The Ozempic face phenomenon is a common issue for patients who experience rapid weight loss. Although sagging skin, wrinkles, and hollow cheeks are commonly linked to Ozempic, the facial aging associated with weight loss medication is actually caused by how quickly patients lose weight instead of the medication itself. (1) The high-dose injectables can have several consequences for the skin, but you can help patients improve their complexion by offering medspa treatments and surgical face procedures. We consistently serve thousands of weight loss clients with a comprehensive suite of post-Ozempic face packages.

About Ozempic Face
Rapid weight loss from skinny shots (2) can have consequences for the skin. Patients with “Ozempic face” are often left with a gaunt, aged complexion characterized by sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, and sagging jowls. Semaglutide and tirzepatide can cause signs of facial aging such as deep wrinkles and nasolabial folds to become more pronounced. They can also change the appearance of a patient’s lips, reduce jawline definition, and cause a patient to lose cheekbone definition.
Why Does Weight Loss Medication Change the Face?
Excess fat can stretch the facial skin, resulting in droopiness when the patient loses weight. The loose skin can emphasize the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and nasolabial folds. If a patient loses weight quickly, the skin may not have time to recover from the volume change. Helping patients restore their younger complexion by offering Ozempic face packages can serve your patients by helping them feel more confident in their appearance after weight loss.
Benefits of Offering Ozempic Face Treatments
There are several treatments you can offer to patients who are suffering from Ozempic face, depending on the severity of their condition. During your initial consultation with patients, reassure them that you offer a variety of treatments to help their skin bounce back. Remind them of the benefits of medically-assisted weight loss programs, including:
- Increased self-esteem: Patients can improve their relationship with their bodies and the way they feel about themselves.
- Long-lasting results: You can help patients enhance their quality of life with the ability to eat normal portions with a more active metabolism.
- Increased mobility: Exercise and living a healthy lifestyle is often easier without excess fat.
- Reduced risk of life-threatening disease: Patients can live a longer and healthier life without the risk of diabetes and cardiopulmonary conditions associated with being overweight.
Medspa Treatments for Ozempic Face
There are several minimally invasive treatments you can offer patients to treat Ozempic face. If you reposition your treatments to include after-weight benefits, you can promote packages to clients who pay a regular fee for recurring medspa services. A recurring package that renews monthly gives patients access to affordable treatments and generates predictable revenue. Offering a customizable suite of restorative treatments also shows patients that you care about their well-being. Some examples of how you can reposition your current services to market them to your weight loss patients include:
- Microneedling: An effective way to reduce weight-loss-related facial aging by stimulating essential collagen proteins to renew the skin barrier
- Dermal fillers: Restore natural-looking volume to the cheeks, lips, and under-eye area with dermal fillers specifically designed for soft, natural volume after weight changes
- Sofwave: An FDA-approved treatment for lifting eyebrows and reducing wrinkles and fine lines with ultrasonic energy and heat to help reduce the appearance of Ozempic face
- Ultherapy: Renew the skin barrier and reduce sagging skin with radiofrequency and microneedling treatments that require minimal downtime
- Chemical Peels: Rejuvenate the deepest layers of your skin with customizable peels that restore the skin at different depths depending on the severity of your Ozempic face
- FaceTite: Achieve a smoother complexion and tighten the skin without surgical scars or the downtime of a facelift
- Facials: LED light therapy, pharmaceutical-grade serums, and oxygen treatments to improve the skin barrier over time with a series of customizable treatments
- At-Home Skin Care Packages: Our skincare experts can hand-pick creams, cleansers, exfoliants, toners, and lip treatments to elevate your at-home care routine
- QuantumRF: This non-invasive procedure uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten loose skin and contour the body.
- MIRIA Laser by AVAVA: This is an advanced light-based treatment that precisely targets water in the skin to promote coagulation and rejuvenation. It can be customized for different depths, depending on a patient’s needs.

Surgical Procedures for Ozempic Face
We recommend creating separate packages for surgical and nonsurgical procedures because they require more extensive intervention. Instead of the option to pay for a monthly facial package, you can offer financing for patients who need it through companies such as CareCredit to make treatments more accessible to your patients. For severe cases of Ozempic face that you cannot treat with nonsurgical medspa treatments, we recommend offering a:
- Facelift: You can highlight the benefits of a facelift for weight loss by emphasizing how the procedure is effective for lifting the face. SMAS facelifts are particularly effective for restoring the complexion of weight loss patients. (3)
- Facial Fat Transfer: If a patient has severe “Ozempic face” and sunken cheeks and you are offering facial fat transfers that require liposuction, you can emphasize the benefits of liposuction for “Ozempic body.”
- Chin Liposuction: If a patient has excess fat beneath their chin, you can help them receive a sharper jawline with chin liposuction.
- Blepharoplasty: If stretched skin has left your patients with droopy eyes, blepharoplasty can help them achieve a more refreshed look.
- Brow Lift: A brow lift can correct any droopy or lax skin above the eyebrows if the patient’s skin is stretched from excess fat.
- Upper Lip Lift: Since rapid weight loss can affect the appearance of the lips, you can perform a lip lift to rebalance the patient’s features.
- Facial implants: For severely sunken cheeks that cannot be corrected with dermal fillers, you can offer facial implants to safely restore volume for long-lasting results.
- AlloClae: This fat matrix is a great option for patients who do not have sufficient fat for a fat transfer, but still want to achieve the natural results of a fat grafting procedure.
