Is Labiaplasty Right for You? A Guide to Costs, Benefits, and Realistic Expectations
GLP-1 medications like tirzepatide and semaglutide have helped thousands of patients achieve meaningful, lasting weight loss—and in many cases, improved overall health, energy levels, and confidence. Some patients even find that their facial features appear more sculpted or balanced after slimming down. But for others, especially after rapid weight loss, minor changes in volume or skin tone can appear. The good news? These effects are manageable—and in many cases, treatable—without surgery.
There’s been a lot of media attention on what’s now being called “Ozempic Face.” While that phrase might sound dramatic, it refers to volume loss or subtle laxity that can occur in the face after rapid weight loss—something that’s not exclusive to GLP-1s and can happen with any effective weight reduction strategy.
Not everyone who loses weight will experience facial sagging or hollowness. In fact, many patients feel their face looks better—more contoured, more defined, and more proportional—after weight loss. Facial changes depend on many factors, including age, skin elasticity, and how quickly the weight was lost. This page is for those who notice volume loss or skin laxity and are looking for supportive, non-surgical solutions.
If you’re looking to fine-tune your appearance after weight loss, there are non-surgical options that can help you maintain a lifted, vibrant look, without needles, downtime, or surgery. At Nazarian Plastic Surgery, we focus on building on the progress you’ve made, not reversing it.
Fillers have become one of the most popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation options over the last decade or so, and they are a great option for post-weight loss volume restoration. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be used to add volume and subtly lift sagging skin in areas like the cheeks, temples, jawline, and under the eyes. Common options for dermal fillers include Juvéderm and Restylane, which are FDA-approved and safe for most patients. A qualified aesthetic medical injector can help you determine which will be best to suit your needs.
Another option for injectable filler is slightly different than your standard HA dermal filler. Known as biostimulators, fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse are actually designed to increase collagen and elastin production in the skin over time for an incredibly natural-looking improvement. By stimulating collagen production, these injectables can gradually improve skin thickness and elasticity for more youthful contours.
Fillers are far from the only solution for Ozempic Face and sagging skin. There are many energy-based options, including fractional lasers, RF microneedling, Plexr, Pelleve, and many more. Often used in the midface and jawline, these kinds of treatments are great for addressing laxity in the jowls and chin area. Energy-based skin tightening treatments are non-surgical with little to no downtime and offer incredibly natural-looking results.
But wait, there’s more! Another possibility for patients who would like a natural solution for mild skin sagging or loss of volume is PRP–platelet-rich plasma. This method takes concentrated components from the patient’s own blood that contain growth factors and repair cells, and purifies them before they are injected into areas of concern. This can stimulate collagen building, create a healing response, and result in supple, healing-looking, vibrant skin.
You’ve done the work. You’re stronger, healthier, and showing up in life the way you want to. If the skin on your face hasn’t caught up to how you feel inside, we can help you realign both. Whether you’re seeing minor changes or just want a subtle refresh, non-surgical treatments can support your skin and help you feel fully at home in your new body.
In most cases, these types of treatments are great for patients who have seen significant weight loss but are not at an age where a facelift or more invasive methods are needed. Patients also must have sufficient elasticity in the skin for these treatments to be the most effective. In general, patients should be at or near their goal weight and should not be smokers.
The key to finding out whether you would be an ideal patient for non-surgical skin tightening solutions is to meet with a qualified and experienced provider who can effectively assess your skin and create a tailored, perfectly crafted treatment plan. Call Dr. Nazarian and her team today to discover your options.
