About Cape Fear Aesthetics

What is Cape Fear Aesthetics?

Cape Fear Aesthetics is a plastic surgery and medical spa practice at 2053 Valleygate Drive #102 in Fayetteville, NC 28304. Its main work is cosmetic, from facial, breast and body surgery to medspa treatments such as injectables, chemical peels and laser hair removal. Medically supervised weight loss is one of its services. Dr. Edward Dickerson is the prescriber for its weight loss care, and the practice describes him as a double board certified facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist.

The weight loss services include a physician-supervised program, an HCG weight loss program, and B12 injections offered alongside it. The HCG program runs 40 days or 23 days, depending on how much weight is to be lost. It comes with a food scale, a weight scale, and phone and email support from Dr. Dickerson and staff. The practice names semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide among its medications and also offers peptide therapy. The first consultation can be booked by telehealth.

What does it cost?

The practice does not publish prices for weight loss, hormone or peptide care. It does not state a consultation fee, and it does not say whether medication is included in a program's price. It accepts a variety of payment methods and offers financing through CareCredit, United Medical Credit, and Prosper Healthcare Lending. It does not say whether it bills insurance.

One term it describes is a three-month period. In its own words: "At the end of the three-month period, the decision to continue with the program is entirely yours." It does not say what that period costs or what it includes, so get that in writing before you sign anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. The practice names Dr. Dickerson as prescriber, but it does not state his MD or DO degree, so ask which physician sees you and what degree is on the prescription. Ask whether the program fee includes the medication, and whether injections, lab work and follow-up visits are billed separately. Ask whether each drug, including the hCG, the peptides, and semaglutide, tirzepatide or retatrutide, is brand-name or compounded, and who makes it.

Ask how cancellation works and whether any part of the fee is refundable after the three-month period. Ask whether HSA or FSA cards are accepted, and which states the telehealth consultation covers, since the practice does not name them. The practice also posted a notice of a data security incident dated January 15, 2025, so ask what was affected and what changed. The weight loss concierge line is 910-323-3757.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you plan to pay cash or use financing for medically supervised weight loss or peptide care, and you are willing to get price, medication and cancellation terms in writing before you commit. It is a weaker fit if you need hormone replacement therapy, which the practice does not describe offering, or if you want published prices before you call.
