What to Expect
Your weight management journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including health history, current medications, and weight loss goals. Our physicians determine if you're a candidate for medically supervised weight loss and discuss appropriate treatment options. If medications are prescribed, you'll have regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust treatments as needed. We coordinate your weight loss program with any planned surgical procedures to optimize timing and results. Throughout the process, we provide education on sustainable lifestyle changes that support long-term success. IV hydration sessions can be scheduled as needed to support your energy levels and overall wellness. As you progress toward your goals, we'll adjust your program and provide guidance on maintaining your results. Our integrated approach ensures seamless coordination between weight management and any surgical procedures you may choose.
Why Choose Areté Plastic Surgery
Areté's unique advantage lies in combining medical expertise with aesthetic knowledge, providing comprehensive body transformation solutions that other practices can't match. Our board-certified surgeons understand how weight loss affects surgical outcomes and can guide you through the entire process from initial weight management to final aesthetic results. The medical supervision of our weight loss programs ensures safety and efficacy that you won't find at non-medical weight loss centers. Our IV hydration therapy provides additional support that enhances the weight loss process and overall wellness. The ability to coordinate weight management with plastic surgery procedures under one roof eliminates the confusion and miscommunication that can occur when working with multiple providers. Our patients benefit from continuity of care and comprehensive treatment planning that considers both health and aesthetic goals.
Insurance & Pricing
Medical weight loss services may be partially covered by insurance when medically necessary, though coverage varies by plan and specific treatments. IV hydration therapy is typically not covered by insurance and requires out-of-pocket payment. We accept various payment methods and offer financing options for comprehensive treatment packages. Our practice provides detailed cost estimates upfront, including all fees for consultations, medications, and follow-up visits. We work with patients to create payment plans that make our services accessible while ensuring they receive the medical supervision necessary for safe, effective weight loss. Combination packages that include both weight management and surgical services may offer cost savings compared to separate treatments.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success with medical weight loss requires following prescribed medication regimens exactly as directed and attending all scheduled follow-up appointments. You'll need to be honest about any side effects or concerns so we can adjust your treatment appropriately. Combine medications with healthy lifestyle changes as recommended, medications are tools that work best with proper diet and exercise. Stay hydrated and maintain regular sleep schedules to optimize medication effectiveness. If you're planning surgical procedures, maintain your target weight consistently before surgery for the best results. Follow all pre-operative and post-operative guidelines carefully when combining weight loss with surgical procedures. Communicate openly with our team about your goals, concerns, and any challenges you're experiencing throughout the process.
