Everything You Need To Know
BOTOX can do much more than you have ever thought.
Face Surgery
Mini Facelift
Look younger
Facelift surgery is perhaps, along with breast augmentation surgery, one of the two signature procedures in plastic surgery. In 2016, according to statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 125,000 patients had facelift surgery. Facelift surgery is as much an art as much as it is a technical procedure. For that reason, you need to be find a surgeon that you feel has an artistic eye as well as who stays on top of all of they many technical advances face rejuvenation and cosmetic surgery.
The following steps define how I approach aging faces and mentally decide how I could make you look more youthful. It is very important to understand that my mental approach is very different than what we decide would be your best treatment options. This is because the consultation should always start with YOU and what you want; there is no point in suggesting you benefit from a facelift or other surgical option when you are searching for ONLY non-surgical options.
When you come in for your consultation, we start with how you think you are aging and what you might want me to do about it. Many patients might then turn this around and ask for a a menu of what I think. In the end, it is a compromise between what you want and what I think I can provide. This is how you end up with natural results.

1. Volume Restoration
Volume loss is the significant change with age. And replacing volume early with facial fillers like Juvederm or Voluma particularly below the eyes, in the temples, and around the mouth will slow down aging in young patients. Older patients might benefit more both functionally and financially with a fat transfer as it requires transferring your own fat, which has no overhead. A nonsurgical or liquid facelift refers to a procedure that uses more than 4 syringes of facial fillers to elevate the tissue.
2. Botox for Dynamic Facial Lines
Botox is a nice addition to the dynamic wrinkles of the forehead including the horizontal forehead lines, the vertical angry “11s” between the eyebrows, and the crows feet lines
3. Skin Tightening
A Mini facelift, facelift, or other skin tightening is only needed if volume replacement is not enough to elevate the tissue. I will review my exact technique below. This procedure is the most common procedure that I perform. It allows for the elevation of the lower face, jowls, and some of the upper neck. If there is a lot of droopy skin or muscle looseness in the neck, then a neck lift will also be required. Patients who only have a mini facelift and facial fillers can often return to work in less than a week. The addition of eyelid surgery, forehead, or neck lift surgery will require 1-2 weeks of immediate recovery.
4. Laser skin care
Laser skin using our Sciton Laser Platform is strongly suggested to clean up the skin.
There is not necessarily a “right” time to get a facelift surgery. Just like the concept of beauty is subjective, the concept of facial aging can also be subjective. Facial aging begins with a loss of collagen and volume loss before the skin begins to sag. Therefore, nonsurgical options that add facial volume is usually a first step in treating facial aging. This is mostly true if you are in your thirties and early forties. As you get older, volume loss is more dramatic, collagen begins to stretch. The strategy at this time is to optimize facial volume and lifting the extra sagging tissue. The average age for a mini facelift is about 40 years old.
Facelift techniques continue to evolve. The marketing of plastic surgery has unfortunately led to an explosion of confusing vanity names such as the lifestyle lift, the miami facelift, or a dozen other names. At the end of the day, there are really only a few types. The choice of facelift technique depends on a number of factors including your skin quality, facial shape, age, and goals.
- Skin only facelifts
- SMAS elevation facelifts
- Deep plane facelift and
- Subperiosteal facelifts
There is not necessarily a single best technique. My technique is more of a strategic approach. My goals are to produce a natural result that reproduces the components of aging in the safest way possible. I do this by first replacing volume with either fat or cosmetic fillers, then I lift and reposition the deep support tissues ( SMAS) along with redraping of the skin to achieve long lasting results. This is followed by rejuvenating the skin with lasers and treating the facial muscles with Botox.
Facelift surgery is a technically demanding procedure that requires the highest level of surgical skill. It is imperative that the surgeon be highly skilled and experienced. It is also important to note that no single technique is appropriate or “best” for all patients and that facelift surgery should be individualized for each patient depending on their goals and facial characteristics.
