The three standard tirzepatide injection sites are the abdomen, upper thigh, and outer upper arm. Rotating between all three matters more than most people bother with early on. Using the same spot repeatedly causes lipohypertrophy, a tissue thickening that reduces tirzepatide absorption over time and makes dosing unpredictable.
