You’ve solved one problem; you’ve finally lost weight. But massive weight loss can cause loose skin, especially in your face. “Ozempic Face” is a term you’ve probably heard and it’s real.
What is Ozempic Face
Ozempic Face is just the trending term used to name the effects that happen to your face when you’ve lost weight. Wrinkling, sagging, and loss of volume can occur in the face with significant weight loss- whether you use Ozempic or not. People who take Ozempic typically experience stronger symptoms than others, due to how much quicker they lose the weight. When weight loss is gradual, the skin has type to bounce back. When weight loss Is rapid, the skin doesn’t have that time and therefore can show harsher lines and sagging.
Add in Collagen Loss
You naturally produce less collagen as you age. Environmental factors such as the sun, smoking, and pollution can further break down that collagen. Having less collagen makes it even harder for the skin to bounce back, especially when you add rapid weight loss into the mix. One way to help support your face while on Ozempic is Sculptra. Schedule a consultation with Salt Spa and Wellness Center to see if Sculptra can benefit you.
Reverse Ozempic Face with a Face Lift
A deep place facelift in Virginia Beach combined with a neck lift can restore your facial volume and improve jawline definition. It repositions the deepest layers of the face, along with ligaments, muscles and facial fat, rather than just tightening the outer dermis. A deep plane facelift is the most permanent approach to completely rejuvenating your face after the effects of Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. Dr. Bowen of Galardi Bowen Plastic Surgery in Virginia Beach provides natural-looking results without making you look “overdone” or “fake”.
Combining treatments with your Facelift for optimal “Ozempic face” reversal
A deep plane facelift in Virginia Beach can tighten what seems to be falling down, but what about the skin itself? By combining your facial procedure with a Laser treatment such as Tetra CO2, you’re addressing everything at once. Tetra CO2 goes deep, resurfacing the skin by removing layers of the dermis that have been damaged by the sun over the years. The result- healthier, glowing, clear, bright, younger skin. Consulting with our facelift specialist, Dr. Bowen, can help individuals develop a personalized treatment plan that will tackle all angles of Ozempic Face.
Preventing Ozempic Face after your Deep Plane Facelift
Some may have undergone a Deep plane facelift in Virginia Beach before they finished with their weight loss journey, and that’s okay. We do, however, recommend that you get to your goal weight prior to your facelift. Should you decide to start Semaglutide or Tirzepatide again, there are ways to maintain your facelift results and prevent Ozempic Face from happening again;
- Dermal Fillers
Fillers are a temporary option for restoring volume in the face. Some fillers are infused with hyaluronic acid, which help to fill in wrinkles and add volume to soft tissues. By adding the volume with dermal fillers, they help fill the void that is left when weight loss occurs. Some Dermal Fillers that Salt Spa recommends include Restylane and Juvederm.
2. Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates collagen production to restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles and fine lines. It’s more natural than your typical dermal filler. Whereas filler is immediate volume, Sculptra adds volume over time with the body’s own collagen. It’s a great pairing when on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, which causes volume loss in the face over time.
3. Neurotoxins like Botox
Neurotoxins can help prevent Ozempic face a little longer by paralyzing the small facial muscles. Botox is able to smooth out lines and wrinkles that may be caused by Ozempic Face when on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide.
