Modern medicine continually evolves in ways that are both exciting and unknown. Recently, many patients have enjoyed the seemingly miraculous benefits of Ozempic (semaglutide), a GLP-1 injectable treatment that helps patients lose significant weight.
Doctors and patients alike have heralded treatments like Ozempic (and Wegovy) as the best and most modern solution for weight loss. However, rapid weight loss brings a host of unforeseen concerns that may affect people differently. Some, for example, may experience a new issue referred to as “Ozempic face,” in which the face cannot adapt to rapid fat and volume loss.
At Art of Lines MD in Vancouver, Dr. Naz Baradaran uses a variety of cosmetic services to combat facial wrinkles and volume loss after Ozempic. Non-surgical treatments for Ozempic face include dermal fillers, neuromodulators (like Botox® or Dysport®), and laser/skin-tightening procedures. Dr. Naz focuses on how your specific features, personality, character, and aesthetic goals come together to solve these issues and make you look uniquely you. We invite you to continue reading to learn more about Ozempic face and the non-surgical ways to treat it.
What Is Ozempic Face?
Ozempic face refers to the commonly seen GLP-1 symptom of sagging facial features, hollowness, wrinkles, and other similar aging signs that happen after fat loss. Ozempic’s fat loss capabilities are not limited to the body but also the face, which relies on a delicate balance of fat compartments. Rapid or significan weight loss can deflate these areas, and the facial structure changes.
Here’s what “Ozempic face” typically refers to:
- Loss of facial volume: The cheeks, temples, and under-eye areas can look hollower.
- Skin laxity: When facial fat decreases quickly, the skin may not tighten at the same pace, leading to looseness or sagging.
- A more aged or tired appearance: The combination of volume loss + skin laxity can make the face look older, even though the person is healthier overall.
What are the Best Non-Surgical Treatments for Ozempic Face?
Fortunately for patients who are experiencing signs of Ozempic face, many treatments can, when used by a skilled provider, mitigate these symptoms and have you looking younger and more like yourself.
Dermal Fillers for Ozempic Face
Dermal fillers are among the most direct ways to counter the “hollowed-out” look that often results from facial fat loss. At Art of Lines MD, fillers are used to restore youthful volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve facial contours.
Fillers can add volume to the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, chin, and other regions affected by weight-loss-related deflation. By replenishing these areas, they soften hollows, reduce deep folds, and rebuild a more balanced, refreshed facial shape. Since the fillers used often contain hyaluronic acid, which your body already recognizes, they integrate smoothly for natural-looking results.
Botox for Ozempic Face
Botox, along with similar neuromodulators like Dysport and Nuceiva, does not replace lost volume, but it plays an important complementary role. When facial fat decreases, expression lines (such as frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead creases) can become more visible. Relaxing these muscles helps soften the appearance of wrinkles and contributes to an overall smoother, more rested look.
Pairing neuromodulators with fillers allows both dynamic wrinkles and volume loss to be addressed together.
Non-Surgical Facelift for Ozempic Face (Combined Injectables & Techniques)
Art of Lines MD offers a comprehensive non-surgical facelift, which blends techniques like fillers, neuromodulators, contouring, and sometimes adjunct treatments to lift, volumize, and reshape the face without surgery.
For patients who notice sagging, hollow areas, mid-face flattening, or jowls from rapid weight loss, this approach allows multiple concerns to be corrected simultaneously. The goal is to restore facial balance and achieve a more youthful shape using minimally invasive procedures, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime.
Laser & Skin Tightening, RF Microneedling, & Other Energy-Based Therapies
Significant weight loss can leave the skin looser, thinner, or more creased, especially across the cheeks, jawline, and lower face. Art of Lines MD uses various laser and energy-based technologies, including RF microneedling and skin-tightening laser treatments, to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
These modalities help firm and tighten the skin, improve elasticity, and refine facial contours.
