Ozempic Face: How Dermal Fillers Can Restore and Rejuvenate Lost Facial Volume

Ozempic, originally developed to manage type 2 diabetes, has gained widespread popularity as a weight loss aid. But with its rapid rise in use, a new aesthetic concern has emerged: the so-called "Ozempic Face."


If you’ve noticed hollow cheeks, sagging skin, or a more tired appearance after weight loss with Ozempic (or other GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Mounjaro), you’re not alone. Fortunately, dermal fillers offer a highly effective, non-surgical solution to help restore lost volume and rejuvenate the face.


What Is Ozempic Face?

Ozempic Face is a term coined to describe the facial volume loss that can occur when individuals lose a significant amount of weight, especially quickly.


While weight loss is a great, it can sometimes leave the face looking gaunt, sunken, or aged. This happens because:

  • Facial fat pads which give the face its youthfulness start to shrink.

  • There is loss of collagen and elastin in the skin.

  • The skin may begin to sag, especially in the cheeks, temples, and jawline.


The result? A more hollow, tired, or older appearance, even in younger patients.



Why Does Ozempic Cause Facial Volume Loss?


Ozempic (semaglutide) works by slowing digestion, reducing appetite, and promoting weight loss. As the body sheds fat, it doesn’t discriminate fat is lost from all over, including the subcutaneous fat pads in the face.

These fat pads are responsible for the plumpness and support of youthful facial features.


Weight loss of any kind can cause this, but with Ozempic's rapid and dramatic results, the changes to the face can appear more quickly and more noticeably.



How Dermal Fillers Can Help with Ozempic Face


The good news is that the volume lost from Ozempic Face can be effectively treated using dermal fillers.


These injectable treatments are designed to:

  • Restore lost volume

  • Lift and contour sagging areas

  • Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

  • Rejuvenate the overall facial appearance


What Are Dermal Fillers Made Of?


Most dermal fillers used to treat Ozempic Face are made of hyaluronic acid (HA) a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and adds volume.

Popular brands include Juvederm, Restylane, and Teoxane. For deeper volume restoration, longer-lasting fillers like Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) or Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) may be used.


Targeted Treatment Areas for Ozempic Face


When treating Ozempic Face with dermal fillers, our experienced injector at Georgie’s aesthetics will typically focus on the following areas:


1. Midface and Cheeks

Loss of fat in the malar fat pads leads to sunken cheeks and a tired look, as it’s effecting the under eye area. Filler here can restore youthful contours and support to the mid face.


2. Temples

Hollow temples can age the face significantly. Filling this area can soften the transition between the forehead and cheek.


3. Under-Eye Area (Tear Troughs)

Weight loss can make dark circles and hollowing under the eyes more prominent. A delicate filler in this area can refresh and brighten the eyes. Must be treated with the mid face and cheeks.


4. Jowls and Marionette Lines

As facial fat diminishes, deeper folds around the mouth and pre-jowls can become more noticeable. Fillers can lift and add definition to help the sagging.


5. Buccal Filler

A sharper, more gaunt jawline can be softened and rebalanced with strategic filler placement in the buccal area. This will harmonise your face.

How Long Do Results Last?


Results vary depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism, but typically:

  • Hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 to 18 months

  • Biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra or Radiesse can last up to 2 years

Many patients opt for maintenance treatments to sustain their results over time.


Is It Safe to Get Fillers While on Ozempic?

Yes, dermal fillers are generally safe for individuals using Ozempic or other GLP-1 medications. However, your aesthetic practitioner will:

  • Take a full medical history

  • Ensure your weight has stabilized (to avoid chasing ongoing fat loss)

  • Develop a phased treatment plan if volume loss is significant


Before & After: What to Expect

Many patients report an immediate improvement in facial symmetry and softness after treatment. Full results are usually visible within 1-2 weeks, once any swelling has subsided.

A skilled injector will aim for a natural, refreshed look not overfilled or artificial. The goal is to help you look like the best version of yourself, not like someone else.



Key Takeaway: You Can Reclaim a Youthful, Radiant Look

While Ozempic and similar medications can help you achieve your body goals, the facial side effects can be distressing. Dermal fillers offer a safe, effective way to reverse Ozempic Face, restoring lost volume and rejuvenating your features without surgery.
