Has rapid weight loss left your face looking hollow and aged, a condition often referred to as “Ozempic face”?
At Dr. Syra Aesthetics & Longevity Institute, led by Syra Hanif, M.D., we offer treatments specifically designed to restore facial structure, volume, and health. Our experts use advanced techniques, including dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation therapies, to address the effects of major weight loss, leaving you with a fresher, more natural appearance.
What’s Ozempic Face?
“Ozempic face” refers to the significant facial changes that occur after extreme weight loss, often resulting in a hollow, aged appearance with gaunt cheeks. Ozempic, or semaglutide, is a medication primarily used for blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. While it helps reduce fat efficiently, it can also reduce facial fat, leading to sagging skin and sunken cheeks, making individuals appear older than their actual age.
The term “Ozempic face” highlights these unintended cosmetic effects that accompany the use of weight-loss medications like Ozempic. Treatments generally focus on restoring lost facial volume and rejuvenating the skin to create a more youthful, balanced appearance.
Signs of Ozempic Face
Ozempic face is characterized by clear changes in facial appearance after significant weight loss due to medication. Common signs include:
Hollow Cheeks
Loss of facial fat can lead to sunken or hollow cheeks.
Sagging Skin
The skin, especially around the jawline and cheeks, may lose firmness and begin to sag.
Deepened Facial Lines
Wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), can appear more pronounced.
Loss of Volume
Areas like the temples, under the eyes, and around the mouth flatten, making the person appear older.
What Does Ozempic Do to
Your Face?
Ozempic is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes and for weight loss management. However, significant weight loss can sometimes result in an
“Ozempic face.” Here’s how it affects facial appearance:
Fat Loss in the Face
Along with overall weight loss, facial fat is reduced, causing the face to appear more angular and thinner. This fat loss, especially around the cheeks and temples, can lead to a hollow, sunken look.
Skin Laxity
Rapid weight loss can result in loose, sagging skin, particularly around the jawline, cheeks, and neck, as the skin may not return to its former firmness.
Deeper Wrinkles and Lines
The reduction in facial fat can deepen wrinkles, such as smile lines and crow’s feet, as there’s less fat to support the skin.
Aged Appearance
The combination of fat loss, sagging skin, and deepened lines can create a tired, aged look—referred to as “Ozempic face.”
While Ozempic is effective for weight loss and diabetes management, these unwanted facial changes can be improved with cosmetic
treatments such as dermal fillers or skin tightening.
Best Treatments for Ozempic Face
If you’re experiencing the side effects of Ozempic face, here are the best treatment options:
Sculptra helps address the hollow, sunken look that can come with Ozempic face by stimulating your own collagen to gradually rebuild volume and support in the cheeks, temples, and midface for a softer, more balanced appearance.

Morpheus8 targets the loose, sagging skin that often appears after rapid weight loss. By tightening and remodeling the deeper layers of the skin, it improves laxity along the cheeks, jawline, and neck, helping sharpened Ozempic face features look firmer and more lifted.

Dermal fillers restore immediate volume in areas like the cheeks, under-eyes, and around the mouth to soften the gaunt, tired look associated with Ozempic face and bring back youthful curves and contour.

Microneedling with PRP helps improve the thin, finely wrinkled skin that can appear after Ozempic-related weight loss by boosting collagen, enhancing skin thickness, and smoothing texture so Ozempic face changes look softer and less noticeable.

I loved my first experience at Syra Aesthetic! I had Dr. Hanif as my provider, and she thoroughly educated me on a treatment plan for my concerns. We did a Morpheus8 radiofrequency microneedling treatment, and I loved the results. I have already booked another treatment in a month from now!
