With drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy helping people achieve their goal weight, the popularity of these semaglutide drugs is soaring. What some people may not know is that while these drugs are a god-send, they also have undesirable side effects. One which I can help with is Ozempic face. It’s a condition where the rapid weight loss causes patients’ skin to sag and look even older. It’s a condition, according to a recent article today.com, that is common in patients that are middle-aged and older. And it happens because patients lose facial fat.
According to the article, Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank says "One of the most common things I notice with any form of weight loss in middle-aged and older patients is we don’t all lose it in the areas we want. When we get older … the facial volume changes and shifts around. But when you lose weight so acutely and quickly ... we’re seeing these types of changes in their face where it’s actually making them look older.”
And while you’ve obtained the body image you want, the last thing you want is to look older now that you’ve finally gotten where you’ve wanted to be weightwise.
Here’s where I, Danielle Smith, Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner and Miami botox and filler specialist at smith & co. can help. One of the ways we can treat Ozempic face is with fillers. Because the face loses volume and can appear gaunt, filler can help bring a youthful plumpness back to the face. Fillers can smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. They will last anywhere from six months to a year, depending on how quickly your body metabolizes the filler, so they will need to be done again to maintain the look you desire.
Another option I can help with is PDO threads. These suture-like threads tighten and lift the skin where it may have sagged. It’s a great alternative to a facelift because there is minimal recovery time.
A combination of fillers and PDO threads is also another avenue to look into. Interested?
