The rise in popularity of weight loss medications like Ozempic and other similar drugs has helped many people achieve their weight loss goals. However, along with the benefits of significant weight loss, some individuals notice unwanted changes in their facial appearance—commonly referred to as “Ozempic Face.” Rapid weight loss can lead to a loss of facial volume, making the face appear gaunt or prematurely aged. At Avance Plastic Surgery in Reno, Dr. Erez Dayan offers advanced facial rejuvenation techniques to restore volume and enhance your facial contours after weight loss.

What is Ozempic Face?

“Ozempic Face” is a term used to describe the loss of facial fullness that occurs after rapid weight loss, particularly in individuals using weight loss medications such as Ozempic or similar GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications, initially designed to treat type 2 diabetes, have become popular for their effectiveness in helping people lose significant amounts of weight. However, rapid fat loss can also result in reduced fat in the face, leading to sagging skin, hollow cheeks, and a more aged appearance.

How Rapid Weight Loss Affects Facial Appearance

When you lose weight quickly, your body sheds fat from all areas, including the face. This can lead to several noticeable changes in your facial appearance:

Loss of volume in the cheeks: Full, youthful cheeks often become sunken or hollow after rapid weight loss.
Sagging skin: The skin may lose its elasticity and start to sag, particularly around the jawline and neck.
Deepened wrinkles: Reduced fat in the face can make lines and wrinkles more pronounced, especially around the mouth and eyes.

According to a study published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, facial fat plays a key role in maintaining a youthful appearance. When this fat is lost, it can result in a skeletal or aged look, which is why many people turn to plastic surgery to restore their facial contours after weight loss.

Facial Rejuvenation Options After Weight Loss

If you’ve noticed changes in your face after significant weight loss, there are several facial rejuvenation options available at Avance Plastic Surgery in Reno to help restore your youthful appearance. Dr. Erez Dayan, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial aesthetic procedures, offers tailored solutions to address the unique concerns of each patient.

1. Dermal Fillers for Volume Restoration

One of the most common and effective treatments for “Ozempic Face” is the use of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based injectables, can restore lost volume in the cheeks, under the eyes, and around the mouth. These fillers add subtle volume and smooth out deep lines, creating a more youthful and refreshed look without the need for surgery.

Dr. Dayan specializes in the strategic placement of dermal fillers to achieve natural-looking results, ensuring that the face appears fuller and more vibrant while maintaining balance with the rest of the body.

2. Fat Grafting

For patients seeking a more long-term solution, fat grafting (also known as fat transfer) is an excellent option. This procedure involves harvesting fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and re-injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume. Fat grafting provides natural, long-lasting results and can restore a more youthful contour to the face.

A study in Aesthetic Surgery Journal found that fat grafting not only restores volume but also improves skin texture and elasticity due to the regenerative properties of fat cells. This makes it a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation after weight loss.

3. Facelift Surgery

For those with significant sagging skin or deep wrinkles that fillers or fat grafting cannot address alone, a facelift may be the ideal option. A facelift tightens loose skin, removes excess fat, and repositions facial tissues to create a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dr. Dayan performs both traditional and mini-facelifts, depending on the patient’s specific needs, providing dramatic yet natural results.

4. Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

For individuals who prefer non-surgical solutions, skin tightening treatments such as laser therapy or radiofrequency treatments can be effective in improving skin elasticity. These treatments stimulate collagen production, helping to firm and tighten the skin. While the results may not be as dramatic as surgery, they can offer a noticeable improvement without downtime.

Hands down the most qualified, honest and knowledgeable plastic surgeon in Northern Nevada. Dr. Dayan and his staff are truly committed to offering leading edge technology, quality and professionalism to each and every treatment ranging from to simple non invasive injections to complicated procedures. What he and his team have to offer always seems too good to be true, but they always over exceed expectations and are incredibly budget conscientious. The Reno-Tahoe area is incredibly fortunate to welcome such a skilled and qualified aesthetic professional into the area!

Dr. Dayan is the surgeon clients should interview with and choose for their procedures. I am always very cautious when deciding important life decisions and I can say without a doubt that I would go through my surgeries again with Dr. Dayan. Every appointment has been professional, courteous, informative, and truthful. I never felt rushed. I also appreciate knowing my privacy is maintained. My fear of pain is very respected, and his demeanor eases it quite a bit. I made my decision to trust Dr. Dayan because of his extensive education, vast experience, and my first-hand witness of his character. These factors have allowed me to look forward to all of my appointments.

