After Ozempic / GLP-1

Medications such as Ozempic and other GLP-1 receptor agonists have helped many individuals achieve significant weight loss and make progress toward their health and wellness goals. However, losing a substantial amount of weight can sometimes leave behind loose skin and changes in body contour that diet and exercise alone cannot fully address. Body contouring procedures may help remove excess skin, refine body proportions, and create a smoother, more defined appearance following weight loss. Depending on each patient’s needs, surgical options may include a tummy tuck, body lift, arm lift, thigh lift, or other procedures designed to target specific areas of concern. The appropriate approach depends on factors such as the amount of weight lost, skin elasticity, overall health, and individual aesthetic goals. For patients who have reached a stable weight after GLP-1 treatment, a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon can help determine which procedures may be appropriate to complement their weight-loss results and support their desired outcome.
