Ozempic Face: Weight Loss Drug Spurs Cosmetic Surgery Surge | JQJO

The rise in popularity of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic has led to a surge in patients seeking cosmetic procedures to address the resulting "Ozempic face," characterized by sagging skin and a hollowed appearance. Dermatologists and plastic surgeons are reporting a significant increase in clients undergoing facelifts, fillers, and other treatments to restore facial volume lost due to rapid weight loss. While these drugs offer effective weight loss, they often necessitate further cosmetic interventions, costing patients significant sums. The long-term effects of these medications and subsequent cosmetic procedures are still being studied.
