Weight Loss Treatments
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
At Cosmetic Surgery Associates in Bethesda, MD, we offer a medically supervised approach to weight loss that stands apart from typical medspas and clinics. Unlike programs that rely solely on generic plans or aesthetic treatments, our program is overseen by board-certified plastic surgeons who understand the science behind safe weight reduction and the artistry of body contouring. We tailor every plan to your health, goals, and body.
What are Weight Loss Treatments?
Weight loss treatments at Cosmetic Surgery Associates are non-surgical treatments designed to help individuals achieve a healthier weight under professional guidance. Whether you are struggling with stubborn fat or have plateaued in your journey, our treatments combine medical supervision and targeted solutions to help you lose weight safely and effectively.
Weight loss drugs have become an essential tool for individuals struggling with excess body weight and weight related medical problems, especially when lifestyle changes alone are not enough. Used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise, these weight management medications are designed to promote weight loss, maintain weight loss, and support chronic weight management. As part of a broader obesity treatment plan, prescription medications can make a significant difference for those committed to overcoming weight gain and achieving long-term health.
How Do Weight Loss Treatments Work?
Our weight loss program is customized for each patient. During your initial consultation, our board-certified plastic surgeons will assess your body composition, health history, and lifestyle to recommend a treatment strategy. This may include semaglutide or tirzepatide injections or aesthetic options such as body contouring to refine your shape as you lose weight. All treatments are backed by continual medical supervision to ensure safety and optimal outcomes.

Candidates for Weight Loss Medications
Ideal candidates for our weight loss treatments are individuals seeking a medically guided solution to lose excess weight and improve their overall wellness. Our program may be right for you if you have tried dieting and exercising without achieving your goal body weight. Weight loss drugs such as semaglutide or tirzepatide can help you treat obesity and maintain a reduced calorie diet to lose weight. These prescription weight loss medications, approved for weight loss, are typically recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with conditions like high blood pressure or digestive and kidney diseases. Patients with chronic conditions or those considering surgical procedures can benefit from prescription weight loss drugs under the care of our experienced plastic surgeons. Some prescription drugs may also treat depression or other conditions alongside helping people lose weight, so a thorough medical consultation, including personal or family history, is key.
Consultation
Your consultation at Cosmetic Surgery Associates is the first step toward sustainable weight loss. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will listen to your goals, review your medical history, and recommend the most appropriate weight management plan during this visit.
Weight Loss Treatment Process
Once your plan is established, you will begin your weight loss program under our supervision. This may include weekly check-ins, medication administration, and nutrition adjustments. As your body responds, we adjust your plan accordingly and may recommend additional contouring treatments to enhance your results. While not a quick fix for obesity, your weight goals become more achievable when weight loss drugs work alongside behavioral changes. You will be supported by both medical professionals and patient care coordinators throughout every phase of the journey.
Recovery
Most weight loss treatments are non-invasive and do not require downtime. If medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide are used, you may experience mild side effects such as nausea, which are typically short-lived and manageable. If body contouring treatments are a part of your plan, our team will provide clear post-care instructions to support a smooth recovery.
Results
Patients often see gradual and sustainable weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment. Because our approach is medically supervised, results are safe, consistent, and geared toward long-term success rather than quick fixes. You may also notice improvements in your energy levels and overall well-being as you progress.
Price
The cost will depend on the number of sessions you need to undergo to achieve optimal results. During a consultation, we will recommend the number of treatments we believe will be necessary and provide you with a quote based on that.
