For Those Disappointed After Starting Wegovy or Mounjaro Based on Reviews

The Clinic That Successful Wegovy and Mounjaro Patients Return To: Why Our Follow-Up Rate Is High

Gangnam Banni Plastic Surgery | Dermatology Clinic Specialist Imira

Hello.

I’m Imira, Medical Director of Banni Plastic Surgery | Dermatology Clinic.

There is one question I hear most often in the consultation room.

“Looking at one-month Wegovy reviews, it seems like everyone loses a lot of weight. How many kilograms could I lose?”

“ I want to know how many kilograms I can lose with Wegovy or Mounjaro.”

It is understandable to be curious.

You need a point of reference before getting started.

However, whenever I hear these questions, I tend to begin the conversation in a slightly different direction.

What kind of appearance do you want, rather than how many kilograms do you want to lose?

When you set a number as your goal, reaching that number should make you feel satisfied.

But the stories I hear from people in the consultation room are a little different.

The number on the scale has gone down, but when they stand in front of the mirror, they do not see the appearance they wanted.

That gap is where disappointment begins.

At Banni, we design weight-loss plans to narrow that gap.

Why Do Wegovy and Mounjaro Work Differently for Each Person? 😅

More people in Gangnam are now receiving Wegovy and Mounjaro prescriptions.

However, during consultations, I meet many people who come with similar concerns.

“Why am I not losing weight with Wegovy?”

“I don’t know why I’m not losing weight with Mounjaro.”

“I’m definitely taking it, so why does my experience seem different?”

In many cases, it is not that they have lost less weight.

The number has gone down by the amount they expected,

but when they look in the mirror, they do not see the appearance they wanted.

The difference in satisfaction usually begins here.

Many people also ask about the difference between Wegovy and Mounjaro.

Which medication is right for them and where they should receive it.

People who find us after searching for “Gangnam Wegovy” or “Gangnam Mounjaro” commonly say:

“I didn’t want a place that only writes a prescription. I wanted proper management.”

That is exactly what people who come to Banni are looking for.

☝️ At Banni, We Ask First Before Prescribing

There are many places that prescribe Mounjaro and Wegovy in Gangnam.

What makes Banni different is what we do before prescribing.

“What would you like to look different?”

We start with this question.

Not the number on the scale, but the silhouette you want.

Based on your answer, we determine the direction of your weight loss.

What matters more than the number of kilograms lost with Wegovy or Mounjaro is what you will look like in the mirror after losing weight.

That is the conversation we have first in the Banni consultation room.

Even as your overall weight decreases,

areas you are particularly concerned about—such as the abdomen, love handles, and thighs—may require a separate approach.

Many people who visit Banni have already experienced the effects of Wegovy or Mounjaro,

but come to us because certain areas have not improved.

Banni is a clinic that designs a plan including those areas as well.

💁‍♀️ There Is No Single Separate Reason Why You Are Not Losing Weight with Wegovy or Mounjaro

One-month Wegovy reviews can raise expectations.

But after actually starting, some people feel that their results are not comparable to what they read in the reviews.

Why am I the only one who is different? Why am I not losing weight with Wegovy? Why am I not losing weight with Mounjaro?

In fact, the answer to these questions does not lie in the medication.

It lies in how accurately your body was assessed before prescribing.

At Banni, there is something we always do before prescribing Wegovy or Mounjaro.

We perform an InBody measurement.

This is not simply a matter of checking your weight.

We examine your body fat mass, muscle mass, visceral fat level, and regional fat distribution all at once.

This is precisely why results can differ even when people have the same weight and use the same medication.

Let me explain with an example.

People with high levels of visceral fat may respond quickly from the beginning.

On the other hand, people with a high proportion of subcutaneous fat and low muscle mass may experience a different pace even at the same dosage.

If you start without knowing this, you may compare your body with other people’s reviews and wonder, “Why is this happening only to me?”

Looking at your InBody measurements changes things from the start.

