Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) in Atlanta, GA
At IBI Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, Dr. Angelina Postoev offers bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, also known as BHRT. BHRT uses hormones that are chemically identical to the ones your body naturally produces and replenish them to provide relief for symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and bone thinning, etc.
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to help manage symptoms that occur when the hormone levels in your body decrease or get out of balance. This is especially common for women during menopause, but it can also be beneficial to men or when used for other conditions.
The term “HRT” is often used to describe hormone therapy in general, but it often refers to therapy that uses synthetic hormones. BHRT (bioidentical hormone therapy) is different because it is designed to closely match your body’s natural hormones, which is Dr. Angelina’s preferred method of treatment.
HRT is available in various forms, and Dr. Angelina Postoev can help determine the type of treatment and the form that will work best for your circumstances. During your consultation, Dr. Angelina will discuss whether BHRT or another form of HRT is the right option based on your symptoms, health history, and goals.

The most professional, yet compassionate set of people I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Medina, Stacey and Christine are heaven sent! I literally followed Dr. Medina from Boston to Atlanta because he’s an excellent surgeon and will deliver hands down. Stacey will literally answer the phone in the middle of the night if you have any questions. Thank you all for contributing to making me feel alive again.
