (ADP) levels, a fat cell hormone involved in glucose and lipid metabolism.

Interesting article on in-office tumescent liposuction.

Tumescent Liposuction

Ron M Shelton, MD, Assistant Professor, Department of Dermatology, Mount Sinai School of Medicine; Director, The New York Aesthetic Consultants, LLP

Liposuction is the most commonly performed cosmetic procedure in the United States. It is also referred to as liposculpture, lipoplasty, and suction-assisted lipectomy. The ideal candidate is physically fit and eats well-balanced meals but is unable to reduce a fatty deposit that is well localized and often seems to involve a genetic susceptibility.

In the past, the surgery required blood transfusions because blood loss in the aspirate was significant. Dr Jeffrey Klein, a dermatologic surgeon, is credited as the originator of the tumescent technique, which has allowed liposuction to be performed with the patient under local anesthesia while minimizing blood loss and the risks of general anesthesia. Since its inception, liposuction performed with the tumescent technique has had an excellent safety profile.
