“Ozempic Face” and “Mounjaro Face”: Why It Happens and How to Treat It Safely
Understanding “Ozempic Face” and “Mounjaro Face”
With the increasing popularity of medical weight loss treatments like Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide), many people are celebrating dramatic results. However, one side effect that’s becoming more talked about is “Ozempic face” or “Mounjaro face”- a term describing facial sagging, hollowing, and skin laxity that can occur after rapid weight loss.
When weight is lost quickly, fat stores beneath the skin-including in the cheeks, temples, and jawline-naturally shrink. This loss of volume, combined with age-related collagen decline, can lead to:
Hollow cheeks and temples
More visible wrinkles
Loose or sagging skin
A tired or drawn appearance
While this change can be distressing, it’s treatable with a personalised approach designed to restore natural volume, firmness, and glow.
How We Treat Ozempic Face and Mounjaro Face
We specialise in subtle, restorative rejuvenation-enhancing natural beauty while maintaining balance and proportion.
Here are the most effective treatments to reverse facial ageing after weight loss:
- Volume Restoration with Dermal Fillers by TeoxaneTM When fat pads shrink, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be used to replace lost volume and lift key areas such as the cheeks and nasolabial area. Benefits include:
- Restored structure and contour
- Smoother facial folds
- A more youthful, refreshed appearance
- ProfhiloTM for Skin Firmness and Glow Profhilo is a revolutionary bio-remodelling treatment that deeply hydrates and tightens the skin without adding volume. It works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, improving elasticity and radiance. Profhilo is ideal for:
- Crepey or lax skin after weight loss
- Dull, dehydrated complexions
- Restoring firmness and luminosity
- Polynucleotides-PlinestTM for Skin Regeneration Polynucleotides are cutting-edge, regenerative injectables made from purified DNA fragments that repair and rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. They:
- Boost fibroblast activity (collagen-producing cells)
- Improve elasticity and density
- Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation
- Microneedling with SkinPenTMfor Collagen Induction Microneedling uses fine needles to create microchannels in the skin, triggering natural healing and new collagen formation. It helps:
- Tighten and firm skin
- Smooth fine lines and pores
- Improve tone and texture
- Combination Treatments for the Best Results The most natural rejuvenation usually comes from a customised combination of treatments tailored to your skin, facial anatomy, and goals. We can design a bespoke plan to restore your facial balance- achieving a refreshed, harmonious result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly causes “Ozempic face”?
Rapid weight loss causes fat loss not just in the body but also in the face. When facial fat pads deflate, skin can appear loose and hollow. Age-related collagen loss can make this more noticeable.
How soon after weight loss can I treat Ozempic face?
It’s usually best to wait until your weight has stabilised for at least a few months before undergoing treatment. This ensures your results are long-lasting and balanced.
Are these treatments safe?
Yes-when performed by a qualified medical professional.
All treatments are performed by Dr Steedman herself, a highly experienced aesthetic doctor using only evidence-based products and techniques.
Will I look “overfilled”?
Absolutely not. Our philosophy is natural rejuvenation, not exaggeration. The goal is to help you look like yourself-just fresher, firmer, and more radiant.
How long do results last?
- Dermal fillers: 9-18 months depending on product and area
- Profhilo: 6-12 months after the initial course
- Polynucleotides: build gradual, long-term improvement with maintenance every 6-12 months
- Microneedling: a course of 3-6 sessions provides lasting collagen stimulation but longer term maintenance is recommended
Can I combine Profhilo and Polynucleotides?
Is there any downtime?
Most treatments involve minimal downtime-you may notice mild redness or swelling for 24-48 hours. Makeup can usually be applied the next day.