The mini facelift is performed and reposition the deep support tissues ( SMAS) along with redraping of the skin to achieve long lasting results. The goal of the procedure is to lift the jowls upwards thereby restoring volume to the cheeks while improving the jaw line. You can generally also expect a modest improvement in the neck. If you want more significant improvements in the neck, a neck lift will have to be added to the procedure. This would be called a face and neck lift.
The goal of the facelift is to redrape the skin and SMAS. This might restore some volume in to the cheeks but more significant volumes will require the addition of a fat transfer or cosmetic fillers.
Volume is most often required in the temples, the under-eye area, the cheek mound, and the area in and around the lips.
Botox can be added to address the forehead lines, the angry lines between the brows, and the crows feet lines. Not only does the botox treatment improve the appearance of aging, but it will preserve the longevity of the results by not allowing the skin to shift as fast over time.
Skin care lasers including the Forever Young BBL, Micropeel, and Profractional Laser can help with improving the glow and radiance of the skin by reducing brown and age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. They also help maintain your results by increasing and rejuvenating cellular DNA and collagen.
The answer will depend on exactly what procedures are added to the facelift procedure. Some general guidelines include:
- Minifacelift – 5-7 days
- Add facial fillers – no change
- Add botox – no change
- Add fat transfer – 2-3 weeks
- Add BBL – no change
- Add Forehead Lift – 2-3 weeks
- Add Neck Lift – 2-3 weeks
After the surgery, you will need to avoid active activities for 3-4 weeks. You may start earlier but with the understanding that activity has the potential to prolong swelling and bruising
Feeling normal can vary as it is subjective. Although most patients will not have a lot of pain, most patients will feel some soreness for about 2 weeks. Minor swelling may continue for about 2 to 3 months.
1 year. It will take about a full year and more for your scar to completely whiten, fade, and flatten. For this reason, scar revision procedures will not be performed for a full year. Because the nature and quality of your scars depends on many factors outside of the surgeon’s control, scar revision procedures will require a small surgical fee.
Patients have a choice between oral sedation or general anesthesia. The benefit of general anesthesia is obviously the ability to be put to sleep for the entire procedure; you wake up and the procedure is done. The downside of general anesthesia, however, is the additional costs and some people don’t like the thought of being put under.
Many patients will choose to have their procedure under oral sedation. These patients will have a oral cocktail of valium and pain medicine to start the procedure. Once the patient feels calm, the area that will be worked on will be injected with long-acting pain medications similar to going to the dentist. They choose this option because of some cost savings and the ability to avoid being put under. The recovery is easier and there is in general less swelling. The downside, obviously, is that you are awake for the procedure. Most patients find it very tolerable because of the calming effects of the valium
The risks of a facelift surgery are similar to the risks of any surgery. They will also depend on if you are having any additional procedures at the same time. The general risks include
- blood collections or hematomas
- delayed healing, and
- infections.
Complete symmetry cannot be expected. Some relapse particularly in the neck is common. Scar visibility depends on many factors outside our control and may occur.
Common complaints include:
- scar visibility
- mild relapse particularly in the neck
- suture infections
- numbness on the cheek in front of the ear
Mild relapse particularly in the neck is common. Swelling will artificially make the skin look tighter and fuller than it is. You will notice that immediately after the procedure, I would not have been able to pull the tissue any tighter without risking a pulled appearance or healing problems. What I have been known for over time has been the ability to create for you a natural result with minimal risk.
Suture infections are common. General infections are very uncommon. Suture infections are usually due to the deep strong absorbable sutures. These sutures are placed to give strength to the skin closure which will produce a better appearing scar. If these sutures do not absorb fast enough, the body will sometimes reject them and push them to the surface where they can get infected. The solution, however, is easy. These sutures are simply cut at the surface and cleansed with either peroxide or surgical soap.
Numbness in front of the ear is universal. All patients will have this experience. It will go away in about 3 to 6 months.
