Dr. Ronald Schuster, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Baltimore, has seen this shift firsthand. With decades of experience in facial surgery, Dr. Schuster uses facelift techniques that go beyond the surface to bring back healthy-looking fullness where it’s been lost. With his help, you can feel even more satisfied with your weight loss results.
Why Ozempic Weight Loss Affects the Face
Semaglutide medications like Ozempic work by regulating appetite and helping the body burn fat. While the weight loss is often life-changing, it doesn’t discriminate between areas you want to slim down and those you don’t. The face, especially the cheeks, temples, and jawline, loses volume just like the rest of the body.
Facial fat is part of what makes us look youthful. It cushions the skin and supports smooth contours. When that support disappears, the skin can start to sag. For some, this means gaunt cheeks, deepened nasolabial folds, or loose skin along the neck and jaw.
How Facelift Surgery Can Help
Facelift surgery helps improve the visible changes that can happen after significant weight loss. Dr. Schuster’s Deep Plane Facelift technique works beneath the surface, adjusting the deeper layers that give the face its lift and structure. By repositioning these areas (not just tightening the skin), he’s able to bring more support to the cheeks and create cleaner lines along the neck and jaw. The goal is to help your appearance match the way you feel inside.
