Ozempic Facelift

As more people turn to medications like Ozempic for effective weight loss, many individuals are achieving their health and fitness goals. However, with rapid weight loss comes unexpected cosmetic challenges, especially in the face, a condition commonly referred to as “Ozempic Face.” Characterized by volume loss, sagging skin, and deepened wrinkles, Ozempic Face can significantly alter one’s appearance, making individuals look older than they feel. At LM Medical NYC, Dr. Lesley Rabach, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing in facial cosmetic procedures, offers the Ozempic facelift—a tailored solution to restore youthful facial contours following significant weight loss.

What is Ozempic Face?

Ozempic Face refers to the sagging skin, volume loss, and facial aging that often accompanies rapid weight loss induced by medications like Ozempic. As the face loses fat, especially in the cheeks and jawline, the skin becomes loose, resulting in a gaunt or hollow appearance. While weight loss is a positive achievement for overall health, it can accelerate facial aging in people over 40, as the natural decline of collagen and elastin makes it difficult for the skin to bounce back.

Patients using Ozempic typically lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, which is faster than natural weight loss through diet and exercise. This rapid change can exacerbate the loss of facial volume, leading to the appearance of premature aging. The phenomenon is particularly common in individuals who lose 15-20 pounds or more.

Facelift Options for Post-Weight Loss Patients at LM Medical NYC

At LM Medical NYC, Dr. Lesley Rabach offers a variety of facelift options specifically designed to combat the effects of Ozempic Face. Whether you are experiencing mild sagging or severe skin laxity, these facelift procedures can help you regain a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Deep Plane Facelift

Recognized as the most comprehensive option, the deep plane facelift is ideal for individuals experiencing severe sagging and loss of facial structure following significant weight loss. This advanced technique lifts and tightens the deeper layers of facial tissue, including the underlying muscles, to restore the natural contours of the jawline, cheeks, and neck. Studies have shown that deep plane facelifts offer longer-lasting results than traditional facelift methods, making it an excellent choice for post-weight loss patients.

Mini Facelift

For patients experiencing early signs of sagging but who do not yet require a full facelift, the mini facelift (often called the “weekend facelift”) is a less invasive option. This procedure focuses on mild sagging around the lower face and neck, offering subtle yet effective results with minimal downtime. It is an ideal choice for individuals who have lost moderate amounts of weight and want to maintain a youthful appearance.

Midface Lift

If weight loss has primarily affected the cheeks, a midface lift may be the best solution. This procedure focuses on repositioning the fat pads in the midface, lifting sagging skin and restoring fullness to the cheeks. Midface lift surgery is often combined with a traditional facelift for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Facial Liposculpture and Fat Transfer

Post-weight loss patients often experience volume loss in specific areas, such as the cheeks and temples. Fat transfer procedures, which harvest fat from other areas of the body and inject it into the face, can restore this lost volume. This technique not only provides natural results but also helps smooth out deep wrinkles, including nasolabial folds, offering a balanced and rejuvenated appearance.

Complementary Procedures for Optimal Results

To enhance the results of facelift surgery, many patients at LM Medical NYC choose to combine their facelift with complementary procedures. Dr. Rabach offers a range of treatments that can further refine and rejuvenate the face:

  • Stem Cell Facelift: Stem cell injections can slow skin aging, improve elasticity, and reduce wrinkles, making them an excellent option for maintaining a youthful appearance.
  • Neck Lift Surgery: Often performed alongside a facelift, a neck lift tightens loose skin around the jawline and neck, providing a smooth, balanced appearance.
  • Brow Lift Surgery: For those experiencing sagging brows or forehead wrinkles, a brow lift can be combined with a facelift to enhance facial harmony.

The Impact of Ozempic Face on Self-Esteem and Quality of Life

Research has shown that facial aging can have a profound impact on self-esteem. A study published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that patients who underwent facelift surgery experienced a significant improvement in self-perceived age and quality of life. For individuals who have lost significant weight with Ozempic, regaining facial structure through facelift surgery not only enhances appearance but can also boost confidence and emotional well-being.

  • Dr. Morgan Rabach and her staff provide top tier care and excellent service. Dr. Rabach is well-versed in the latest research.

She didn’t settle - pushing to make sure I got the best results possible. Would recommend without any reservations!
