Have you been feeling unusually tired, emotionally drained, or just not quite like yourself? Maybe you’ve noticed unexpected weight gain, trouble sleeping, or a dwindling interest in intimacy. These subtle yet disruptive changes can slowly chip away at your confidence and well-being, making you wonder what’s really going on. The truth is, you might be experiencing a hormone imbalance — a natural but frustrating part of aging for both women and men.
At Bellevue Plastic Surgeons, Dr. George Marosan and his expert team understand how these shifts can affect your quality of life. That’s why we offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) using time-tested, personalized, and long-lasting pellet delivery systems. This article will walk you through how BHRT works, what its benefits are, and what you can expect on your journey to renewed energy and balance.
Why bioidentical hormone replacement?
As you age, your body naturally produces less of the hormones it once relied on to regulate mood, energy, metabolism, and sexual function. For women, this decline often becomes more pronounced during perimenopause and menopause. For men, testosterone levels begin to drop gradually after age 30 and cause a host of symptoms. While this hormonal shift is common, the symptoms can be anything but easy to live with.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy works by replenishing these hormone levels using compounds that are chemically identical to the hormones your body produces naturally. This similarity allows bioidentical hormones to interact more seamlessly with your body’s hormone receptors, which may reduce side effects and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
At Bellevue Plastic Surgeons, BHRT is administered via pellet therapy, a preferred method for many patients due to its consistency and convenience. The goal isn’t just to replace hormones — it’s to restore a sense of vibrancy and well-being that may have felt out of reach.
The benefits of hormone pellet therapy
Hormone pellet therapy is a form of BHRT that uses tiny, rice-sized pellets inserted just beneath the skin, typically in the hip area. These pellets slowly and steadily release hormones over three to six months, providing relief without the ups and downs of pills, creams, or injections. These are some of the key benefits of hormone pellet therapy:
Steady, reliable hormone delivery
One of the greatest advantages of pellet therapy is the continuous release of hormones, which mimics the way your body naturally regulates hormone levels. You won’t have to worry about daily medication schedules or inconsistent symptom relief. With pellet therapy, your body receives exactly what it needs, when it needs it.
Minimally invasive and discreet
The pellet insertion procedure is simple, quick, and performed right in the office at Bellevue Plastic Surgeons. It requires only a small incision, takes less than 15 minutes, and doesn’t interfere with your daily routine. Once inserted, the pellets are not visible and begin releasing hormones gradually, so you can focus on your life, not your treatment.
Long-lasting relief
Each pellet lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your response and metabolism. This means fewer doctor visits, no frequent refills, and longer-lasting symptom control. It’s ideal for busy lifestyles and those who prefer low-maintenance wellness solutions.
Natural compatibility with your body
Because the hormones are bioidentical, they are easily metabolized by your body. This minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and supports a natural return to hormonal balance. Many patients report feeling emotionally and physically revitalized within weeks.
