Plastic surgeons across the US are reporting a 300% increase in demand for facial fillers and fat transfer procedures from patients experiencing "Ozempic face" — the gaunt, aged appearance caused by rapid GLP-1-induced weight loss.

The Phenomenon

Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 drugs depletes facial fat pads, creating hollow cheeks, saggy skin, and deepened nasolabial folds. Patients as young as 30 are seeking treatment.

Treatment Options

Dermal fillers ($2,000-5,000) provide immediate but temporary results. Fat transfer ($8,000-15,000) offers longer-lasting improvement. Some surgeons recommend preventive facial fat preservation before starting GLP-1 medications.
