Ozempic Face Treatments

Why Faces Change After Weight Loss

Ozempic Face Treatments in Toronto

The use of GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy has made healthy, lasting weight loss possible for many people. But while the body gets slimmer, the face can sometimes tell a different story.

As facial fat melts away, the skin may not snap back the same way. Patients often notice hollow cheeks, sagging around the jawline, and a more tired or aged look. This has become known as “Ozempic face.”

At the Toronto Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Asif Pirani, a board-certified plastic surgeon and Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Canada (FRCS), specializes in restoring balance and vitality to the face after weight loss through a combination of surgical and non-surgical techniques.

What is an Ozempic Face Treatment?

An Ozempic face treatment is not a single procedure but rather a customized facial rejuvenation plan to address the specific aesthetic changes that can occur after rapid or significant weight loss from GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic. These changes can include volume depletion in the cheeks and temples, loose skin along the jawline and neck, and the development of fine lines and creases as facial support structures weaken.

Dr. Pirani’s approach focuses on restoring lost volume, tightening lax skin, and improving skin texture to create a refreshed, youthful, and proportionate appearance. Depending on your individual anatomy and goals, this may include surgical treatments such as a facelift, facial fat grafting, or a neck lift, as well as non-surgical options such as fractional CO2 laser resurfacing and RF microneedling. The goal is to reverse the tired or gaunt appearance that can accompany dramatic weight loss while maintaining the healthy, vibrant look that reflects your overall transformation.

Surgical Options

  • Facelift: A facelift remains one of the most comprehensive solutions for addressing sagging skin, jowls, and deep facial folds that can develop after significant weight loss. During a facelift, Dr. Pirani repositions underlying facial tissues, tightens the deeper support layers, and removes excess skin to restore smoother, more youthful contours. 
  • Facial Fat Grafting: An ideal option for patients who have lost facial volume and wish to restore fullness naturally with their own fat. During this procedure, a small amount of fat is harvested from another area of the body, purified, and then injected into areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows. This restores lost volume and smooths facial contours, while also improving skin texture over time through the regenerative properties of fat-derived stem cells. 
  • Neck Lift: A neck lift complements facial rejuvenation by tightening and refining the lower face and jawline, areas that are especially prone to laxity following weight loss. Dr. Pirani removes excess skin, repositions deeper tissues, and defines the angle between the chin and neck for a smoother, firmer profile. This procedure is often performed alongside a facelift to achieve a complete, cohesive transformation. Patients frequently report that the neck lift restores youthful definition and improves the “turkey neck” effect that can accompany rapid slimming.

Non-Surgical Options

  • eCO2 Fractional CO2 Laser: The eCO2 Fractional CO2 Laser stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin’s surface for improved elasticity and tone. After weight loss, patients may notice that their skin appears dull, crepey, or uneven in texture. This laser treatment uses controlled thermal energy to resurface damaged outer layers and rejuvenate deeper dermal tissues, softening fine lines, improving firmness, and reducing the appearance of loose or thin skin. 
  • RF Microneedling: RF microneedling is another non-surgical treatment designed to improve skin tone, elasticity, and texture by combining the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, while radiofrequency waves deliver heat deep into the dermis to contract collagen fibers and encourage the formation of new collagen and elastin. This dual approach is especially effective for tightening mild skin laxity and refining overall texture.

 

What Are the Benefits of an Ozempic Face Treatment?

Patients undergoing an Ozempic face treatment can expect a range of aesthetic and emotional benefits, including:

  • Restoration of lost facial volume for smoother, more youthful contours
  • Tighter, firmer skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck
  • Improved skin quality, tone, and texture
  • Reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and hollowness
  • Enhanced facial balance and proportion following weight loss
  • A refreshed, naturally rejuvenated appearance that reflects your healthier lifestyle

Who Are the Best Candidates For an Ozempic Face Treatment?

The best candidates for an Ozempic face treatment are individuals who have achieved stable weight loss with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro and have noticed visible changes in their facial appearance. Ideal candidates in Toronto may experience sagging skin, hollow cheeks, deepened folds, or an aged appearance due to the loss of facial fat.

Candidates should:

  • Be in good overall health and at a stable weight
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of treatment
  • Desire a refreshed and natural look rather than an artificial or overly tight appearance
  • Be open to a personalized plan that may combine surgical and non-surgical procedures

What’s the
First step?

Dr. Pirani will listen carefully to your concerns, review your medical and weight loss history, and conduct a thorough facial analysis during a comprehensive consultation at the Toronto Plastic Surgery Center. Based on your anatomy, degree of skin laxity, and personal goals, he will make a plan that may include one or more of the treatments listed above. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss realistic expectations for your recovery and results.

What to Expect on the Day of an Ozempic Face Treatment

Your treatment experience will depend on the specific procedures you choose. For surgical procedures such as a facelift or neck lift, your surgery will be performed under anesthesia in a fully accredited surgical facility in Toronto. Non-surgical treatments like laser resurfacing or RF microneedling are performed in-office using topical numbing and take about 30–60 minutes per session.

Ozempic Face Treatment Recovery

Recovery times will vary based on the treatment plan. Surgical rejuvenation procedures may require one to two weeks of downtime, during which patients experience mild swelling, tightness, or bruising. Most patients return to normal activities within two weeks, with results continuing to refine over several months.

For non-surgical options like fractional CO2 laser or RF microneedling, downtime is minimal;  typically, a few days of mild redness or flaking as the skin heals and regenerates. Over time, collagen remodeling and tissue tightening will enhance your results, offering smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

  • BOTOX Treatment

    I recently had the pleasure of receiving a Botox treatment from Jasmine, a skilled and professional nurse, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment I arrived, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. Jasmine is incredibly gentle and thorough, ensuring that I was fully informed and relaxed throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and precision gave me confidence in her expertise, and the results were exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend Jasmine to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and skilled provider.

  • Highly Reccomend

    I have been seeing Dr. Pirani for a couple years now for fillers and I cannot come up with any complaints. It’s always a pleasant experience when I go to his office from the results of the fillers, to my follow up appointments and finally to the interactions I have with his front desk staff. I also had a laser skin treatment done that I unfortunately suffered an allergic reaction to and his office followed up with me everyday until I recovered! I highly recommend seeing Dr. Pirani if you are interested in fillers. He is professional, knowledgeable and doesn’t upsell you on something that is unrealistic.
