At Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue, we understand that weight loss is a deeply personal journey—and for many, medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) have been life-changing tools for achieving transformative results. However, rapid or significant weight loss can also leave behind unexpected aesthetic challenges, from volume loss in the face to loose skin in key areas of the body.
Dr. David Shafer, MD, FACS, a double board-certified plastic surgeon and aesthetic innovator, has pioneered the "Ozempic Makeover"—a highly personalized, restorative approach designed to address the unique cosmetic concerns that can emerge after medical weight loss. Let’s explore how this tailored suite of procedures can help you look as vibrant and healthy as you feel.
Why an Ozempic Makeover?
Ozempic and other GLP-1 receptor agonists are helping patients lose weight safely and sustainably. However, rapid fat reduction can lead to:
- Facial volume loss, resulting in a gaunt or aged appearance.
- Deflation in the breasts, leading to a loss of youthful contour.
- Loose, sagging skin on the arms, abdomen, or thighs, which may not retract naturally.
These physical changes can undermine the confidence that weight loss is meant to restore. The Ozempic Makeover bridges the gap between internal transformation and external harmony. At Shafer Clinic, our multidisciplinary team combines surgical expertise with cutting-edge noninvasive treatments to bring your body back into aesthetic balance.
What Does the Ozempic Makeover Include?
Every Ozempic Makeover is custom-tailored, but commonly includes:
- Facial Rejuvenation: To restore volume and contour lost through fat reduction. This can include fillers, fat grafting, thread lifting, and energy-based skin tightening treatments.
- Skin Tightening and Body Contouring: From tummy tucks to arm lifts and thigh lifts, surgical skin tightening can remove laxity, while devices like EvolveX or Morpheus8 can boost collagen and refine tone.
- Breast Enhancement: Post-weight loss, some patients experience volume loss or ptosis (drooping). Breast lifts, implants, or fat transfer can restore youthful shape and symmetry.
- Metabolic Aesthetics: Unique to Shafer Clinic, we integrate metabolic wellness to support your skin, energy, and healing capacity from the inside out, ensuring lasting results that align with your wellness goals.
