Ozempic Weight Loss in Utah: Understanding Its Impact on Skin Elasticity

Are you considering Ozempic (semaglutide) to support your weight loss journey but concerned about the potential for sagging skin, particularly on your face? At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery in Utah, we often hear from patients navigating this exact concern.

While Ozempic has proven effective in helping individuals shed excess weight, rapid or significant weight loss can sometimes lead to unintended side effects—most notably, loss of skin elasticity. This may result in what’s often referred to as “Ozempic face,” where individuals experience facial volume loss, sagging, or deepened wrinkles.

When looking at Ozempic before and after photos, you may notice that the face can appear more aged due to the reduction in supportive fat and skin tightening that hasn’t had time to adjust. This change can be particularly distressing for patients who worked hard to lose weight but weren’t expecting to appear older as a result.

Dr. Kimball M. Crofts, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Utah, offers a range of facial and body rejuvenation procedures that can restore a youthful, natural appearance after weight loss. Procedures such as: 

• Facelifts and neck lifts to address facial sagging and jowls 
• Lower body lifts to tighten the skin around the buttocks, thighs, and hips 
• Non-surgical options may also be discussed depending on your goals and anatomy

It's also important to note that sagging skin is not limited to the face—patients often experience changes in the abdomen, arms, and buttocks. These areas can be addressed with customized surgical plans tailored to your body and your vision.

If you’re  considering Ozempic for weight loss, or are already experiencing facial or body skin laxity from previous weight loss, Aesthetica Plastic Surgery is here to help. Schedule a personalized consultation with Dr. Crofts to explore your options and learn how we can help you feel confident in your body—at every stage of your transformation.
