Phentermine Weight Loss Program
for Seattle & Tacoma

Weight loss can be tricky. With life changes, stress, and genetics all playing a role in body composition, traditional weight loss doesn’t always work. When we’ve exhausted all resources and spent far too much time in the gym, it can be tempting to give up on weight loss entirely.

Seattle Plastic Surgery offers phentermine for weight loss to give you significant support in your weight loss journey. With a weight loss medication like phentermine, you can establish healthier habits for rapid weight loss.   

What is Phentermine? 

Phentermine is an FDA-approved medication specifically designed for weight loss. It can be a significant appetite suppressant mechanism that helps curb cravings and prevent overeating. It may also boost energy levels, making it easier to work out throughout the day.  With phentermine, you can gain a boost in weight loss that helps you establish healthier habits for substantial change. Phentermine works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. 

How does Phentermine work in the body? 

Phentermine is a controlled substance that interacts with brain chemicals that control our response to food. It also boosts energy so that you can easily perform physical activity. Additionally, phentermine may increase your metabolism, making it easier to achieve a calorie deficit.   

Potential Side Effects 

Phentermine does have some potential side effects, but your weight loss provider can help you manage these symptoms if any occur. Phentermine side effects include but are not limited to: 

• Dry mouth 
• Rapid heartbeat 
• Nerves
• Difficulty sleeping 
• Headaches 
• Constipation 
• Metallic taste
• Possible dependencies  
• Increased blood pressure

Am I A Good Candidate for Phentermine? 

At Seattle Plastic Surgery, we use the recommended BMI requirements to qualify candidates for phentermine weight loss.  Because it’s a controlled substance, a BMI limit is necessary. To take phentermine for weight loss, you must have a BMI of over 30 or over 27 in combination with at least one obesity-related comorbidity. The weight loss providers will review your BMI and medical history to help ensure you can safely take the medication.   

Additionally, some who may not qualify for phentermine in Seattle include: 

• Patients with a history of high blood pressure
