What Comes After Weight Loss
Dr. Ortegon at San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery helps patients in San Antonio understand and treat the changes that can happen after Ozempic weight loss. Medications like Ozempic support patients in losing weight by reducing appetite and food cravings, which can lead to noticeable changes in body shape and facial appearance. If you've lost a lot of weight and want to preserve or enhance your curves, smooth your skin, or bring back facial fullness, our office is here for you in a welcoming, relaxed environment, with expert care at every step.
"Ozempic body" describes changes in your skin and shape that happen after dropping a lot of weight fast with medications like Ozempic. These drugs reduce appetite, slow digestion, and help you lose significant amounts of fat (a process known as fat loss)—but your skin and muscles may not adapt as quickly as you lose fat. These medications are often referred to as weight loss injections and are also known as the "skinny shot" in popular culture.
Weight loss can lead to improved health, increased confidence, and a better quality of life. With the advent of medications like Ozempic, achieving significant weight loss has become more accessible for individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health conditions. These medications help regulate food intake and support metabolic health, making it possible for many to lose weight when other methods have not worked.
However, rapid or substantial weight loss often brings new challenges. Many people experience excess skin, sagging skin, and facial volume loss as their bodies adjust to a smaller size. These changes can affect not only your appearance but also your comfort and self-esteem. That's where body contouring and facial rejuvenation come in.
These treatments address the physical effects of significant weight loss, helping you achieve smoother skin, improved body proportions, and restored facial volume. Whether you're considering Ozempic or have already completed your weight loss journey, understanding your options for body contouring and facial rejuvenation can help you look and feel your best.
After significant weight loss, many individuals find that their skin does not shrink back to fit their new shape, resulting in excess skin and changes in body proportions. Body contouring procedures are specifically designed to address these concerns, helping you achieve a more toned and youthful appearance. Options range from surgical procedures like tummy tucks, thigh lifts, and breast lifts to non-surgical skin tightening treatments that use advanced technology to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity.
The primary goals of body contouring are to remove excess skin, restore lost volume, and enhance your natural body contours. By combining these procedures with a healthy diet and active lifestyle, you can maintain your results and enjoy a more balanced, confident look. In San Antonio, patients have access to a variety of body contouring procedures tailored to their unique needs. Personalized treatment plans ensure that each individual can achieve their desired results, whether they are looking to tighten loose skin, restore lost volume, or improve overall body proportions after weight loss.
