What Is “Ozempic Face”?

“Ozempic Face” is a popular term used to describe facial changes that may occur after significant or rapid weight loss, particularly in patients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound.

As the body loses fat, the face can experience volume depletion, skin laxity, and changes in facial contours, leading to a more hollow, gaunt, or aged appearance. Common areas affected include the cheeks, temples, under-eye region, jawline, and around the mouth.

While the term is widely used, it is important to note that these changes are not caused by the medication itself, but rather by the physiologic effects of weight loss, which can occur with any method of rapid or substantial weight reduction.

What Issues Can This Treatment Address?

Ozempic Face treatment is designed to address facial changes that may occur after significant or rapid weight loss, particularly in patients using GLP-1 medications.

This treatment approach may help improve the following concerns:

  • Facial volume loss in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and midface

  • Hollowing under the eyes

  • Deepened nasolabial folds and marionette lines

  • Jawline softening or jowling 

  • Sagging or lax skin 

  • Increased visibility of wrinkles and fine lines

  • An overall aged or gaunt appearance

“Ozempic Face” Treatment Options

At Ohara Dermatology, treatment for Ozempic Face focuses on restoring balance, support, and skin quality, not simply adding volume.

Depending on your unique facial anatomy, degree of weight loss, skin condition, and treatment goals, options may include:

  • Injectable dermal fillers to restore lost facial volume

  • Biostimulatory injectables to encourage collagen production

  • Skin-tightening treatments to improve laxity

  • Laser and energy-based therapies to refine texture and tone

  • Neuromodulators to soften dynamic wrinkles

  • In select cases, surgical referral for advanced laxity

Which Option Is Right for Me?

There is no single solution for Ozempic Face. Facial changes after weight loss vary widely depending on age, genetics, rate of weight loss, skin quality, and baseline facial structure.

Some patients primarily need volume restoration, while others benefit more from skin tightening, collagen stimulation, or structural support. Many achieve the best outcome through a combination approach, thoughtfully layered over time.

Because facial changes after weight loss vary from person to person, a comprehensive consultation is essential to determine which concerns are most relevant and how they can be addressed safely and effectively.

What Does the Treatment Entail?

Your experience begins with an in-depth facial assessment that evaluates:

  • Volume distribution

  • Skin elasticity and quality

  • Facial proportions and support

  • Weight-loss timeline and stability

Treatment may be performed in stages, allowing your face to adapt naturally while avoiding an over-filled or unnatural look. Many patients begin treatment before reaching their final weight, particularly with collagen-stimulating therapies, while others benefit from waiting until weight has stabilized.

Comfort, precision, and subtlety are prioritized at every step.

Treatment Results

Results vary based on the treatment selected and individual response, but patients commonly experience:

  • Restored facial fullness and contour

  • Improved skin firmness and texture

  • Softer wrinkles and folds

  • A refreshed, healthier appearance that reflects how they feel

Outcomes are designed to look natural and proportional, supporting your facial structure rather than masking it.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Ozempic Face is not permanent. Facial changes can be improved with appropriately selected aesthetic treatments that restore volume, support collagen production, and improve skin firmness. Results depend on factors such as age, degree of weight loss, skin quality, and timing of treatment.

  • No. Not all patients experience noticeable facial changes. The likelihood depends on how much weight is lost, how quickly it occurs, and individual facial anatomy. Some patients notice minimal changes, while others experience more visible volume loss or skin laxity.

  • Timing is individualized. Some patients benefit from early intervention, especially with collagen-stimulating treatments, while others may be advised to wait until their weight stabilizes. Your provider will guide timing based on your weight-loss progress, facial changes, and treatment goals.

  • Yes. Many patients achieve excellent results with non-surgical treatments such as dermal fillers, biostimulatory injectables, skin-tightening devices, and laser therapies. Surgical options are reserved for cases of more significant laxity and are discussed only when appropriate.

  • Facial changes cannot always be prevented, but early evaluation, gradual weight loss when possible, proper nutrition, and skin-supportive treatments may help reduce severity. A proactive, individualized approach is key.
