“Ozempic Face” & What to Do About It: Beyond the Creams, Toward Real Rejuvenation
The weight-loss revolution fueled by GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® has changed lives — improving health, energy, and confidence.
But alongside these benefits comes an unexpected side effect often called “Ozempic face” — a term that’s sparked national conversation in Allure, Marie Claire, and other major publications.Characterized by facial hollowing, sagging skin, and a crepey texture, “Ozempic face” can leave patients looking older or more tired than before their transformation.
And while new creams and serums promise fixes, once volume loss and skin laxity set in, topical solutions can only do so much. The most effective path? A strategic blend of medical-grade treatments, energy devices, and—when needed—surgical rejuvenation.
Non-Invasive Options: Start Early, Correct Smart
1. Advanced Skincare Regimens
Incorporate products containing:
• Peptides & retinoids for collagen stimulation
• Copper peptides to restore elasticity
• Hyaluronic acid for hydration and plumpness

3. Volume Restoration with Injectables or Fat Transfer
• Hyaluronic acid fillers can replace lost structure in cheeks and jawline.
• Autologous fat transfer adds long-lasting, natural softness.
🧠 Tip: Noninvasive treatments work best when skin retains elasticity. Once deeper laxity appears, surgical rejuvenation becomes more effective.
Surgical Rejuvenation: Because the Neck & Jawline Matter
When weight loss or aging causes deeper sagging and structural collapse, surgical restoration is often the most effective and lasting solution.
1. Facelift + Neck Lift
These procedures address underlying muscle layers (SMAS and platysma), remove excess skin, and restore youthful support to the face and jawline
2. Renuvion Neck Tightening
Renuvion’s radiofrequency and helium plasma energy tightens tissue beneath the skin’s surface, improving definition without large incisions.

3. Combination Rejuvenation
For many patients, combining fat transfer, facelift, and Renuvion tightening delivers the most comprehensive, natural restoration — addressing volume, structure, and skin tone all at once.
One surgical insight: Patients who have lost significant weight or used GLP-1s often exhibit weakened skin elasticity. Expert surgeons like Dr. Burns tailor techniques to account for these changes, ensuring durable, balanced results.
Why It Matters: Restoring Confidence, Not Just Youth
“Ozempic face” isn’t about vanity — it’s about harmony, proportion, and self-confidence.The goal isn’t to erase time, but to restore balance and authenticity.
By addressing structure (not just surface changes), patients can achieve:
• Softer, more youthful contours
• Improved skin texture and tone
• A refreshed appearance that still looks like you
