About Gupta Plastic Surgery

What is Gupta Plastic Surgery?

Gupta Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgery practice with offices in San Diego and Encinitas, California. Most of its work is surgical and non-surgical cosmetic and reconstructive care, including body, breast, face, and skin procedures, along with Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser skin resurfacing. Weight loss is one of its services. Of the areas this directory covers, it offers medical weight loss only. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy, or longevity medicine.

Abhay Gupta, MD, FACS, is the physician who prescribes and supervises the weight loss treatment. He is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with over 25 years of experience and fellowship training at MD Anderson and the Cleveland Clinic. The weight loss program uses compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. On semaglutide, the practice says: "Gupta Plastic Surgery partners with a third-party 503B pharmacy for all compounded semaglutide medications." The practice shows a 4.7-star rating from 617 reviews.

This listing is for its San Diego office at 10672 Wexford St #275.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Its weight loss program is described as a monthly plan covering initial and follow-up consultations with Dr. Gupta, lab tests, compounded semaglutide and syringes, dosage adjustments, and 24/7 phone access. The medication is named as part of the plan, but no monthly figure appears anywhere. No consultation fee is listed, and the practice does not say whether it accepts insurance. A patient review mentions pricing and financing options, but the terms themselves are not spelled out. Cancellation terms are not stated either.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for the monthly price in writing, along with the consultation fee and whether the price covers every lab test and follow-up visit. Ask whether tirzepatide is compounded or a brand-name product, since the practice describes compounding for semaglutide and does not say the same for tirzepatide. Ask who signs each prescription, whether Dr. Gupta reviews every refill, and how quickly refills are filled. Ask whether follow-up visits can be done by video, because telehealth is not mentioned. Ask how the monthly plan is canceled and whether there is a minimum commitment. Finally, ask whether insurance is accepted and what financing options exist.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss medication supervised by a plastic surgeon, you are prepared to pay cash, and you are willing to get the full price in writing before you commit. It is not a match if you need hormone or peptide care in the same office, or if you want a published price before you call.
