While health outcomes are the primary driver, the aesthetic component of the Weight Management Market contributes significantly to revenue, particularly in the Body Shaping and Aesthetic Procedures segments.

• Aesthetic Motivation: A strong consumer desire for improved appearance acts as a powerful initial motivator for weight loss, fueling demand for both primary treatments (diets, drugs) and secondary aesthetic procedures.

• Body Contouring and Shaping: Following significant weight loss (whether through bariatric surgery or GLP-1s), patients often seek non-invasive or minimally invasive aesthetic procedures to address loose skin, stubborn fat deposits, and textural changes. This includes non-surgical fat reduction (cryolipolysis, radiofrequency) and skin tightening procedures.

• Intersection of Services: The successful outcomes of medical weight loss (like GLP-1s) are creating a new synergy between weight management clinics and plastic surgery/medspas, as patients transition from weight loss to body composition refinement, offering a long-term revenue opportunity for device manufacturers and service providers.
