About Brower Plastic Surgery

What is Brower Plastic Surgery?

Brower Plastic Surgery is a plastic surgery practice in Providence, Rhode Island. Its main work is cosmetic surgery of the breast, body and face, including breast augmentation, tummy tuck, liposuction and facelift. Jonathan Brower, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon and the only physician the practice names as a prescriber. He completed a fellowship in aesthetic surgery and plastic surgery after weight loss at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

Weight loss is one of its services. The practice runs a weight loss program built on semaglutide, a prescription medication it names. Under non-surgical care it also lists NAD+ supplementation, though it gives no detail on that service. It does not list hormone therapy or peptide therapy.

The office is at 235 Plain St. Suite 202, Providence, RI 02905, and the phone number is (401) 425-5232. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, 9am to 5pm, and Friday, 9am to 3pm. The first consultation can be virtual. The practice also lists Cranston and Warwick, but the only street address it publishes is in Providence.

What does it cost?

The initial consultation fee is $100, and the practice says that fee is credited toward the cost of the medication. The monthly price of the medication is not published, because it varies by patient. In its own words: "A complete pricing guide will be provided after your consultation." The practice does not say whether the monthly price includes the medication itself.

The weight loss program is cash pay only. The practice says it does not accept insurance for the program. A review of bloodwork is required before you start, and the price of that bloodwork is not stated. You pick up the medication and supplies at the office each month. The practice does not mention financing, HSA use, membership terms or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and who reviews your bloodwork, and whether Dr. Brower is the prescriber for your program. Ask whether the monthly price includes the medication, the injection supplies and the follow-up visits, and what the bloodwork and any lab work cost. Ask whether the semaglutide is a brand-name product or a compounded version, and which pharmacy fills it. The practice does not say.

Ask how often you will need to visit, since the program includes frequent visits, and what those visits cost. Ask about cancellation: how much notice you must give, whether there is a minimum number of months, and whether you pay for the month you leave. Ask whether the virtual consultation is open to someone who lives outside Rhode Island, since the practice names no states for telehealth. If NAD+ supplementation interests you, ask for its price and what it includes.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are already considering cosmetic surgery in Providence, or you live nearby and are comfortable paying cash for a weight loss program whose monthly price you will learn only after a consultation. It is less suited to someone who needs a published price before booking or who expects insurance to cover any part of it.
