GLP 1 weight loss injections have helped many people regain control over appetite and weight. But an honest medical conversation also includes this truth:

These injections are not meant for everyone.

Knowing when not to use them is just as important as knowing when they work well.

Why this conversation matters

In Mumbai and Khar, I see many people come in already convinced they need Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Retatrutide because:

  • a friend lost weight quickly

  • social media made it look effortless

  • they are frustrated with past attempts

That is exactly when careful screening matters most.

People who should generally avoid GLP 1 injections

Those with certain medical conditions

GLP based treatments may not be suitable if you have:

  • a history of pancreatitis

  • severe gastrointestinal disorders

  • certain endocrine conditions

  • unexplained severe abdominal symptoms

This is why prescriptions without proper medical history are unsafe.

Those seeking rapid cosmetic weight loss only

If your only goal is:

  • quick scale drop for an event

  • fitting into a specific outfit in weeks

  • no willingness to change eating or movement habits

GLP 1s are usually the wrong tool. The side effects and rebound risk outweigh the benefit.

Those with a history of disordered eating

GLP 1 injections suppress appetite. For someone with past eating disorders, this can:

  • reinforce unhealthy restriction

  • worsen food anxiety

  • create long term psychological harm

In these cases, a different approach is safer.

People unable to commit to follow up

GLP 1 treatment requires:

  • dose adjustments

  • symptom monitoring

  • nutritional planning

  • exit and maintenance planning

If regular follow up is not possible, outcomes suffer.

When weight loss injections may not be the best solution

Mild weight concerns

If you are only a few kilos above your comfortable weight, structured nutrition and training often work better without medication.

Weight gain driven by lifestyle stress

In many Mumbai professionals, weight gain is driven by:

  • sleep deprivation

  • stress

  • alcohol

  • irregular meals

Medication alone will not fix this pattern.

Primary concern is body shape, not weight

If your weight is stable but you are unhappy with:

  • stubborn fat pockets

  • abdominal laxity

  • post pregnancy changes

Surgical or body contouring options may be more appropriate:

Red flags during treatment

If someone is already on GLP 1s and experiences:

  • persistent vomiting

  • severe fatigue or weakness

  • fainting or confusion

  • inability to eat adequately

Treatment should be paused and reviewed, not pushed through.

The aesthetic risks of the wrong candidate

Poor candidate selection increases the risk of:

  • excessive facial volume loss

  • sagging skin

  • muscle loss

  • an unhealthy, gaunt appearance

The Sculptique screening philosophy

Before recommending GLP 1 injections, we look at:

  • medical history

  • weight pattern and rebound risk

  • mental relationship with food

  • lifestyle constraints

  • aesthetic goals after weight loss

Sometimes the right decision is to say no.

That protects your health and your long term result.