Roughly 60 to 70 percent of patients will have their facelift procedures in the office under local anesthesia and oral sedation. The most common reasons are cost and the avoidance of having general anesthesia.
About 60 percent of my patients have a mini facelift making it the most common procedure that I perform.
- Mini Facelift – 60%
- Face and Neck lift- 30%
- Quick Lift – 10%
Anything that decreases the break-down of collagen will help preserve the benefits of your facelift procedure. Anything the decreases the movement or stretch of the tissue will help preserve the collagen in your tissue. In addition, there are some techniques and options to adding or rejuvenating your existing collagen.
Botox – Botox stops the dynamic facial muscles from working. Treatment of the glabellar lines between the eyes ( that normally pull the brows down ) keeps the brows elevated for longer. Treatment of the crows feet lines ( that also normally pull the brows down ) keeps the brows elevated for longer but also prevent the movement of the thin skin around the eyelids and temple. Fat volume is better preserved in the temple while the eyelid skin does not stretch and break down as fast.
Facial Fillers like Juvederm or Voluma – Facial fillers will distend the facial skin so that there is less movement. Less movement will in turn slow the breakdown of the tissue collagen and therefore slow down facial aging
Facial Lasers and Skin Care – Facial lasers including the Forever Young BBL, Micro Laser Peel, and the Profractional not only treat the visible effects of aging including the brown spots, fine lines and wrinkles, but they all add and reorganize collagen. Adding collagen will slow down facial aging
Fat Transfer- Fat transfer can be thought of as a natural facial filler. One of the benefits that fat cells contain stem cells that continue to stimulate cell growth as well as stimulating the production of collagen
Sculptra- Sculptra is another facial filler. It is unique amongst the facial fillers in its ability to stimulate the production of your own collagen.
PRP- PRP stands for Plasma Rich Protein. It is a technique that includes taking and processing your own blood to extract growth factors and stem cells that are located in your platelets. After extracting the factors, they are re-injected either into skin and tissue to stimulate the growth of your own collagen.
Cosmetic Surgery of the Body
Brazilian Butt Lift
Leesburg - Northern Virginia - Loudoun
- Provides a more uplifted, rounder, and shapelier buttock
- Reduces fatty bulges from the waist, abdomen, and thighs
The Brazilian butt lift is one of the fastest growing surgical procedure in the world. It is a procedure that has become popular in both men and women. The procedure is performed to enhance the buttock by transferring fat from areas that you might not want it ( such as the abdomen, waist, and thighs ) to the buttock to give it a more uplifted, rounder, and shapelier appearance.
- Transfer fat from the abdomen, flanks, and/or thighs to the buttock
- General anesthesia is required
- Procedure will take about 3-4 hours
Patients should refer to our page on fat transfer to further understand the concept of fat transfer and volume enhancements.
Patients may opt for a brazilian butt lift to restore volume that is lost to age and weight changes or simply to enhance the appearance of the area.
Like most tissues in your body, fat volume is lost with age and weight changes. Loss of volume in any tissue can be visualized by imagining the visual result of deflating a balloon; the tissue will lose its turgor and appear to sag. Adding back volume will improve this appearance.
Fat is first obtained by a gentle liposuction. The fat can be taken from anywhere in the body but is most often obtained from the abdomen, waist, and/or thighs. The fat is gently processed to remove any impurities, brought up into cosmetic syringes, and injected into the labia majora. Patients with significant skin excesses may require the excision of skin. The potential need for any skin excision will be discussed with you during your consultation.
The procedure willy take about 3-4 hours and is typically performed under general anesthesia at the surgery center.
You are a candidate for a Brazilian butt lift surgery if you feel that these characteristics describe you.
- Buttocks appears deflated and flat
- Buttocks has minimal or moderate sagging
- You have sufficient fat to donate or transfer
The nonsurgical options to adding volume to any area include cosmetic fillers such as sculptra, juvederm, and voluma. These are manufactured injectable products that are extremely convenient but more temporary.
