Treating Ozempic Face: Restore Volume & Contours at HGH Plastic Surgery

By: Our Doctors

3/21/2025

The rapid weight loss associated with medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro can result in some unexpected changes to your appearance. While these medications are effective in helping patients shed pounds, they can lead to a condition often referred to as "Ozempic Face." This term describes the hollowed cheeks, sagging skin, and loss of facial fat that many individuals experience after significant weight loss. If you're concerned about these changes, HGH Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL, offers a range of treatments to restore volume, tighten the skin, and help you achieve a youthful and rejuvenated look.

What is Ozempic Face?

Ozempic Face refers to the facial changes that occur due to rapid or significant weight loss, particularly after using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. These medications promote weight loss by reducing appetite and increasing insulin sensitivity, leading to fast results. However, the loss of fat throughout the face can result in:

  • Hollowed cheeks and gaunt appearance
  • Deep wrinkles or fine lines, especially around the mouth and eyes
  • Sagging skin, especially around the jawline and neck
  • Loss of facial volume, creating a tired or older look

While the weight loss is often welcomed, these facial changes can leave individuals feeling less confident in their appearance. Thankfully, HGH Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL, offers a variety of treatments to help restore volume, lift sagging skin, and bring back a more youthful, vibrant look.

Treatment Options for Ozempic Face

At HGH Plastic Surgery, we understand that each patient is unique, and we offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments tailored to your specific needs. Depending on the severity of volume loss and skin laxity, we will recommend the most appropriate option for you.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Mild to Moderate Volume Loss

For patients experiencing mild to moderate volume loss due to Ozempic Face, non-surgical options can provide excellent results with minimal downtime:


  • Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid & Biostimulatory Fillers)

One of the most popular non-surgical treatments for Ozempic Face is the use of dermal fillers. These injectables, such as Restylane Lyft, Juvederm Voluma, Sculptra, and Radiesse, can restore lost volume to the cheeks, soften deep wrinkles, and redefine facial contours. Fillers help to replenish midface volume and improve skin elasticity, providing immediate results that last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.


  • Fat Transfer to the Face

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, fat transfer is an excellent option. This procedure involves harvesting your own fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs through liposuction. The fat is then carefully injected into the areas of the face that have lost volume, such as the cheeks or under the eyes. Fat transfer provides natural, long-lasting results and is ideal for patients who prefer using their own tissue to restore facial fullness.


  • PRP/PRF Injections

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments are designed to boost collagen production, improve skin texture, and restore firmness. PRP and PRF are derived from your own blood and stimulate the body's natural healing processes, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin. This treatment is especially beneficial for those with mild to moderate skin laxity and volume loss.


  • Renuvion Skin Tightening

Renuvion is a minimally invasive treatment that uses helium plasma and radiofrequency energy to tighten loose skin and stimulate collagen production. If you're experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, Renuvion can provide a noticeable lift and rejuvenation, giving you firmer, more youthful skin without the need for surgery.


  • Thread Lifts

For those dealing with sagging cheeks or jowls, thread lifts can be a fantastic non-surgical solution. This procedure involves inserting dissolvable sutures beneath the skin to gently lift and tighten sagging areas. The results are immediate, with improvements lasting anywhere from 12 to 24 months.


Surgical Treatments for Significant Volume Loss & Skin Laxity

If you’re experiencing more significant volume loss or advanced skin sagging, surgical options may be the best solution to achieve long-lasting, dramatic results.

  • Face and Neck Lift

For patients with more severe sagging and hollowing, a face and neck lift can provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation. This surgery lifts the cheeks, jowls, and neck, while repositioning tissue for a smoother, firmer appearance. A facelift is ideal for those who have experienced significant skin laxity and want to restore a youthful, lifted look to their face.

  • Fat Grafting with Facelift

Combining a facelift with fat grafting offers the best of both worlds. Fat is harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs and used to restore volume in the cheeks, under the eyes, or around the mouth. This procedure provides natural, long-lasting results, and the combination of lifting and volume restoration creates a beautifully balanced, youthful appearance.
