Summer Confidence: Sizzle in the Sunshine

Summer Confidence: Sizzle in the Sunshine

Summer in the Colorado Springs and Monument, Colorado areas is here, and it’s your time to shine! Whether you’re planning beach trips, family barbecues, or poolside relaxation, you deserve to feel confident in every setting. If you’ve been dreaming of enhancing your body with minimal downtime, now is the perfect time to explore options like Arm Liposuction or Love Handles Liposuction.

Arm liposuction targets those stubborn areas that don’t respond to workouts, helping you rock sleeveless dresses and tank tops with confidence. Love handles Liposuction sculpts your midsection, creating a more contoured silhouette. Both procedures can be performed discreetly in the comfort of a private medical office without the need for general anesthesia, making them quick and safe options for Moms who need results without the hassle of long recovery periods.

As a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon and Mom, I specialize in helping Moms feel their best. I understand the demands of Motherhood and the importance of self-care. These minimally invasive procedures are designed to fit seamlessly into your summer schedule, so you can get back to making memories with your family in no time.

Trust a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon who understands what it’s like to juggle family, work, and personal goals. From Harvard to Hollywood, I have trained and honed my surgical skills to help bring out the very best physique, for all those Moms who have sacrificed—mind, body, and spirit—for their children.  

This June, make yourself a priority. Schedule a consultation with me, Dr. Millicent Geers, to learn how these procedures can help you feel radiant and confident all summer long. Let’s make this your most feel-good, confident summer yet!

From one Mom to another, I see you and carry on smartly.

What You Need to Know About Medical Weight Loss

There’s much more to weight loss than looking better- it also helps you feel better, improves your health, and live a fuller life. However, for many, traditional weight loss methods such as fad diets and high-intensity workout programs don’t deliver long-term results. This is where medical weight loss comes in.

Flying Horse Medical Center offers personalized, science-based weight loss solutions designed to help you successfully and sustainably reach your goals. Whether you’re struggling to lose a few stubborn pounds or facing more significant health challenges due to excess weight, here’s what you need to know about medical weight loss and how it can help you.

What Is Medical Weight Loss?

Medical weight loss is a supervised, clinically backed approach to weight loss. Unlike diet trends or commercial weight loss programs, medical weight loss is guided by healthcare professionals that assess your overall health and create a customized plan that addresses the root cause of weight gain.

This approach includes a combination of:

  • Nutritional counseling
  • Prescription medications/appetite suppressants
  • Lifestyle coaching
  • Fitness recommendations
  • Lab testing to uncover underlying health concerns
  • Ongoing medical supervision/support

The goal is to help support your overall well-being and improve long-term health outcomes.

Why Choose a Medical Weight Loss Program?

There are plenty of weight loss plans on the market, but many are unsustainable or unsafe. Medical weight loss stands out because it is:

Personalized to You

Flying Horse Medical Center understands that every person’s body, metabolism, and lifestyle are different. Our providers will get to know you, review your medical history, and tailor a plan that fits your needs and goals.

Clinically Supervised

When you have medical supervision, you can be sure that your progress is being monitored by professionals. This reduces the risk of negative side effects and ensures that your plan stays aligned with your overall health.

Focused on Long-Term Success

Medical weight loss isn’t a quick fix but about building sustainable habits and creating lasting change. We work with you to set realistic goals, track your progress, and provide the support you need to maintain your results over time.

Who Can Benefit From Medical Weight Loss?

If you’ve tried to lose weight on your own and haven’t had success or if you have underlying health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, or thyroid problems, medical weight loss may be a good option for you.

This program can benefit those who:

  • Are overweight/obese
  • Struggle with emotional or stress-related eating
  • Have hit a plateau despite eating healthy and exercising
  • Need a structured, professional plan, as well as accountability and ongoing support

You don’t need to lose a lot of weight to see the benefits. Many patients experience significant health improvements by losing just 5 to 10% of their body weight.

Common Tools/Treatments in Medical Weight Loss

Flying Horse Medical Center uses a variety of tools, depending on your personal needs, including:

Metabolic Testing

This will help us understand how your body burns calories and whether your metabolism may be impacting your progress.

Prescription Weight Loss Medications

In some cases, FDA-approved medications may be used to curb appetite, improve metabolism, or regulate insulin levels.

Nutritional Guidance

We will provide individualized coaching on how to eat well without feeling deprived. We do not believe in crash diets- just sustainable, balanced nutrition.

Hormone Optimization

Hormone imbalances such as cortisol, insulin, and thyroid can impact weight loss. In some cases, we will recommend testing and treatment to restore balance.

Behavioral Support

Mindset plays a significant role in long-term success. We can help patients manage stress, identify emotional eating patterns, and build healthy routines.

Is Medical Weight Loss Safe?

When done under the care of qualified professionals, medical weight loss is safe and effective. The providers at Flying Horse Medical Center work with patients to closely monitor progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure safety and success.

We believe that it’s not about extreme restrictions or fast fixes. We work with patients to create a plan that supports overall health and wellness.

Invest in Your Health

If you’re tired of feeling frustrated with your weight loss efforts, medical weight loss may be the solution. Flying Horse Medical Center combines the latest science with compassionate, personalized care to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight- for life.
