In recent years, the rise of GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy has revolutionized weight loss. Originally developed to manage Type 2 diabetes, these medications have become popular for their ability to help individuals shed significant weight by reducing appetite and caloric intake. However, rapid weight loss often brings new challenges, such as loose skin and volume loss, sparking a growing trend in plastic surgery known as the “Ozempic Makeover.”
The Impact of Weight Loss on the Body
While achieving a healthier physique is a major milestone, rapid weight loss can leave behind excess skin and other aesthetic concerns. Common areas affected include:
- Face and Neck: Loss of facial fat may result in sagging skin and a hollowed appearance.
- Abdomen: Loose skin around the midsection is common after significant weight reduction.
- Arms and Thighs: Sagging skin in these areas can persist despite weight loss.
- Breasts: Volume loss often leads to sagging and a deflated look.
The Components of an Ozempic Makeover
The Ozempic Makeover is tailored to address these post-weight-loss challenges through a combination of procedures. At Brandon Plastic Surgery, we specialize in helping patients achieve their desired look with treatments such as:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): Removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles for a firmer midsection. Learn more about this procedure on our Tummy Tuck page.
- Breast Lift or Augmentation: Restores volume and lifts sagging breasts for a youthful appearance. This is often part of our Mommy Makeover services.
- Facelift or Neck Lift: Addresses facial volume loss and sagging for a rejuvenated look.
- Arm Lift and Thigh Lift: Tightens loose skin in the upper arms and thighs for smoother contours.
