Choose a Physician-Led Approach to Hormonal Balance and Longevity

Hormone health is closely connected to surgical recovery, tissue quality, metabolic resilience, and the aging process—areas that Dr. Alizadeh has studied, taught, and refined for decades. At Cosmoplastic Surgery, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not offered as a standalone "wellness" service; instead, it is a medically precise extension of our work in regenerative science, outcomes-based research, and long-term physiological optimization. This approach is grounded in clinical evidence, careful monitoring, and a respect for individual biology.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

Hormones serve as biochemical messengers that affect nearly every system in the body, including:

  • Brain function
  • Metabolism
  • Bone density
  • Cardiovascular health
  • Immune regulation
  • Skin integrity

Some key hormones are:

  • Estrogen
  • Progesterone
  • Testosterone
  • Related regulatory hormones

As these hormone levels decline due to aging, stress, illness, or surgical changes, the body’s systems can lose their coordination.

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medically supervised treatment aimed at restoring declining or imbalanced hormone levels to physiological norms. HRT works by replenishing deficient hormones with carefully calibrated doses, allowing cellular receptors to function more effectively and restoring signaling pathways that support systemic balance and resilience.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy

When clinically indicated and properly managed, HRT may support:

  • Improved energy, focus, and mental clarity
  • Enhanced mood stability and emotional well-being
  • Better sleep quality and circadian regulation
  • Improved libido and sexual health
  • Preservation of bone density and muscle mass
  • Healthier metabolic function and body composition
  • Support for skin quality, elasticity, and tissue integrity
  • Reduction in vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats

Importantly, benefits depend on individualized dosing, formulation selection, and ongoing medical supervision, not one-size-fits-all protocols.

Are You a Good Candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

You may be a candidate for HRT if you are experiencing symptoms related to hormonal decline or imbalance, including:

  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive fog
  • Mood changes
  • Sleep disruption
  • Weight changes
  • Diminished vitality

Candidacy is determined through:

  • Comprehensive medical history
  • Symptom evaluation
  • Laboratory analysis of hormone levels
  • Review of cardiovascular, metabolic, and cancer risk factors

HRT is not appropriate for everyone. Certain medical conditions require alternative approaches or modified protocols. Careful screening and individualized risk assessment are essential components of responsible hormone therapy.

Why Choose Cosmoplastic Surgery for Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone therapy at Cosmoplastic Surgery embodies the clinical discipline and rigorous standards established by Dr. Alizadeh. With decades of experience in understanding how hormones influence tissue regeneration, wound healing, and recovery, our approach prioritizes physiological changes over symptom management alone.

Dr. Alizadeh’s expertise in FDA-regulated clinical trials, regenerative materials, and biologic therapies plays a crucial role in how we evaluate, prescribe, and monitor hormone protocols. This perspective allows us to thoughtfully integrate hormone therapy into a patient’s overall health plan, especially for individuals facing aging, post-surgical recovery, or complex physiological changes.

Our care is intentionally conservative and tailored to each individual’s specific needs. We strive to restore hormone levels to support normal cellular function and long-term resilience, without exceeding the body’s natural capacity. Ongoing follow-ups, laboratory reassessments, and open clinical dialogues ensure that therapy adapts to the patient’s evolving needs over time.

Cosmoplastic Surgery views hormone health as a foundational medical discipline, applying the same accountability and respect that we extend to advanced reconstructive and aesthetic care.

What to Expect Before, During, and After HRT

Consultation

  • Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, including symptom review, medical history, and laboratory testing
  • Treatment plans and costs vary based on hormone types, delivery methods, and monitoring needs
  • Transparent guidance is provided before any therapy begins

Treatment

  • HRT may involve oral medications, transdermal applications, or injectable formulations, depending on clinical needs and patient preference
  • Dosing is carefully calibrated and adjusted over time based on response and lab values

Recovery and Results

  • Many patients notice gradual improvements in energy, sleep, and mood within weeks
  • Other benefits—such as metabolic or musculoskeletal changes—develop over several months
  • Ongoing follow-up ensures safety, efficacy, and long-term balance

Let’s Talk About Your Hormone Health

Hormonal changes can be subtle, cumulative, and deeply personal, which means they require a solution that is more tailored to individual needs. If you are experiencing changes in energy, mental clarity, resilience, or overall well-being, consider scheduling a private consultation with Dr. Alizadeh and his team. This meeting will provide an opportunity to explore how hormone optimization might help restore your balance and improve your quality of life.

FAQs

How is your approach to HRT different from concierge or telemedicine hormone clinics?

HRT at Cosmoplastic Surgery is physician-led and medically integrated, with a focus on in-depth evaluation and ongoing monitoring. Treatment decisions are tailored to your overall health, medical history, and long-term goals, rather than relying on algorithms or symptom questionnaires.

Do you use bioidentical hormones?

We may use bioidentical hormones, which are identical to those produced by the human body, tailored to individual needs. The choice between bioidentical and other FDA-approved formulations depends on safety data, absorption, and patient-specific factors.

How long do patients typically remain on HRT?

There's no set timeline for therapy. Some patients may need longer-term treatment, while others use HRT during specific transitional phases like perimenopause or recovery. The duration depends on ongoing clinical assessments rather than fixed endpoints.

Will HRT interfere with future surgeries or procedures?

Hormone status affects healing and recovery. Before surgical or aesthetic procedures, hormone therapy may be adjusted to enhance outcomes. Coordinating care with HRT in a surgical practice offers significant benefits.

How often are labs and follow-ups required?

Initial follow-up usually takes place within the first few months of therapy to reassess hormone levels and response. Long-term monitoring is personalized but typically happens once or twice a year to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Is HRT the same for men and women?

No. Men and women benefit differently from hormone optimization, as hormones, dosing, risks, and goals vary. Treatment plans are tailored to individual health needs and sex-specific physiology.

Can lifestyle changes replace the need for HRT?

Lifestyle optimization (nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise) is essential for every patient. Sometimes, these measures are enough; in other cases, hormone therapy may be needed to restore balance when lifestyle changes aren't sufficient.

Are there risks or side effects associated with HRT?

As with any medical therapy, HRT carries potential risks and side effects, which vary depending on hormone type, dose, delivery method, and individual risk factors. These may include fluid retention, mood changes, breast tenderness, acne, or changes in blood parameters. Careful screening, conservative dosing, and ongoing monitoring are crucial for minimizing risk and ensuring a safe treatment.

Will HRT cause weight gain?

Appropriately prescribed HRT does not inherently cause weight gain; it may even support better metabolism and body composition for some. Weight changes are influenced by factors such as diet, activity, sleep, and metabolic health, all of which are considered in treatment planning.

What happens if I decide to stop hormone therapy?

If HRT is stopped, hormone levels gradually return to baseline, with careful management to reduce symptom recurrence. Patients receive medical guidance and support during this transition.