Sculptra is the most popular of these products for performing the brazilian butt lift procedure. Sculptra will last about 3 years.
Cosmetic fillers are an excellent alternative to a fat transfer for plumping up tissue. They are however, more temporary and more expensive depending on the required volume.
Dr. Chang will help you make with your surgical options during your consultation.
- Lift a sagging buttock
- Provide more roundness
- Provide more projection
Recovery from fat transfer surgery will depend partially depend on whether your procedure will require any skin excision. Patients who have only a fat transfer can expect:
- All patients will be required to wear a compressive garment for 4 weeks
- Pain is tolerable, but you might benefit from taking the prescribed narcotic pain medication for 3-5 days
- Final results should not be expected for at least 3-6 months
- Intercourse should be avoided for 4-6 weeks
- Sutures if any are removed in 10 to 14 days
- Strenuous exercise should also be avoided for 2 to 4 weeks to help in the recovery process.
- Most patients will take 3 to 7 days off of work
As with any surgery, there are associated risks. Loss of any or all of the transferred fat is possible and at your own risk. On average, patients will keep about 70-80% of any transferred fat. Only you can decide whether the procedure can achieve your goals and whether the recovery and risk profile are acceptable to you.
- Local bleeding or bruising for up 2 months
- Prolonged swelling greater than 2 months
- Seroma fluid collection
- Infection particularly from the absorbable sutures
- Loss of sensation although rare
- Widened or thickened scar
- Asymmetry (unevenness between two sides)
- Delayed wound healing with skin or tissue necrosis
- Extra skin at the ends of the incisions
- Under-correction
- Over-correction
Unsatisfactory results that may require additional procedures. Patients will generally be responsible for any associated facility fees.
The price of any procedure is reflected in the skill and quality of your surgeon. You are paying for the skill, quality, and technique that Dr. Chang provides for your procedure
When done well, fat tranfer surgery will significantly enhance your physical appearance, so it is important to concentrate on having a skilled surgeon with years of training, like Dr. Chang, rather than a low price. To help make surgery affordable, Aesthetica Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center will help you find low-interest financing.

Many women choose to have fat transfer surgery because loss of volume in many areas of the face and body. The procedure, however, is viewed as a cosmetic surgery by most health insurance companies; they will therefore not cover the procedure.
Many surgeon offices provide payment plans to help spread the cost of surgeries that aren’t covered by insurance.

Cosmetic Surgery For Moms
What are the treatment options for your Mommy Makeover
Breast – Abdomen – Vagina – Liposuction
Your cosmetic options for improving the appearance of the skin and body depends on factors that include the the amount of fat, the amount of skin laxity, the existence of lines, wrinkles and sun damage.
Coolsculpting Mini is the next evolution of the Coolsculpting Procedure that allows us to remove unwanted fat from the neck or other small areas.
The device was made specifically for the contours of the neck. Aesthetica is proud to have purchased the first device in Northern Virginia for your benefit.
Depending on the amount of fat, you may need either one or 2 treatments. There is minimal to no pain. And there is no recovery. Most patients will return to work immediately. Results can be seen after 6 to 8 weeks.
Along with the abdominoplasty procedure, breast augmentation is the most common Mommy Makeover procedure. As you know, pregnancy and breast feeding causes the breast to enlarge, stretch, and sag. These changes usually don’t bounce back.
Breast augmentation using saline or silicone breast implants or fat transfer are procedures that can restore the volume and shape of your breasts.
Some patients, who have significant amounts of sagging may require a breast lift.
SkinTyte is an advanced nonsurgical skin tightening device by Sciton. The device delivers broad band light which precisely heats and denatures skin collagen. The collagen remolds and tightens the skin in the healing process.
SkinTye is purchased as a package of 4 or 6 treatments one month apart. There is minimal pain. And there is no recovery. Most patients will return to work immediately. Results can be seen after 6 to 8 weeks.
