Weight loss from GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Wegovy can lead to a phenomenon known as "Ozempic face," characterized by volume loss in the cheeks and sagging skin. Several aesthetic solutions are available to address these concerns. For restoring facial volume, options include hyaluronic acid fillers, newer fillers designed to stimulate natural fat production, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) which uses a patient's own blood as a filler. To counter skin sagging, non-surgical approaches involve devices such as radiofrequency and ultrasound technologies that promote skin tightening. These treatments offer ways to mitigate the aesthetic side effects of rapid weight loss, allowing individuals to improve their appearance while on GLP-1 agonists.
