There’s much that’s already been said about the Ozempic (Semaglutide) trend that is soaring in popularity across the world. The drug, which was initially developed to treat diabetes, has be praised for its amazing weight loss benefit in patients both with and without diabetes. Simply put, Ozempic works by basically telling your brain you’re full, helping you control cravings and stave off hunger. The results are often dramatic weight loss – with some patients losing 10 or more pounds each month! But along with that weight loss some patients may experience an unwanted side effect: “Ozempic face.”
Ozempic face is the term used to describe the sunken or sagging facial features that may come along with rapid weight loss. As a result, many people with Ozempic face are turning to plastic surgeons to help them restore that youthful look to their face – the look that they feel best matches their newfound confidence and energy.
If you have lost weight with Ozempic, another Semaglutide product, or by any other means, you may also be experiencing some of the signs of rapid weight loss, including loose skin, sagging skin, and hollowed cheeks or eyes. But don’t despair- Dr. Mitchell can help! You worked hard to get the body you want- now it’s time to get the face to match. Here are a few options for helping cure Ozempic face, so you can put your best face forward!
Facelift
Facelifts are often associated with older patients who want to address the signs of aging such as sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of collagen, however many younger patients are turning to facelifts to help tighten up the face after weight loss due to Ozempic. Don’t think you’re “too young” for a facelift! If you have sunken cheeks, sagging jowls, deep eye bags, or any other facial issues, speak to Dr. Mitchell about a facelift at any age!
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are great for ‘plumping up’ deep lines and wrinkles, filling out the lips, and rounding out cheeks or sunken undereyes. Getting dermal filler injections following your Ozempic treatment is a great way to fill out the face without gaining back that weight that you worked so hard to lose!
Skin Removal
Losing weight can sometimes come with a little bit of extra loose skin, making you self conscious about showing off your new figure. But skin removal surgery can help! Excess skin can be removed from the arms, legs, abdomen, and more, depending on the area, so speak to Dr. Mitchell if you’d like to learn more.
Breast Augmentation
Losing weight can often mean your breasts get smaller, but despite the loss in size, you can also lose volume and ‘perkiness.’ Breast reduction or augmentation can help.
Don’t let excess or sagging skin prevent you from enjoying your new body. If you’ve lost weight and would like to streamline your figure, give Dr. Mitchell’s office a call for a consultation today!
