Medical Weight Loss Program
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT IS NOT A GENERIC PLAN
Most weight management programmes start with a formula. A calorie target, a meal plan, a set of instructions designed for the average person. The problem is that bodies are not average. What works for one person depends on their health history, their metabolism, their lifestyle, and a range of medical factors that a generic plan simply cannot account for.
At Burnside Cosmetic, weight management begins with a medical consultation. Dr Chris Koulos, who has completed further training in obesity medicine through SCOPE, accredited by the World Obesity Federation, takes the time to understand your individual circumstances before any approach is discussed. This is not a quick fix. It is a considered, clinically grounded conversation about your health.
Why people choose to do this with us
A lot of clinics can offer you a plan. What we offer is a relationship. From your very first consultation, you are supported by a doctor with genuine training in obesity medicine, not just a general interest in it, and a nursing team who stay with you at every step. We do not hand you a plan and send you on your way. We walk through it with you.
And when you reach your goal, that is not where the relationship ends. Weight management is one part of a much bigger picture of your health, and we see this as the start of an ongoing conversation, not a finish line. Our wellness hub was built for exactly that, a space to keep supporting, nurturing and educating clients well beyond the initial program, with options to explore down the track as your needs change.
Understanding Healthy Weight Loss
Healthy weight loss involves altering one’s relationship with food, emphasising a balanced understanding of nutrition rather than extreme diets. Realistic expectations and gradual progress are pivotal in achieving and maintaining a healthy BMI.
This program aims to provide support and guidance throughout the journey to a healthier lifestyle.
What a consultation with us looks like
Your first step is a holistic consultation with Dr Chris. This is a full conversation, not a quick chat, taking in your medical history, current medications, and any relevant tests, so that any approach discussed is genuinely built around you. There is a Medicare rebated fee for this consultation.
If a medical weight management approach is appropriate for you, it is offered as an adjunct to a broader plan around nutrition and activity, always discussed openly with you, including the benefits, risks and any potential side effects.
The program runs from our purpose-built facility on the corner of Greenhill Road and L'Estrange Street in Glenside, designed as a wellness hub where our team can support you properly, every step of the way.

About Weight Loss Treatments
Weight loss treatments are indicated as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. Treatment options suitable for weight loss are discussed after a thorough assessment.
If you are considering weight loss treatments to help you lose weight, it is important that you speak to a doctor to find out further information about the benefits and risks, including any potential side effects.
SOME EDUCATION NEVER STOPS.
Dr. Chris Koulos recently completed further training through SCOPE, the Strategic Centre for Obesity Professional Education, accredited by the World Obesity Federation. It is part of his ongoing commitment to understanding the medical complexity behind weight and body composition, not just the aesthetic side of it.

At Burnside Cosmetic, this kind of depth matters. It is what allows every consultation to be grounded in genuine clinical understanding, not assumption.
Body contouring is a category, not a treatment
Once you have reached a place you are happy with, some people want to explore body contouring as the next part of their journey. It includes technologies that work on fat, on muscle, on skin laxity, and on tissue at different depths. Some are non-invasive. Some require a course. Some are better suited to certain areas of the body than others.
The question is never just what is available. It is what is right for you specifically, your body, your goals, and your starting point. That is a conversation worth having with a clinician who knows the difference, and it is one more example of how we stay with you well beyond the first goal you set.