Liposuction, along with breast augmentation and abdominoplasties are the most common procedures performed as a Mommy Makeover procedure. Where an abdominoplasty will address the lower abdominal fat and sagging, liposuction is a useful adjunctive procedure for the fat in the flanks, lower back, and thighs.
Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that directly sucks out and removes fat. Most areas of unwanted fat can be removed. The most common areas, however, include the neck, abdomen, flanks, arms, and thighs. Small areas such as in the neck or arms can often be treated with regional anesthesia in the office instead of general asleep anesthesia in the surgery center or hospital. The most significant limitation is in patients with either a lot of fat or if there exists a lot of extra skin. Surgical tightening is required in these situations.
A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to lift sagging of the breast. The goals are to lift the breast, lift the nipple complex, tighten the skin envelope, and reshape the breast. The procedure might need to be combined with a breast augmentation if you require additional volume. Removing breast volume can be performed as a breast reduction.
Breast reduction can be performed to reduce the size of the breast. Your breast may have enlarged with pregnancy. In addition to reducing the size of the breast, the goals of a breast reduction are to elevate the breast, elevate the nipple complex, reduce the size of the areola, and to reshape the breasts. Breast reduction surgery has the highest patient satisfaction rate of any procedure in plastic surgery.
Your breast might change dramatically during and after pregnancy. The tissue might have been left sagging after being stretched in addition to losing breast volume. Breast augmentation using breast implants or fat transfer can often restore the volume to normal ( or more ), but in patients with significant sagging, they will need the addition of a surgical breast lift.
Breast augmentation can be performed using your own fat, killing two birds with one stone. That is, you can reduce unwanted fat by liposuction, only to transfer the fat to the breast where it is wanted. The advantage of this method is that is is more natural without using a artificial implant. The disadvantage is that the transferred fat is never guaranteed to survive the transfer. We can discuss the pros and cons during your consultation.
An abdominoplasty, also called a tummy tuck, is one of the most common plastic procedures in America. The goal is to remove extra loose sagging tissue of the lower abdomen. The stretch marks of the lower abdomen are removed in the process and the abdominal wall muscles are tightened from the top of the abdomen above to the pubic bone below.
The procedure does not address the flanks are lower back. Excess fat or sagging tissue in these areas may require liposuction for the fat or a lower body lift to lift the sagging tissue of the outer thighs and or buttock.
The mini-abdominoplasty procedure benefits only a small minority of women after pregnancy. The goal of the procedure is to reduce or remove stretched extra skin of the lower abdomen while tightening the abdominal wall of the lower abdomen. The belly button is not moved so the procedure is not appropriate for women who need larger amounts of tissue removal or tightening of the upper abdomen.
The vaginal canal will become more loose with age. Pregnancy and vaginal tears during delivery will often accelerate this process. The vaginal tissue will also thin out and vaginal lubrication begins to decrease. The consequences can include painful and less satisfying intercourse. The Sciton laser for vaginal rejuvenation is up to 80% effective in providing additional lubrication, thickening and tightening of the vaginal wall, while increasing sexual pleasure.
Many women are born with long or an asymmetric appearance of the labia minora. In many additional women, the labia tends to get longer with age and pregnancies. One of our specialties is the labiaplasty procedure which reduces the size and length of the labia.
Peeing when you jump or sneeze is common after vaginal deliveries. In fact, up to 70% of women are bothered by the development. Fortunately, the Sciton laser for stress urinary incontinence is effective in eliminating or dramatically reducing the problem in up to 80% of women.
Facial rejuvenation can obviously mean many things. But most people don’t realize that pregnancy will also change the appearance of your face. The weight changes stretch your collagen, resulting in the appearance of sagging tissue and wrinkles that will at a minimum benefit from botox and fillers.
Coolsculpting is the non-surgical alternative to liposuction. The goal of coolsculpting is to reduce the bulk of isolated fat pockets in areas that include the abdomen, flanks, upper back, arms, neck, and thighs. I’m sure we can find other areas to treat too. The biggest benefits include the fact that there is no surgery involved, there is no down-time, and there is negligible discomfort.

