This common side effect, often called “Ozempic face,” can leave you feeling self-conscious despite all your hard-won progress. The good news is that Dr. Mark D. Epstein, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons with over 25 years of experience, can address it using various techniques and facial procedures.
Why Facial Volume Loss Occurs After Weight Loss
When a person loses weight quickly, their body often sheds fat from the face, resulting in a more aged appearance. Without the natural fat pads, the skin may also lose elasticity, highlighting wrinkles and lines.
Additionally, the production of collagen (an essential protein in the skin) can slow down with age. This exacerbates hollowness and loose skin.
Treatment Options to Restore Facial Volume
Several cosmetic services can combat characteristics of Ozempic face. Some of the most popular ones include:
- Dermal Fillers: Injectable fillers add volume to areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline. These treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and provide immediate results.
- Facial Fat Grafting: Fat grafting uses your fat to replace lost volume. Fat is harvested from an area like the abdomen or thighs, purified, and then injected into the face for a more natural, long-lasting outcome.
- Facelift Surgery: A facelift (rhytidectomy) can provide more comprehensive improvements for those with significant skin laxity. It tightens the underlying structures and smooths sagging skin.
- Brow Lift Surgery: A brow lift raises the forehead and eyebrows. This reduces wrinkles, frown lines, and sagging skin, opening the eyes for a more refreshed and alert look.
- Eyelid Surgery: Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids to lessen drooping and under-eye bags.
