What to Do About Sagging Skin and “Ozempic Face” After Major Weight Loss on GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound
Read our companion blog post on this episode
This episode discusses the phenomenon of sagging skin and facial changes, dubbed "Ozempic Face," that can occur after significant and often rapid weight loss, particularly when using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound.
We explain that this issue is caused by fast fat loss and the natural decline of skin elasticity proteins, compounded by factors like age and genetics. The article notes the commonality of these effects and presents various treatment options, ranging from surgical procedures to non-surgical methods like fillers and energy treatments, along with lifestyle adjustments to support skin health. Finally, it touches upon the emotional impact of these physical changes and the growing trend of integrated clinics offering combined weight loss and aesthetic care.
