The discussion of facial changes, often termed "Ozempic face," associated with weight loss from GLP-1 agonist medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Wegovy. These changes typically involve a loss of facial volume and skin sagging. The text outlines various cosmetic solutions available to address these effects. For restoring lost volume, options include hyaluronic acid fillers, new fillers designed to stimulate fat production, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). To combat skin sagging, non-surgical methods such as radiofrequency and ultrasound devices are mentioned for their skin-tightening capabilities. The overall aim is to mitigate the aesthetic side effects while individuals achieve weight loss.
Ozempic face: A term describing facial volume loss and early skin sagging that can occur after significant weight loss from GLP-1 medications.
GLP-1 agonists: A group of medications that aid weight loss (and treat diabetes) and may lead to facial thinning due to overall fat loss.
Mounjaro: A medication mentioned among GLP-1–type treatments used for weight loss; rapid weight loss may contribute to facial volume loss.
Zepbound: A weight-loss medication mentioned with GLP-1 treatments; significant weight loss can reduce facial fullness.
Ozempic: A GLP-1 medication that can cause weight loss; associated with the term “Ozempic face” due to facial volume loss after weight reduction.
Wegovy: A GLP-1 medication for weight loss; rapid loss can decrease cheek volume and make skin look looser.
Hyaluronic acid fillers: Injectable gels used for about 30 years to restore facial volume and contour.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma): A filler option made from your own blood that can be injected to help restore facial volume.
Radiofrequency devices: Non-surgical treatments that use energy-based heat to help tighten sagging skin.
Ultrasound devices: Non-surgical treatments that use focused ultrasound energy to help tighten skin.
