Medical Weight Loss
Weight loss medications aren’t just a celebrity trend. Men and women in Southern Illinois who want to lose weight for medical and aesthetic reasons can visit MidAmerica Plastic Surgery’s new medical weight loss center for treatment.
Our customizable medical weight loss program features injectable medications, monitored by board-certified nurse practitioners, for patients who struggle to lose weight despite regularly exercising and eating a reduced-calorie diet. As part of your treatment plan, we can also administer Lipotropict-B12 injections to accelerate and enhance weight loss.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about feeling your best, improving energy levels, and supporting long-term wellness. At MidAmerica Institute of Cosmetic & Plastic Surgery, we offer a comprehensive medical weight loss program tailored to your unique needs. Using advanced, clinically proven treatments like lipotropic B12 and NAD+ injections, we help you take control of your weight loss journey with expert guidance and personalized care.
For patients looking to boost metabolism and support fat loss, lipotropic B12 injections offer a targeted approach. These injections contain a combination of essential nutrients, such as methionine, inositol, and choline, that help the liver break down fat more efficiently. Combined with vitamin B12, which plays a crucial role in energy production, these injections can enhance fat metabolism, increase energy levels, and support overall weight loss efforts.
NAD+ occurs naturally in the body and plays a major role in the process of generating energy and improving mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are the energy powerhouses of cells and as we age, our NAD+ levels gradually drop. This can cause fatigue, mental fog, dull skin, and poor sleep quality.
Benefits:
Special NAD+ Offer: $50 per shot or $180 for 4 shots

If you’ve struggled with weight loss despite diet and exercise, our Glen Carbon medical weight loss program may be the right solution for you. Ideal candidates are typically individuals with a BMI of 27 or higher who are looking to lose 10-25% of their total body weight. These treatments can be especially beneficial for those at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance, or other weight-related health concerns.
During your initial consultation, we’ll take the time to understand your medical history, lifestyle, and weight loss goals to determine the best approach for you. Lipotropic B12 injections can be a great addition to many weight loss plans, helping to support fat metabolism and boost energy levels. Depending on your needs, we may also explore other treatment options or nutritional strategies to help you reach your goals safely and effectively.

The medical weight loss center at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery offers solutions for healthy and sustainable weight loss. Treatment is highly customized and supervised by our medical experts, with injections administered at home.
Each patient’s weight loss journey begins with an up-front consultation, which requires a $99 non-refundable payment. Your provider will then assess your BMI, review your medical history, and conduct a comprehensive physical exam to determine if you are a good candidate for our weight loss program. After discussing your health history and goals, we proceed with the following three-tiered treatment approach that includes transitioning to a weight loss maintenance plan:
While we empower you with the tools for successful weight loss, including teaching you how to administer your injections and providing you with needles, syringes, and a hygienic disposal container, we also offer patients the option of paying $50 weekly for in-office injections for those unable or unwilling to self-inject.

It depends on your goals and how your body responds. Many patients stick with lipotropic B12 injections or NAD+ shots for several months to support energy, metabolism, and overall wellness. These treatments can be continued as part of a maintenance routine or added on to boost results during active weight loss.
Side effects are usually mild. With lipotropic B12 injections, some patients notice a small amount of soreness at the injection site or a quick energy boost. NAD+ shots are well tolerated, though you might feel a temporary warm sensation or mild flushing. We’ll always monitor how you’re doing and adjust as needed.
Sustaining weight loss comes down to healthy habits and long-term support. While injections can help boost metabolism and energy, it’s your overall routine—eating well, staying active, and following a personalized plan—that helps you keep the weight off. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Both lipotropic B12 and NAD+ injections use nutrients your body already makes. They're considered safe when administered by trained professionals, and we’ll walk through your medical history before you begin. Our approach is always focused on your safety, comfort, and long-term results.
