Ozempic Face

Weight loss can change more than just your waistline. For some people on GLP-1 medications, those changes show up unexpectedly in the mirror, especially in the face. A leaner look around the cheeks, jawline, or temples might be part of the process, but when the volume loss feels sudden or severe, it can throw off the balance of your features and make you look older than you feel.
At BEAUTY by BUFORD, we combine advanced techniques in facial rejuvenation with a supportive, real-world approach to plastic surgery and medical weight loss. Dr. Gregory Buford is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience and more than 25,000 procedures performed. Patients trust him for his thoughtful, collaborative approach that puts comfort, safety, and results at the center of every treatment plan.
Ozempic Face is a term people have started using to describe the facial side effects of dramatic weight loss, especially after starting GLP-1 medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide. The rapid reduction in body fat often affects the fat pads in the face, especially in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. When this happens quickly, it can lead to a gaunt or sunken look, sometimes adding years to your appearance.
This isn’t vanity—it’s anatomy. And it’s something you can address with the right plan.
RF Microneedling (Radiofrequency Microneedling) stimulates collagen and tightens skin, making it a good choice for patients whose volume loss is accompanied by skin laxity. At BEAUTY by BUFORD, we use advanced devices like VIVACE Ultra to firm the skin and smooth surface texture without downtime or surgery.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can help restore lost facial volume quickly and with precision. Areas like the mid-face, temples, and jawline respond especially well to strategic filler placement. Dr. Buford uses only premium products and personalized techniques to avoid overfilling and keep results looking natural.
For those looking for a longer-lasting option, facial fat transfer uses your own body fat, typically from the thighs or abdomen, to rebuild facial contours. It’s a two-in-one solution that addresses both facial hollowing and unwanted body fat in one procedure.
If weight loss has also affected your neck and jawline definition, MyEllevate can help. This minimally invasive treatment lifts and sculpts the lower face using a light-guided suture system—no large incisions, no extended downtime. It pairs well with fat transfer or fillers to deliver a more complete facial rejuvenation.
Feel Good About Your Face Again

How We Rebuild Volume and Lift Skin
Most procedures are performed in-office with local anesthesia or topical numbing, depending on the treatment. Here’s a general breakdown:
This treatment takes about 45–60 minutes and uses tiny needles combined with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and firm the skin. It’s a great option for improving skin texture and mild to moderate sagging with very little downtime.
Completed in about 20–30 minutes, dermal fillers use injectable gel-like substances to plump areas that have lost volume, like the cheeks, under-eyes, and around the mouth. Results are immediate, and the recovery is usually limited to mild swelling or bruising.
A slightly longer procedure at roughly 90 minutes, fat transfer involves gentle liposuction from another area of your body, followed by purification and injection of fat cells into areas with facial volume loss. It’s ideal for long-term, natural-looking volume.
This 60–90 minute procedure involves minimal incisions and a unique suture support system to lift and contour the neck and jawline. Performed under local anesthesia or light sedation, it offers results that rival more invasive lifts with less downtime.
When You’ll See Results—and How to Keep Them
Recovery depends on the treatment, but most non-surgical options have little downtime:
You can expect to see early results in a few days, with continued improvement as collagen builds or fillers settle. For longer-lasting outcomes, especially after facial fat grafting, results may last several years.

Most patients feel only mild discomfort thanks to numbing agents. You might feel pressure or tightness, but it’s generally easy to tolerate.
As with all facial plastic surgery or cosmetic treatments, risks include bruising, swelling, or minor infection, though these are rare.
Non-surgical treatments don’t leave scars. MyEllevate leaves tiny marks that usually fade completely.
It varies by procedure, but many patients return to regular activities in a few days. Fat transfer and MyEllevate may need about a week.
