Can weight loss from GLP-1s age your face?

Weight loss looks and feels great in most areas of your body, but some people experience a feeling of facial aging following dramatic, rapid weight loss.  Loss of upper face facial fat volume and potentially accompanying skin laxity are primarily what contribute to this, and we can help in several ways. First of all, it's helpful to involve us at the beginning of the weight loss journey, so that we can discuss options for you to choose if and when you're ready. Weight loss, especially when it's rapid is a physiologic stressor and our regenerative treatments (PRF, EZ Gel, Sculptra) can fortify the skin against these stresses, and may best be done early on in the weight loss journey. Additionally strategic volume may be desirable in the upper face when weight loss is complete just to add back a youthful cheek apex, which tends to make the lower face look slimmer as well. Let us know if this affects you!
