Obesity treatment, guided by doctors — not guesswork.
Obesity is a chronic medical condition, not a lack of willpower. At Cosmetique, our physicians assess your BMI, metabolic health and history to build a treatment plan — from lifestyle therapy to medication and surgical referral — right here in Pakistan.
What is obesity, really?
Obesity is a chronic medical condition in which excess body fat accumulates to a degree that it begins to affect health — raising the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, joint damage, sleep apnea and certain cancers.
It is measured using BMI (Body Mass Index) — weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared — alongside waist circumference and, where needed, body composition scanning.
Leading bodies including the American Medical Association and the World Health Organization classify obesity as a chronic disease in its own right, driven by a mix of genetics, hormones, metabolism, environment and behaviour — not simply “eating too much.”
| Category | BMI Range |
|---|---|
| Underweight | Below 18.5 |
| Normal weight | 18.5 – 24.9 |
| Overweight | 25 – 29.9 |
| Obesity — Class 1 | 30 – 34.9 |
| Obesity — Class 2 | 35 – 39.9 |
| Obesity — Class 3 | 40 and above |
How obesity treatment actually progresses
Treatment is escalated in stages — most patients start at step one, and only move further if targets aren’t met. Every step is supervised by a doctor.
Lifestyle & behavioural therapy
The foundation of every plan: a structured nutrition plan, physical activity targets, sleep correction and behavioural coaching, built around your routine — not a generic diet sheet.
- Calorie and macronutrient planning with a dietitian
- Structured activity plan suited to joint and cardiac health
- Screening for underlying causes — thyroid, PCOS, cortisol, sleep disorders
Obesity treatment drugs
When lifestyle change alone isn’t enough, doctors may add medication as one part of the plan — never as a stand-alone fix. Common classes used in supervised care include:
- GLP-1 receptor agonists — reduce appetite and slow digestion
- Combination appetite-regulating medication — for select patients
- Lipase inhibitors — reduce fat absorption from meals
Prescription only — dosing set by your doctor
Procedural & surgical options
For higher BMI classes, or where obesity-related disease is already present, our doctors may discuss referral for minimally invasive procedures or bariatric surgery, with long-term follow-up built in.
- Gastric balloon and endoscopic options
- Bariatric surgery referral for eligible patients
- Post-procedure nutrition and monitoring programme
Long-term maintenance
Obesity is chronic, so treatment doesn’t end at a target weight — regular follow-up keeps results stable and catches relapse early.
- Quarterly reviews with your treating doctor
- Ongoing dietitian and activity check-ins

Every patient at Cosmetique is assessed by a physician before any nutrition, medication or procedural plan is proposed. Your history, labs and goals shape the plan — not a fixed package.
Why this matters here
Obesity rates in Pakistan have risen sharply alongside urbanisation and dietary shifts, yet access to structured, doctor-led treatment remains limited outside major cities.
1 in 3
Adults in Pakistan’s urban centres are estimated to fall in the overweight-to-obese range, per national health surveys.
Rising
Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease linked to obesity continue to climb faster than treatment capacity.
Local
Cosmetique offers in-person doctor consultations for obesity treatment in Pakistan, without needing to travel abroad.
Frequently Asked
Obesity treatment — your questions
Major bodies including the AMA and WHO classify obesity as a chronic disease, though it also acts as a risk factor for conditions like diabetes and heart disease. It’s typically diagnosed using BMI alongside other clinical measures.
Several prescription-only medication classes are available through registered physicians, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and lipase inhibitors. These are prescribed after a full medical assessment — never as an over-the-counter option.
