Ozempic face is characterized by facial volume loss and loose skin that can occur after significant weight loss in patients using GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic or similar weight-management treatments. As facial fat diminishes, areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and under-eye region may appear more hollow, sagging, or aged. At the ARTIS Institute for Plastic Surgery, personalized facial rejuvenation treatments are used to restore facial balance, support facial structure, and improve skin quality.
What Is Ozempic Face?
Ozempic face is a term used to explain changes in facial contours following weight loss. The face has a balance of fat, skin elasticity, and underlying support. When weight loss occurs rapidly, the face may lose fat volume faster than the skin can adapt, leading to hollowing, laxity, and accentuated lines. Rather than focusing on weight itself, treatment for Ozempic face addresses the structural changes beneath the skin, restoring support and improving overall facial harmony.
What Areas Are Affected by Ozempic Face?
Ozempic face affects areas with facial fat. These areas often include the cheeks, midface, temples, jawline, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye region. In some patients, changes may also extend to the neck or lower face, contributing to a more tired or deflated appearance. Because facial anatomy and weight-loss patterns vary, treatment is customized to each patient’s areas of concern while maintaining natural proportions.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Ozempic Face Treatment?
Ideal candidates are individuals who have experienced facial volume loss or skin laxity after weight loss and want to restore their appearance. Patients who are in good overall health, have reached a stable weight, and have realistic expectations typically achieve the best results. Ozempic face treatments are not intended to reverse weight loss, but rather to enhance facial structure and skin quality after weight loss. A thorough consultation helps determine the most appropriate approach based on facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, and skin elasticity.
Results and Recovery
Recovery and results depend on the specific treatments used to address Ozempic face. Many non-surgical options involve minimal downtime, with temporary swelling or tenderness that resolves within days. As swelling subsides and tissues settle, the face appears more supported, balanced, and refreshed. Improvements often continue to develop over several weeks as collagen production and tissue remodeling occur. Some patients may benefit from a series of treatments or a combination approach to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
