About Goals Plastic Surgery

Goals Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive weight loss solutions in Philadelphia, combining surgical and non-surgical approaches to help patients achieve their aesthetic and health goals. While primarily known for cosmetic surgery, our practice has expanded to include medical weight management and body contouring procedures for patients seeking dramatic transformation.

Our team understands that weight loss is often just the beginning of the journey toward your ideal body. We provide both pre-surgical weight optimization programs and post-weight loss body contouring to address loose skin and stubborn fat deposits. This integrated approach allows us to support patients through every phase of their transformation journey.

Services Offered

Our weight loss services include pre-surgical weight optimization programs, nutritional counseling, and medical supervision for patients preparing for cosmetic procedures. We offer non-surgical fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting and EmSculpt to target stubborn areas resistant to diet and exercise. For patients who've achieved significant weight loss, we provide comprehensive body contouring including tummy tucks, arm lifts, thigh lifts, and breast procedures to address excess skin. Our medical weight management program includes appetite suppressants, metabolic testing, and structured meal planning. We also offer injectable treatments for facial volume restoration after weight loss. Virtual consultations are available for initial assessments, and we work closely with bariatric surgeons when appropriate. Our aesthetic services complement weight loss efforts by addressing areas that don't respond well to traditional diet and exercise alone.

What to Expect

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation to understand your goals, whether they're weight loss, body contouring, or both. For weight management patients, we'll assess your current health status, previous attempts, and develop a medical plan that may include prescription medications and nutritional guidance. Body contouring consultations involve detailed examination and discussion of surgical options. We use advanced imaging technology to help you visualize potential results. For combination cases, we'll create a timeline that coordinates weight loss with eventual surgical procedures. Follow-up care includes regular monitoring, adjustment of treatment plans, and comprehensive post-surgical support. We provide detailed pre and post-operative instructions and maintain close contact throughout your recovery period.

Why Choose Goals Plastic Surgery

Goals Plastic Surgery offers a unique combination of medical weight management and aesthetic procedures under one roof, providing continuity of care throughout your transformation journey. Our surgical expertise allows us to address the aesthetic challenges that often accompany significant weight loss, such as excess skin and stubborn fat deposits. We use the latest technology in both non-surgical fat reduction and body contouring surgery. Our team's experience with post-weight loss patients means we understand the physical and emotional aspects of body transformation. We offer flexible financing options to make treatments more accessible, and our Philadelphia location provides urban convenience with state-of-the-art facilities.

Insurance & Pricing

Most cosmetic procedures and elective weight loss treatments aren't covered by insurance, though some medically necessary procedures may qualify for coverage. We provide detailed pricing during consultations and offer financing options through CareCredit and other medical lending companies. Weight management consultations typically range from $150-250, while surgical procedures vary widely based on complexity. Non-surgical treatments like CoolSculpting start around $750 per area. We offer package deals for multiple procedures and seasonal promotions. Payment plans can often be arranged for larger procedures, and we accept all major credit cards.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your consultation, research your goals and gather photos of desired outcomes to facilitate discussion. For weight management, bring your medical history and current medications list. If considering surgery, plan for recovery time and arrange help at home. Maintain realistic expectations about what procedures can and can't achieve. Stop smoking well before any surgical procedure, as this significantly affects healing. Follow all pre-operative instructions carefully, including dietary restrictions and medication adjustments. After treatment, whether surgical or non-surgical, commit to maintaining a healthy lifestyle to preserve your results. Attend all follow-up appointments and don't hesitate to contact us with concerns during recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer medical weight loss without cosmetic procedures?

Yes, we provide standalone medical weight management programs including prescription medications and nutritional counseling. Many patients start with weight loss and later decide on cosmetic procedures.

How much weight should I lose before considering body contouring surgery?

We generally recommend patients be within 10-15 pounds of their goal weight and maintain stable weight for at least 6 months before body contouring procedures. This ensures optimal results and reduces complications.

Are financing options available for procedures?

Yes, we offer financing through CareCredit and other medical lending companies, with various payment plans available. We also accept major credit cards and can arrange payment schedules for larger procedures.

Can CoolSculpting replace the need for surgery?

CoolSculpting is effective for small fat deposits but can't address loose skin or large amounts of excess tissue. For patients with significant skin laxity, surgical options may be more appropriate.

How long is recovery for body contouring procedures?

Recovery varies by procedure but typically ranges from 2-6 weeks for return to normal activities. We provide detailed recovery timelines and support throughout the healing process.

Do you work with bariatric surgeons?

Yes, we collaborate with bariatric surgeons and can coordinate care for patients undergoing weight loss surgery who may later need body contouring procedures.

What's included in your weight management program?

Our program includes medical evaluation, prescription medications when appropriate, nutritional counseling, and regular monitoring. We tailor the approach based on your goals and health status.

How do I know if I'm a good candidate for your services?

Good candidates are in reasonably good health with realistic expectations about outcomes. We'll evaluate your specific situation during consultation and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach.