Surgery can be a scary thing for most patients. Fortunately, complications are rare and usually consist of small localized areas of delayed wound healing or infection that can easily be dealt with.
Patients are often more concerned about their cosmetic outcome. For most procedures, including breast, face, or body contouring procedures, it will take anywhere from 3 months to a year for the swelling to completely resolve and the tissue to reshape itself. Until that time, it will be difficult to completely understand the results.
For this reason, revisions are never performed before the 6 month mark with very few exceptions.
INOVA Loudoun Hospital and Loudoun Ambulatory Surgery Center are the two main centers that we use.

What is Estrogen?
Estrogen is the primary sex hormone for women. It is produced primarily in a woman’s ovaries and is responsible for puberty developments including breast, public hair and menstruation. It is the reason why women have a menstrual cycle, it helps control lactation for breastfeeding and is an important part of bone growth. Estrogen, along with other hormones, including testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid hormone also help regulate glucose modulation, are instrumental in boosting energy and have a significant affect over emotions and moods. Serotonin and all those ‘feel good’ chemicals like endorphins are affected by estrogen.
Many teenage girls and menopausal women feel that estrogen is the enemy within, the dictatorial hormone they would like to expel but would ultimately miss for the good times they can provide. It is a hormone that has a huge influence on a woman’s body and mind.
Myofascial pain is often a chronic condition due to scarring and contraction of the muscle and surrounding fascial envelope. Think of it as a local or more generalized muscle spasm that can often be felt even in distant parts of the body. MedHealth 360 program for myofascial pain includes isolating the source of pain, stretching the contracted muscles, and breaking up the scar tissue. Our tools include physical stretching, massage, trigger point injections and dry needling, electrical stimulation therapy shock wave therapy, as well as a huge dose of yoga and circuit training.
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common and painful forms of isolated myofascial pain. The pain can often be debilitating. One of the hallmarks of the condition is the feeling of sharp excruciating pain with your first steps after getting out of bed. The condition is due to shortening and inflammation of the muscle and fascia along the soles of the feet and achilles tendon. The MedHealth 360 prescription for plantar fasciitis includes localized massage, orthotics, and shock wave therapy to break up muscle and fascial scars. Difficult cases might benefit from PRP injections.
Dry needling is a procedure in some ways similar to acupuncture, whereby a small needle is inserted directly into a myofascial trigger point. The needle causes the contracted muscle to relax as well as to bring in new blood and growth factors to the affected area. The MedHealth 360 plan believes that sustained benefit requires sustained emphasis on stretching the muscle, decreasing local inflammation, and promoting the health of surrounding tissue. Our tools include physical stretching, massage, trigger point injections and dry needling, electrical stimulation therapy shock wave therapy, as well as a huge dose of yoga and circuit training.
The benefits of massage shouldn’t require much introduction or explanation. It is no secret that the tension you feel in you muscles immediately improves after a great massage. Other benefits however, include improving peace of mind, increased muscular blood flow, and decreasing muscular inflammation. Massage, yoga, and fitness training are important ancillary programs at MedHealth 360.

Take the Assessment Below to Get Started
Why Do We Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?
It is important to understand that although most people think of testosterone as the “male” hormone and estrogen as the “female” hormone, men and women actually produce and circulate both hormones; they are simply present in different proportions. Both estrogen and testosterone decrease dramatically as a person ages beginning around the age of 30 and heading downwards from there. By the time a person reaches the age of 50, the levels of both estrogen, testosterone, and other essential hormones including thyroid hormone, cortisol, and DHEA have decreased to levels that no longer properly support normal physiological functions. They have entered menopause or manopause.
Hormones act as communication signals and triggers for proper organ function. For example, estrogen which regulates female fertility, increases during adolescence and pregnancy while decreases as a woman ages beyond child-bearing age; testosterone regulates male maturity, increases male sex drive and muscle production and decreases as a male ages; and cortisol along with DHEA regulate how we react to stress. Without positive levels of these hormones our bodies begin to act out and our minds become less functional. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is designed to help these symptoms by providing our bodies with the necessary hormones needed to function.
