Ozempic Face: How Weight Loss Impacts Facial Aging

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® are transforming lives by helping people shed significant weight, often quickly and with lasting results. But while many patients are thrilled with their slimmer bodies, they’re caught off guard by unexpected changes in their appearance—particularly in the face.

This phenomenon, often called “Ozempic Face,” refers to the facial hollowing, sagging, and premature aging that can occur after rapid or dramatic weight loss. At GK Plastic Surgery, with locations across South Florida, Dr. George Kamel offers both non-surgical and surgical treatments to restore volume, lift sagging skin, and help you look as youthful as you feel.

What Is Ozempic Face?

“Ozempic Face” isn’t a medical condition, but a nickname for the facial aging that can follow GLP-1 weight loss medications. These drugs work by regulating blood sugar and slowing digestion, which helps reduce appetite and promote fat loss—including the fat in your face.

As volume is lost in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and under-eye area, the skin can appear:

• Hollow or gaunt
• Looser or sagging
• More wrinkled or crepey
• Older than your actual age

This effect can be especially pronounced in people over 40, when natural collagen and elastin production is already declining.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Ozempic Face

The good news? You don’t have to choose between your ideal body and a youthful face.

At GK Plastic Surgery, we offer customized Ozempic Face treatments that restore facial volume and structure using non-invasive or minimally invasive solutions.

Dermal Fillers

• Injectable fillers like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Radiesse® are ideal for restoring:
• Cheek volume and definition
• Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
• Jawline contour
• Fine lines and folds around the mouth

Results are immediate, long-lasting, and completely customizable to your facial structure.

Skin Tightening

If your skin has lost elasticity, non-surgical tightening treatments using radiofrequency or ultrasound may help. These technologies stimulate collagen production to firm and lift the skin over time—with no surgery and minimal downtime.

When a Facelift May Be the Best Option

For patients with more severe skin laxity or sagging, especially around the lower face and neck, non-surgical options may not be enough. In these cases, a facelift offers the most effective and long-lasting solution.

A facelift at GK Plastic Surgery:

• Lifts and repositions facial tissue
• Removes excess, sagging skin
• Restores youthful facial contours
• Provides natural, balanced results

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kamel has extensive training and experience in advanced facial rejuvenation techniques, including deep-plane facelift and neck lift procedures. He takes a personalized, artistic approach to help each patient achieve results that look refreshed—not “done.”
