Schwartz Aesthetic Institute
Verified listingAbout Schwartz Aesthetic Institute
What is Schwartz Aesthetic Institute?
This is mainly a plastic surgery practice, based in Westlake Village, CA, at 4373 Park Terrace Dr. Suite 101. The founder, Dr. Michael R. Schwartz, MD, is double board certified in plastic surgery and general surgery, and has been in private practice for 25 years. Dr. Jennifer Stark, DO, is the associate surgeon. Alongside breast, face, and body surgery, the practice runs a wellness and med spa side that includes weekly Semaglutide injections for weight loss, peptide therapy, IV vitamin therapy, hair rejuvenation, and BOTOX. The weight loss program is framed as part of a longer relationship, pairing the injections with a reduced calorie diet and physical activity, and the practice also offers body contouring procedures (tummy tuck, liposuction, arm and thigh lifts) for people who have lost weight and are left with loose skin. The surgeons see patients from Westlake Village, Calabasas, and Thousand Oaks, as well as out of town patients who travel in.
What does it cost?
No price is published for the Semaglutide injections, the consultation, or any peptide or IV therapy. There is no stated policy on insurance coverage, financing, or membership terms for the weight loss program specifically, though the practice does list financing options among its general offerings. Before booking, ask directly what the per visit or per month cost is, whether a consultation fee applies, and whether financing covers wellness services or only surgical ones.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether Dr. Schwartz or Dr. Stark personally prescribes and oversees the Semaglutide injections, since the practice is built around surgical care and it is not stated who manages the weekly injection visits week to week. Ask whether the fee includes the medication itself or just the office visit, and whether the Semaglutide used is the brand-name product or a compounded version. Ask what follow-up visits or lab work cost beyond the initial injections, and what happens if you want to stop partway through, since no cancellation or program-length terms are stated. It is also worth asking whether weight loss visits can be done by telehealth or require an in-person visit each week, since that is not addressed.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are already considering this practice for a surgical procedure, body contouring after weight loss in particular, and want weight loss injections handled by the same office rather than a separate prescriber. It may be less of a fit if you are looking for a program built specifically around ongoing hormone or peptide management, since those services are mentioned only briefly and surgery is clearly the main focus here.