Consultation:
Your initial consultation will include a thorough assessment of your health and wellness. We want to get a good idea of how our tools can help you in your wellness journey. Some patients will benefit from simply replacing hormones that are low. Other patients will benefit from a more holistic approach to include weight loss, anti-aging, and fitness. Most patients don’t even know that their health has been impacted by how decreasing hormone levels are affecting their daily lives.
Some questions we will ask:
- Do you suffer from hot flashes?
- Are you more irritable that normal?
- Are you gaining weight despite maintaining your normal diet and activity?
- Are you finding you aren’t as interested in sex as you once were?
- Are you having a harder time climaxing or even getting aroused?
- Are you increasingly being bothered by negative thoughts?
- Do you find that your skin color and texture are changing?
- Do you suffer from high blood pressure?
What the program involves:
- Weekly Coaching
- Metabolic testing and body composition analysis
- Hormone testing for insulin resistance and cortisol levels
- Exercise Programs and boot camps for some patients
- Recommendation for treatment
What Happens Next:
Laboratory testing and studies
- Hormone levels including estrogen, testosterone, cortisol, thyroid, and dhea
- Blood studies for hemoglobin, electrolytes and psa in men
- Metabolic testing
- Body composition testing
Working Out Your Program
We will devise an individualized treatment program that will involve the following:
- Coaching and Follow-up sessions every week or two until body composition is stable
- Metabolic testing one a month for weight loss patients
- Hormone pellets are replaced every 3-4 months
- Labs are taken every 2 weeks until body composition is stable
Restore Hormonal Balance:
Hormones play a huge role in how your body regulates your weight and is the reason for many of the symptoms experienced during perimenopause and menopause. Most people will lose the ability to properly regulate their estrogen, testosterone, insulin, cortisol, and thyroid levels as they age. Even young people might struggle with how their bodies regulate their hormones.
Hormone Testing and Nutritional Lab Studies
- Check for insulin resistance ( the main cause of weight gain )
- Check increased cortisol levels ( seen with many medical conditions but also with high stress )
- Check for low thyroid ( a frequent cause of decreased metabolism and weight gain )
- Check for diabetes
- Evaluate electrolytes and biomarkers
Reduce Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is one of the most important problems when it comes to regulating weight. Prolonged increases in glucose and insulin levels will eventually lead to insulin resistance and weight gain. An important method of how to break the cycle of insulin resistance is medically supervised intermittent fasting. Our coaches will help you learn methods of intermittent fasting while supervising your labs and vitals.
Nutritional and Metabolic Assessment:
There will also be other tests including a comprehensive body composition analysis and metabolic test that will establish your baseline metabolism and fat composition. The analysis helps us personalize the program to your needs and follow your progress through the program.
Body Composition Analysis and Metabolic Testing
- Decrease proportion of fat over time
- Increase your proportion of muscle over time
- Increase your metabolic rate over time
- Provide weekly feedback to help you achieve your goals
Personalized Weight Loss Coaching:
Your program may include signing up for our weight loss program. You will be assigned a Nutritional Coach and Cheerleader who will help you through your weight loss journey. They are an integral part of our team and will help you with education, questions, testing, and accountability.
Nutritional Coaches are Integral to your Weight Loss Journey
- Educate you about the program
- Discuss the initial lab work and metabolic testing results
- Meet with you weekly to assess progress
- Hold you accountable to goals and progress
- Answer any questions during the week
- Cheer you on to success
Weekly Check-in:
We ensure that you have regular contact time with us. If you are on the weight loss program, this includes a weekly check-in because we know maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t always come naturally to patients. Healthy living is a combination of many lifestyle habits that many people never learned. Weekly check-ins are an integral part of establishing accountability and obtaining feedback for for your new lifestyle habits.