I had three consultations and didn't make any decisions lightly, but Dr. Dayan blew the competition out of the water. From the moment I met him during my consultation, he was honest and open while also personable. He also insisted on putting me in touch with previous patients before I made my decision so that I could have a better understanding of the process and recovery as a whole. I ultimately picked him because I knew he would do a good job but also because I felt at ease with him. The day of surgery, I was very nervous and he was comforting while efficient with his time. He was also completely honest with me during my recovery and called either myself or my husband often to make sure I was doing well, but also to make sure my husband understood the process completely. He also makes himself so available for any little questions or concerns I've had, making me feel secure in knowing he's only a phone call or a text away. Although I am not yet completely healed (only 3 weeks post-op) I already feel so confident in the work that has been done. He has helped me to transform something that had me so insecure for such a long time into a body I feel comfortable in. I cannot wait for the final results! I won't hesitate to return to Dr. Dayan for anything else I need done. Between him and his office staff (Alli) I feel like more of a member of the Avance family rather than a patient!

I highly encourage anyone who is considering plastic/reconstruction surgery to schedule a consultation with Dr. Dayan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and outcome from my breast augmentation. At my consultations, not only did I get my questions thoroughly answered, but I was treated with such genuine kindness and patience. Dr. Dayan is professional, highly knowledgeable, honest and has a certain way of connecting with others. For these reasons, I trusted him and felt supported throughout my whole breast augmentation experience from pre- to post-surgery care. All around, I felt safe and informed about this big decision/investment which is all I could ever ask for. I recovered so much easier than I expected, and my breasts are looking perfect and natural! Dr. Dayan definitely listened to what I wanted and followed through. Lastly, I want to mention how sweet and supportive his team is over at Avance! I am very appreciative of their service.

My results after a "noninvasive" procedure are amazing. The cutting-edge techniques and noninvasive technology that Dr. Dayan incorporates into his procedures, as well as being a gifted and talented surgeon and individual, all contribute to his many accomplishments. However, I personally am impressed with his abilities to listen, communicate, and create beautiful results. I highly recommend a consultation with Dr. Dayan before making a final decision on any kind of procedure. Just another satisfied patient!

I had a perfect experience at Avance. Dr. Dayan was quick, professional, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was comfortable during the short procedure I needed done. His demeanor was calming and I was able to put full trust in his abilities from start to finish. Erez really knows his stuff, and it's amazing he's here in Reno when he could clearly be somewhere much bigger if he wanted. I definitely won't hesitate to book again if needed.

Absolutely an amazing experience! Where to start? When I first thought of getting a mommy makeover my expectations were not that high because I didn’t ever think I could look the way I wanted to. I always just hoped it would be an improvement and I would be happy with that. Then I met Dr. Dayan. From the first consultation he made me realize that he could give me beautiful results that I didn’t know were possible. He was so kind and confident and I knew from that moment that he was going to be my surgeon. I booked my surgery (a breast augmentation with implants and a tummy tuck with lipo) that day and it was the best choice I have ever made. Before my procedure he was very thorough and explained step by step what he was going to do which made me feel so comfortable. I actually wasn’t nervous at all. I was so excited! I am now 1 month post op and my results are above and beyond what I could have ever dreamed my body could look like after a mommy makeover. Dr. Dayan did an exceptional job. I am not completely healed and I already am so pleased. There are no words that can do justice to how amazing it is to put trust in someone with my body and wake up with results that are better than I could have ever imagined. He truly is skilled in his profession and has the eye for what is best for your body to give you the best results. He followed up with me several times post op to see how I was feeling. If I had any concerns or questions he responded to them quickly and personally which made me feel confident that everything was going well! His care is exceptional from beginning to end. He has an amazing staff as well. His Patient coordinator Ali is so sweet and helpful. She is amazing with communication as well as helping you with financial options and scheduling. You won’t be disappointed working with Dr. Dayan and Ali!

I cannot say enough about his work - he is incredibly talented and I am confident under his care. Of course the results are amazing! I love my LIPS!
