About New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery

What is New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery?

This is a plastic surgery practice with offices in New Orleans and Mandeville, Louisiana. Its main work is cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the face, breasts and body, with non-surgical treatments alongside it. Weight loss is one of its services, offered through Semaglutide/B12 injections. In its own words: "New Orleans Center for Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery is proud to offer Semaglutide/B12 injections to help men and women who struggle with their weight live a healthy lifestyle."

Four physicians are named on its staff listing: Parker Velargo, FACS, MD; Russell Hendrick, FACS, MD; Celeste Gary, MD; and Alexis Schlosser, MD. The clinic does not say which of them prescribes the Semaglutide/B12. Its other listed services include Botox and wrinkle relaxers, dermal fillers, chemical peels, CoolSculpting, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty and facelift. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

This listing is for its New Orleans office at 2633 Napoleon Ave #920.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss injections. Its listing gives one answer on price: "Please call for pricing." It also does not publish a consultation fee, does not say whether the medication is included in any program price, and does not say whether insurance is accepted. The menu lists a Financing page, so ask what it covers before you assume a payment plan will work for you. Ask for the consultation fee, the cost of the first visit, and the total cost of the full program.

What should you ask before you book?

Call (504) 533-8848 and ask which of the four physicians prescribes the Semaglutide/B12, and whether that person sees you before the first dose. Ask whether the Semaglutide is brand-name or compounded, and what the Vitamin B12 adds to the plan. Ask whether a monthly price includes the medication, the injections and the follow-up visits, and what lab work costs.

A full medical evaluation comes before the first dose, and the injections suit people who meet specific BMI or weight-related health criteria. Ask what that evaluation costs and which criteria they use. The clinic does not say whether the Mandeville office offers weight loss injections, so ask. The menu lists a virtual consultation, so ask whether a program can start that way. Finally, ask how you cancel and whether there is a membership or minimum commitment.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight loss injections from a surgical practice that also does cosmetic work, and you are ready to get a written price and the prescriber's name before you pay anything. It may not suit you if you were hoping for hormone, peptide or longevity care, since none of those are listed.
