Restore Your Natural Facial Contours After Weight Loss
Facial Restoration After GLP-1 Weight Loss in Sarasota
Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro can leave the body feeling great, but the face often tells a different story. Many people experience hollow cheeks, loose skin, and loss of definition, commonly known as “Ozempic Face.”
What Is Ozempic Face?
“Ozempic Face” is a term used to describe the sunken or aged facial appearance that can develop after rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro. These medications, originally designed to help manage Type 2 diabetes, have become widely used for effective and sustained weight reduction.
While dramatic weight loss can transform the body, it often affects the face first where even a small loss of fat can make a big difference in appearance.
Why GLP-1 Weight Loss Changes the Face
While GLP-1 treatments reshape the body, they also reduce facial fat pads that maintain youthful fullness. When this support disappears, skin can appear lax or tired.
Common concerns include:
- Hollow cheeks and temples
- Sagging around the jawline or midface
- Thinner lips and loss of volume
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- A drawn or aged appearance
Our Sarasota clinic uses medical-grade solutions to restore facial support and elasticity without surgery.
Restoring the Face After GLP-1 Weight Loss
At Injections & Co. in Sarasota, every Sculpt & Lift™ treatment plan is customized to address the specific areas most affected by GLP-1 weight loss. Each example below represents a common concern we successfully restore through precise use of Sculptra, Restylane, and other advanced injectables.
Full-Face Rejuvenation
Rapid weight loss can affect multiple areas of the face at once, leading to hollow cheeks, loss of definition, and overall sagging. In this treatment, we focused on global volume restoration using Sculptra to rebuild collagen and Restylane to softly lift key areas like the temples, cheeks, and jawline. The result is a smoother, balanced, and naturally refreshed appearance that restores harmony to the entire face.
Jawline and Chin Redefinition
The lower face often shows the most noticeable change after weight loss, with drooping along the jawline and a less defined chin. Here, we strategically used filler to rebuild structure and lift the jawline, restoring strength and contour while keeping the results subtle. The outcome is a firmer profile that looks naturally sculpted—not overfilled.
Lip Restoration and Balance
Weight loss can also thin the lips and flatten their shape. In this case, we enhanced the lips using a soft, hydrating filler to restore volume, definition, and symmetry. The lips now complement the refreshed facial structure, providing a youthful balance without altering the patient’s natural features.

Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend waiting until your weight has stabilized for at least 2–3 months before starting treatment. This ensures results are long-lasting and your injector can accurately restore balance without overcorrecting.
The best treatment depends on where facial volume loss has occurred. At Injections & Co. in Sarasota, our Sculpt & Lift™ approach often combines Sculptra to rebuild collagen with Restylane or RHA fillers for immediate lift and definition. Together, they restore natural structure and smooth skin texture.
Collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra continue to improve over several months and can last up to two years or longer. Dermal fillers such as Restylane typically last 9–12 months, depending on the area treated and your metabolism.
