Ozempic Belly
in Denver, CO
in Denver, CO
Ozempic Belly happens when folks using Ozempic (semaglutide) lose a lot of weight—sometimes significant weight loss brings a flat tummy, but in some cases, the skin doesn’t bounce back. That extra skin or slight sag around the belly can feel like the final hurdle in a weight loss journey. Treatment helps contour and tighten so your body looks as good as it feels. It’s the confidence boost that Ozempic Belly Denver patients deserve after sticking to a healthy diet, exercise, and weight loss treatment plan.
At BEAUTY by BUFORD, Dr. Gregory Buford brings more than 25 years of experience and has performed over 25,000 procedures—so he knows how bodies change and what it takes to help them adjust. As a nationally recognized, board‑certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Buford builds treatment plans around your individual medical history and goals, whether it’s reducing loose skin from Ozempic body changes or fine‑tuning sagging skin after massive weight loss. Patients say they feel supported from start to finish, not just treated.
Ozempic Belly refers to the loose skin or extra tissue that sometimes hangs around the abdomen after long‑term use of Ozempic. Ozempic is part of the GLP‑1 family—naturally produced molecules that help regulate appetite, insulin release, and glycemic control. Patients love the appetite control, lower blood sugar levels, and ease of weekly semaglutide injections. But when everything is going well, and you hit your goal weight, the body adjusts—and sometimes that means skin doesn’t shrink at the same pace as fat volume.
Ozempic Belly isn’t about weight gain or abdominal pain—it’s about what comes after rapid weight loss. Picture sagging skin around your waist or loose skin across the tummy that hides muscle tone or definition after patients lose weight. That’s where cosmetic treatments, surgical and nonsurgical, come in. These options are especially helpful for patients who’ve achieved noticeable weight loss but still don’t feel their best.
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is the gold standard for removing loose skin after Ozempic‑induced weight loss. At Beauty by Buford, the procedure includes removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles, giving you a smoother, flatter contour. Surgical techniques vary, from full tummy tuck to mini tummy tuck, depending on where the sagging skin is. Incisions are carefully placed, scars are discreet, and with proper post‑surgery care, recovery is managed effectively.
Besides improving body contouring, a tummy tuck enhances overall health, including better posture, less back pain, and core support, especially after your body has gone through metabolic disorders or lifestyle changes like regular exercise combined with Ozempic.

Fixing the Flab
A tummy tuck at Beauty by Buford is performed under general anesthesia in our state‑of‑the‑art facility. Here’s how it goes:
Procedure time varies, usually 2–3 hours for a full tummy tuck, less for a mini tuck. You’ll wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support healing.
Results start showing as soon as swelling goes down. In most cases, you’ll notice a firmer belly in 2–4 weeks. Full results typically show up at 3–6 months, when sagging skin is gone, and muscle tone has caught up.
