About Ozempic Face Treatments

Facelift

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, can address visible signs of aging by removing excess skin to reduce sagging skin and reposition underlying musculature. With small, discreet incisions, your surgeon can create a more youthful appearance after facial volume loss. We offer several variations of the traditional facelift, which your surgeon can tailor to address your unique concerns. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients experiencing rapid weight-loss–related facial deflation.

Neck Lift

A neck lift is a procedure that addresses droopy neck tissue for a smoother, more elegant appearance. After weight loss, patients are often left with a sagging ‘turkey neck’ that contributes to an aged look. (2) A neck lift removes excess skin from this area, often in conjunction with a facelift, as well as addresses neck banding. Neck banding occurs when the muscles of the neck thicken and create a striated appearance. For patients with Ozempic-related weight loss, this procedure can greatly improve the excess skin laxity that becomes more pronounced in the neck area.

Brow Lift

A brow lift is a procedure that addresses sagging brows by removing excess skin and lifting the brows higher. This can lessen deep forehead lines as well as provide a subtle lift above the eyes. Following significant weight loss, a brow lift can also help counteract brow deflation that contributes to a tired or aged appearance.

Facial Implants

Facial implants add volume beneath the skin to address significant volume loss and/or reshape the face for your desired look. Your surgeon will choose the size and shape of your implants based on your underlying anatomy and aesthetic preferences for natural-looking results. They can also restore definition lost due to rapid slimming of the face after medications like GLP-1s.

Facial Fat Transfer

After weight loss, patients are often left with sunken hollows in different facial regions. A facial fat transfer uses your own fat for lasting, natural-looking facial volume. Your surgeon will remove unwanted fat from one area of your body, typically the thighs, stomach, or abdomen, and transfer it to the face. The result is a natural plumping effect and enhanced facial definition. This treatment is particularly effective for restoring the soft fullness diminished by GLP-1-related weight loss.

Minimally Invasive Treatments for Ozempic Face

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers add natural-looking volume to the skin for a smoother, plumper appearance. We offer several different filler brands, including Juvéderm, Restylane, and RHA Teoxane. These are each hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers; HA is a substance found naturally in the skin, known for its hydrating effects. HA attracts and binds to water molecules in the skin, providing an instant plumping effect.

Biostimulatory Injectables

Biostimulatory injectables like Sculptra and Radiesse also add volume beneath the skin, but they work through different mechanisms. Instead of providing immediate volumizing effects, these injectables improve volume gradually by stimulating collagen production. These results tend to last longer than their traditional dermal filler counterparts.

FaceTite and NeckTite

FaceTite and NeckTite are popular treatments for after weight loss to address loose skin without more extensive surgery. These treatments use radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis, meaning they simultaneously remove fat while tightening the skin. Radiofrequency (RF) energy also stimulates collagen production in addition to skin contraction, allowing for results that improve over time.
