The “Ozempic Body” Is Real—And Cosmetic Surgery Can Help

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro have revolutionized weight loss—and the results speak for themselves. Many patients are celebrating dramatic changes on the scale, but what’s not always talked about? The aftermath.

Enter the term “Ozempic Body.” Rapid weight loss, while exciting, can come with unexpected side effects like loose skin, deflated curves, and hollowed facial features. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and there are effective, surgical (and non-surgical) solutions to help you look as good as you feel.

What Happens to the Body After Rapid Weight Loss?

When you lose weight quickly, especially with medications, your skin doesn’t always have time to contract or adapt. The result can be:

  • Sagging skin around the abdomen, arms, thighs, or neck
  • Loss of breast volume or ptosis (drooping)
  • “Deflated” buttocks
  • Hollow cheeks or temples
  • General skin laxity and changes in tone/texture

These changes are normal—but also treatable.

Popular Ozempic Body Revision Procedures

💠 Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

Removes loose, excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles for a flatter, firmer midsection.

💠 Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)

Targets sagging “bat wings” to create a more sculpted upper arm profile.

💠 Thigh Lift

Lifts and tightens loose skin on the inner or outer thighs after weight loss.

💠 Breast Lift or Augmentation

Restores lost volume and corrects drooping. Some patients choose implants, while others prefer fat grafting for a natural look.

💠 Lower Body Lift

Comprehensive contouring for the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs in one procedure—ideal for patients with dramatic skin changes post-weight loss.

💠 Fat Transfer to Face or Buttocks

Restores volume to hollowed areas using your own fat for natural, long-lasting results. Perfect for re-contouring the face or adding shape to the butt.

When Is the Right Time for Surgery?

We typically recommend waiting until your weight has stabilized for at least 3–6 months before considering surgery. This allows for safer, more predictable results. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin elasticity, goals, and overall health to design a treatment plan tailored to you.

Non-Surgical Options Exist Too

If you’re not quite ready for surgery, we also offer:

  • RF Microneedling (e.g. Morpheus8) for skin tightening
  • Injectables for facial volume restoration
  • Skin-firming treatments using ultrasound or radiofrequency
