Facelift and Neck Lift Options After Weight Loss with GLP-1 Medications: Choosing the Right Procedure for Your New Look

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy have been helpful to countless people in losing weight considerably and improving health overall. However, from a facial plastic surgeon’s perspective, one of the unexpected consequences of significant weight loss is seen loss of volume in one’s face. Patients not only lose body fat while losing substantial weight, but they also lose facial fat. This fat loss gives a gaunt or hollow look, mainly in the cheeks, temples, and below the eyes, making individuals look much older than they are.

Facial fat acts as a natural filler, giving rise to youthful contours and fullness to the face. When this loss of volume happens, it can lead to sagging skin, deeper folds, jowling, and generalized facial laxity. These have been labeled as ‘Ozempic face,’ a condition whose name has reached broader ears because visible aging with GLP-1 drugs can be observed.

We at the Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetic Lounge in Newport Beach know how amazing it feels when our patients lose substantial weight, especially with the assistance of GLP-1 medications. Your health and sense of confidence are at an all-time high, yet you might start noticing new dynamics at work, including sagging skin on the neck and across your face. Fortunately, our award-winning surgeons at this facility provide superior facelifts and neck lift procedures to allow you to appear as vibrant and youthful as you are feeling.

Why Consider a Facelift or Neck Lift After Weight Loss?

Significant weight loss, especially with GLP-1 medications, can leave behind excess skin and a loss of facial volume. This can result in:

• Sagging cheeks and jawline
• Deep folds and creases
• Loose skin and banding on the neck

These changes can make you look older or more tired than you feel. A facelift or neck lift can help restore a youthful, refreshed appearance by tightening skin, redefining contours, and enhancing your natural beauty.
