Facial Volume Loss and Laxity After Weight Loss, Treated with Precision
“Ozempic face” is a term used to describe the facial changes that can occur after rapid or significant weight loss, whether from GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, or from weight loss more broadly.
Patients often notice:
- Hollowing of the cheeks and temples
- Deepening folds
- A tired or aged appearance that does not match how they feel
At VG Signature, Ozempic face is approached as a structural and anatomical issue, not simply a volume problem.
What Causes Ozempic Face?
Rapid weight loss affects more than body fat. In the face, it can lead to:
- Loss of deep and superficial fat pads
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Descent of facial tissues
- Unmasking of age-related laxity
While medications accelerate weight loss, they do not directly “cause” facial aging. Rather, they reveal underlying structural changes that were previously supported by facial volume.
Understanding the cause is critical to choosing the right solution.
Why Fillers Alone Often Fall Short
Many patients are initially advised to “replace volume” with dermal fillers. While fillers can help in select cases, they often fail to address:
- Tissue descent
- Jowling
- Neck laxity
- Loss of facial definition
Over time, repeated filler treatments may add weight without restoring structure, leading to a heavy or distorted appearance.
At VG Signature, fillers are used selectively and conservatively. When laxity is present, structural correction is often required.
The Corrective Approach to Ozempic Face at VG Signature
Treatment is individualized and based on anatomy, not trends.
Options may include:
Structural Rejuvenation

may be the most effective way to restore youthful contours.
Volume Restoration (When Appropriate)
In most patients, fat transfer is used to restore softness after structure has been corrected.
Long-Term Maintenance
Skin quality, collagen support, and facial maintenance play an important role in preserving results.

Why Surgical Correction Often Delivers the Best Long-Term Result
Ozempic face is frequently misunderstood as a volume-only issue. In reality, skin laxity and tissue descent are often the dominant problem.
Surgical correction:
- Restores facial anatomy
- Improves jawline and neck definition
- Produces results that look natural in motion
- Avoids overfilling
When performed with restraint and precision, surgery can refresh the face without changing identity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ozempic Face
Q.1 Is Ozempic face permanent?
Answer: Facial changes from weight loss do not reverse on their own. However, they can be effectively treated when addressed properly.
Q.2 Can fillers fix Ozempic face?
Answer: Fillers may help mild volume loss, but they cannot lift sagging tissue. In many cases, structural correction is required.
Q.3 Do I need surgery?
Answer: Not everyone does. The right treatment depends on the degree of laxity, volume loss, and facial anatomy.
Q.4 Will stopping Ozempic reverse the changes?
Answer: Stopping medication does not typically restore lost facial structure or elasticity.
