Meet The Latest Plastic Surgery Craze: The ‘Ozempic Makeover’
Dramatic weight loss can sometimes come with dramatic side effects.
And that’s never been truer than it is now, thanks to the rise of popular GLP-1 medications like Ozempic. These injections are making the goal of shedding stubborn pounds within reach, but patients who’ve had success using them are noticing certain aesthetic downsides, including loose skin (a phenomenon that’s been dubbed ‘Ozempic face’) and sagging (the charmingly titled ‘Ozempic butt’). One study has even linked GLP-1 use to hair loss.
Sure, the physical transformation of a slimmer frame can result in feeling of accomplishment, but dealing with flat-looking features can erode those happy vibes, which may be why more and more people are turning to plastic surgeons for solutions. Yes, there are ways to tighten skin without surgery, but for the best—and most lasting—results, patients are opting for what’s now being called the the ‘Ozempic makeover.’
