Undoubtedly, you have heard of weight loss medicines like Ozempic, a brand name for semaglutide. You might have also heard mention of its effects on your appearance.

So, is there anything you can do to shed pounds and still look youthful without a facelift? Keep reading to find the answer to your question, “What is Ozempic face and how to fix it?

Age and Weight Loss are a Double Hit to Skin Health and the Way You Look

Before we answer, “What is Ozempic face and how to fix it,” let us explain.

As you get older, your body stops producing collagen and elastin, fibers necessary for healthy, supple skin. When you lose weight, you lose fat, and this occurs all over including your face. What does this mean for you?

Aging combined with weight loss causes your face to lose certain attributes such as volume, shape, and youthfulness. These losses can make your skin appear duller, hollow, and more mature than you might want it to look, but you can take action!

What Is Ozempic Face and How to Fix It?

Now that you understand Ozempic face, what are your options? Thankfully, there is more than one! Once you delve into your choices, you can start to see collagen renewal is key.

These treatments are suitable for mild facial concerns and yield temporary results that can last anywhere from months to two years: 

• Dermal fillers: During treatment, gel-like substances are strategically injected to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Fillers typically consist of hyaluronic acid and are commonly used to address issues like nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and lip augmentation. If Sculptra^®, a top filler brand that contains poly-L-lactic acid, promotes the renewal of collagen.
• Laser skin resurfacing: By focusing on the targeted treatment areas, the top layers of the skin are removed. This allows the damaged skin to jumpstart the body’s healing process and new skin cells are formed resulting in tighter, smoother skin. 
• Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling: This is an advanced technique that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles create micro-injuries, and radiofrequency energy is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve texture. 

If you are looking for options that address moderate to severe skin concerns plus longer lasting, more dramatic results, speak to a reputable plastic surgeon about the following: 

• Mini facelift: This is a less invasive surgery that targets mildly sagging skin. Through small incisions, the surgeon tightens deep facial tissues. This procedure addresses early signs of aging and a minimal Ozempic face. 
• Traditional or SMAS facelift: Also known as a rhytidectomy, the surgeon repositions deeper facial tissues and removes excess skin to reduce wrinkles, eliminate jowls, and restore a more youthful appearance. 
• Deep plane facelift: Unlike a traditional facelift which focuses on more superficial skin concerns, a deep plane facelift is a more comprehensive approach that works on a deeper level. Facial tissues and muscles are repositioned as a unit. 

There is less pulling on the skin and a more natural-looking outcome. It also offers even longer-lasting results than other facelift methods. 

Is Surgical or Non-Surgical Rejuvenation Right for Me?

The easiest way to find out is by scheduling a consultation with a reputable plastic surgeon. Your eligibility for any of the above treatments is based on your medical history, general health, goals, and expectations.
