While many people are excited about the rapid weight loss made possible by modern medications, it can sometimes lead to unexpected changes in your appearance, such as facial volume loss, sometimes referred to as “Ozempic face.”
At Youthful Reflections Facial Plastic Surgery Center, we understand the emotional and physical challenges that accompany these changes. As a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, I’m here to guide you through the aesthetic options available to restore your facial volume and allow you to fully enjoy the results of your weight loss transformation.
What Is Ozempic Face?
“Ozempic face” is a term used to describe the facial volume loss that can be one of the rapid weight loss side effects seen in patients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic for weight management. This condition is characterized by sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and a generally aged appearance. As you lose weight, the fat that once provided a youthful plumpness to your face diminishes, resulting in a more gaunt appearance.
Treatment Options for Facial Volume Loss
I offer several effective procedures to address facial volume loss, each tailored to meet your unique needs. Here are some options that can help restore a youthful appearance:
Facial Fat Transfer
One of the most effective ways to treat facial volume loss is through facial fat transfer. This procedure involves harvesting fat from another area of your body, such as your abdomen or thighs, and injecting it into areas of your face that have lost volume. The result is a natural, rejuvenated appearance that can last for many years. I often incorporate fat transfer into my signature Reflection Lift.
The Reflection Lift
For those experiencing significant sagging along the jawline and loose neck skin, my signature Reflection Lift facelift may be the ideal solution. This customized procedure addresses multiple areas of concern, providing a comprehensive rejuvenation that looks natural and enhances your overall appearance.

Brow Lift
Sagging eyebrows can contribute to a tired or angry appearance. A brow lift, or forehead lift, elevates the brows, creating a more alert and rested look. This procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other treatments to achieve the best results. Our patients often combine a brow lift with eyelid surgery for a more harmonious and rejuvenated appearance.
Eyelid Surgery
Our eyes are a focal point of our face, and droopy eyelids or puffy under eye bags can significantly affect our appearance. Eyelid surgery can lift and tighten these areas, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look. This procedure is often combined with a facelift or brow lift for optimal results. Post-procedure care is essential for recovery, and we provide comprehensive guidelines to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.
The Importance of Consulting With a Board-Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon
When considering treatments for facial volume loss, it’s essential to consult with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. Your face is the most visible part of your body, and its intricate anatomy requires the expertise of a surgeon who understands the nuances of facial aesthetics.
