With all the buzz about semaglutide and similar weight loss medications, it’s no surprise that two related phrases, “Ozempic face”’ and “Ozempic butt,” are going viral. As semaglutide continues to soar in popularity, some people find that shedding unwanted weight is accompanied by an unflattering side effect: loose, sagging skin—especially around the face and buttocks.
Fortunately, various surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic options help you complete your weight loss journey and achieve your ultimate aesthetic goals. If you’re wondering how to fix Ozempic face and butt or how to address loose skin in other areas of the body after weight loss, keep reading to learn more about treatments and solutions that can accomplish your needs.
What Is Ozempic Butt and Face?
“Ozempic butt” refers to sagging skin and deflated buttocks after significant weight loss. Similarly, “Ozempic face” is the trendy term for hollowed, aged facial features caused by major weight loss.
Why does this happen? After rapid weight loss, reduced collagen and elastin levels limit your skin’s ability to “bounce back.” Patients who want to address semaglutide side effects like sunken, lax skin on the face and buttocks can choose from various cosmetic procedures to achieve firmer, more supple skin.
Ways To Treat Ozempic Face
A facelift is an effective surgical method for tightening sagging skin and restoring a healthy, youthful appearance. I perform various surgical facelift techniques based on the amount of correction required, but all can give you refreshed, natural-looking results.
For patients who want to tighten and firm “semaglutide face” without incisions or scarring, we offer a variety of minimally invasive alternative treatments:
- FaceTite tightens your skin by delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy to targeted areas.
- Morpheus8® microneedling addresses skin laxity and aging symptoms, especially when combined with FaceTite.
- Renuvion® skin tightening combines helium plasma with RF energy to firm sagging skin.
- Dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Sculptra® trigger collagen production, volumize facial features, and restore your skin’s youthful appearance.
Treatments for Ozempic Butt
Body contouring procedures can boost a deflated Ozempic butt after weight loss. During your personalized consultation, we’ll discuss whether you are a good candidate for the following procedures:
- Lower body lift surgically addresses and dramatically transforms saggy skin in the lower body (also called a belt lipectomy).
- Butt lift specifically targets and tightens loose, saggy skin in the buttocks region.
What is the non-surgical treatment for ‘Ozempic buttocks?’ Some of our favorite options include:
- EMSCULPT Neo® uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to strengthen muscles and reduce fat.
- Forever Body™ BBL leverages laser energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production to enhance the skin’s appearance.

I also typically recommend procedures such as tummy tuck surgery, VASER® liposuction, and Aveli™ cellulite treatment for patients who want to further slim, tone, and confidently show off their weight loss results. A full body lift offers comprehensive body contouring after weight loss for patients who want to sculpt their buttocks, abdomen, arms, thighs, and more.
How To Prevent Sagging Skin on Semaglutide
While semaglutide can help with significant weight loss, the speed and amount of fat reduction may leave some people with loose or sagging skin—especially if you are losing more than 2-3 pounds a week. Some ways to prevent this skin laxity includes:
- Building muscle mass through strength training to provide more structure under the skin.
- Staying well-hydrated to maintain skin elasticity.
- Eating a nutrient-rich diet with enough protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants to support collagen production.
- Using medical-grade skincare with retinol, peptides, and growth factors to improve firmness.
Even with prevention, some looseness can occur, so ongoing skin health maintenance is important.
