Master Physician Certification in Weight Optimization, Liposuction & Fat Grafting

September 9-13, 2026 / Cerritos, CA

Faculty: TBA


Course Objectives:

- Understand GLP-1 pharmacology, dosing, safety, and metabolic implications.

- Evaluate patients for medical weight loss and longevity programs.

- Integrate nutrition, exercise, hormone optimization, and metabolic testing.

- Develop personalized weight loss and titration plans.

- Identify and manage adverse effects and complications.

- Understand body contouring options for post-weight-loss patients.

- Perform hands-on contouring techniques including cryolipolysis, RF, EMS, and injectable fat reduction.


Why Take These Two Courses Together?

Patients seeking body transformation rarely require just one modality.

The Advanced GLP-1 Certification equips you to optimize metabolism and medical weight loss, while the Masters Course in Liposuction Procedures & Fat Grafting Techniques teaches advanced procedural body contouring.

Together, these complementary courses provide a comprehensive approach to body transformation, from patient assessment and weight optimization to contour refinement and fat grafting techniques, helping physicians broaden their clinical capabilities and offer a more complete treatment pathway.

Register for both courses and receive an exclusive USD 500 bundle savings.
