Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
A Medical Approach to Weight Management
Weight management is not simply about eating less. Medical history, appetite, metabolism, lifestyle, sleep and existing health conditions can all affect progress. At Nicanor Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery, treatment begins with a medical consultation to understand your needs and determine whether prescription support may be appropriate.
Understanding the Treatment
What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide, known by the brand name Mounjaro, is a prescription medicine that acts on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. These are involved in appetite, digestion and blood-sugar regulation.
When clinically appropriate, tirzepatide may be considered as part of a structured weight-management plan together with nutrition, physical activity and ongoing medical review. It is not intended as a quick or purely cosmetic solution.
Your Treatment Journey
How the Programme Works
Every treatment plan is based on an individual medical assessment.

Health Assessment
Your doctor may assess your BMI, weight-related risks and whether further tests are needed.
3
Personalised Plan
If suitable, your doctor will explain the treatment plan, safe use and lifestyle support.
4
Regular Review
Progress, tolerability and general health are reviewed so treatment can be adjusted when necessary.
Who May Be Suitable?
Prescription weight-management treatment may be considered for selected adults after a medical assessment. Suitability depends on more than weight alone.
- Adults living with obesity
- Adults who are overweight with weight-related health risks
- Those who need additional support alongside lifestyle changes
- Those able to attend regular follow-up and monitoring
A Complete Programme
More Than Medication
Personalised Care
Your plan is based on your health, lifestyle, goals and response—not a one-size-fits-all package.
Healthy Habits
Balanced nutrition, adequate protein, activity and resistance exercise can support long-term health.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular follow-up helps your doctor review progress, manage side effects and decide whether to continue.
Important Safety Considerations
Tirzepatide is not suitable for everyone. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions, medicines and supplements you use, as well as any planned procedure requiring anaesthesia or deep sedation.
- Do not use it during pregnancy. Discuss pregnancy planning and contraception with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor about pancreatic, gallbladder, kidney or severe digestive problems.
- Tell your doctor if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2.
- Low blood sugar may be more likely when tirzepatide is combined with certain diabetes medicines.