• You can predict which areas may lose fat first.

• You can learn which method of reducing body fat is suitable for your body.

• You can choose which of Wegovy and Mounjaro is currently right for your body.

• You can work backward from the silhouette you want, rather than designing your plan around a weight-loss goal in kilograms.

This is a process that clinics providing prescriptions alone do not offer.

There is one reason Banni checks InBody measurements first when prescribing Wegovy and Mounjaro in Gangnam.

We must first understand your body’s condition so that we can determine how it may respond to the medication; this can change both the direction and the outcome of your weight loss.

Feeling a difference in front of the mirror matters more than simply seeing the number go down.

At Banni, we design that difference together with you from the initial consultation.

🚩 At Banni, We Also Plan for After Weight Loss

Some people return to see me after losing weight with Wegovy or Mounjaro.

“Doctor, I’ve lost weight, but this area hasn’t changed.”

The abdomen, love handles, thighs, or bra-line fat.

They have lost weight overall, but these areas still concern them.

This does not mean that they have not lost enough weight.

They have entered the stage where body-shape management is needed.

Wegovy and Mounjaro are effective for reducing overall body weight.

However, the order in which fat is lost is not something you can control at will.

Your face may slim down first, or unwanted areas may become smaller first.

Meanwhile, the abdomen, love handles, and thighs—the areas you are actually concerned about—often remain until the end.

These areas may require an approach that targets them directly.

That is why I developed a procedure myself and obtained a patent for it.

It is called the Body Half Injection.

This is a procedure that injects fat-breaking and circulation-promoting ingredients into specific areas to reduce excess fat.

After first analyzing the regional distribution of fat, we select the appropriate dosage and ingredients and inject them directly into the fat layer.

For large areas such as the abdomen, love handles, and thighs, we use a high-volume approach,

and the procedure can also be applied to areas where fat accumulates easily even if they appear slim, such as the upper arms and bra-line area.

☝️ Go directly to Body Half Injection reservations ☝️

People who say their upper body still looks heavy even after losing overall weight

feel that these are the areas that changed the most after the procedure.

Daily activities are possible immediately after the procedure, and we recommend three to five sessions at one- to two-week intervals.

I recommend the Body Half Injection in the following cases.

✓ Excess fat in specific areas such as the love handles, abdomen, or thighs is not coming off easily

✓ The upper body looks heavy because of bra-line fat or the upper arms

✓ Your body lines do not become well-defined despite exercise and dietary management

✓ You want to improve your body shape quickly without a recovery period

✓ You want to improve areas where cellulite and fat are present together

There is one more thing I would like to mention.

Some people who are new to fat-dissolving injections worry that they may contain steroid ingredients.

Banni’s Body Half Injection does not contain steroids.

It consists only of ingredients needed for fat breakdown and promoting circulation.

You may begin with peace of mind.

Using Wegovy or Mounjaro to establish an overall weight-loss direction,

then directly addressing the remaining areas with the Body Half Injection.

This is Banni’s weight-management philosophy: following these two steps in order.

We do not try to solve everything at once.

We propose methods suited to your body’s current condition, in the right order.

That is what I do at Banni.

In Closing

“How many kilograms will I lose if I take Wegovy or Mounjaro?”

It is difficult to answer that question with an exact number.

Everyone’s physical condition, lifestyle, and bodily response are different.

That is why one-month Wegovy reviews vary so much.

But there is one thing I can say clearly.

Something is more important than the number.

It is not how many kilograms you have lost on the scale, but what you look like when you stand in front of the mirror.

Rather than viewing the effects of Wegovy and Mounjaro simply as numbers,

it is about how much closer you have come to the silhouette you want.

That is the standard Banni uses when prescribing Wegovy and Mounjaro in Gangnam.

A diet does not end in front of the scale.

The moment you stand in front of the mirror and feel, “This is how I want to look,” that is the true completion.

Banni designs that direction together with you.

This was Imira, removing the exaggeration and filling it with sincerity.
