Reclaim Your Confidence After Weight Loss
At San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery, we understand that significant weight loss, including from medications like semaglutide, can leave you with unexpected changes in breast shape and volume. Commonly referred to as "Ozempic Breast," this condition can impact both appearance and self-confidence. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Delio Ortegon, our San Antonio team offers advanced solutions to restore natural shape, volume, and contour through personalized surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
"Ozempic Breast" refers to the deflation, sagging, or loss of volume in the breasts following rapid or substantial weight loss, particularly from GLP-1 medications like semaglutide. As semaglutide stimulates insulin secretion and helps reduce appetite, it supports promoting weight loss and improving weight related health conditions like diabetes management, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. However, when patients lose weight quickly, the drop in fat volume, including in the breast tissue, can result in sagging skin, breast ptosis, and lost volume in the upper pole of the breast.
This aesthetic concern is especially common in women who began their weight loss journey with a higher starting body weight or body mass index, or those who have lost a large percentage of body weight through weight loss injections, semaglutide treatment, or other methods. The skin loses structural support due to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, leading to visible changes in breast shape and firmness.
At San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery, we take a comprehensive, individualized approach to treating Ozempic Breast. Dr. Ortegon develops a personalized treatment plan based on your medical history, aesthetic goals, skin quality, and lifestyle. Treatments often include:
For many patients, these surgical procedures can be combined with body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, skin tightening, or liposuction to address loose skin and stubborn fat in other areas after massive weight loss.
Correcting Ozempic Breast can restore balance to your figure and improve overall comfort and confidence.
For patients who have worked hard to lose weight and improve their overall health, these procedures offer a way to fully celebrate and reflect their progress.
You may be a candidate for treatment if you:
Patients who received semaglutide treatment and developed symptoms like Ozempic Breast or Ozempic Butt often benefit from a combined body contouring approach to address all areas affected by rapid weight loss.
Your personal consultation at San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery is a chance to fully understand your options and get expert recommendations tailored to your goals. Dr. Ortegon will evaluate:
He will also review any concerns with semaglutide injections, such as missed doses or side effects like severe hypoglycemia. Our team prioritizes safety and transparency at every step. We may request labs, imaging, or medical clearance before scheduling a surgical procedure.
The treatment process will vary depending on your needs. For most patients, procedures are performed under general anesthesia in our certified surgical suite. A breast lift typically involves:
If adding volume, breast augmentation or fat grafting is done simultaneously. Total procedure time ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours. For those undergoing body contouring procedures, additional time is needed.
Following surgery, most patients return to light activity within 1-2 weeks, with full recovery by 4-6 weeks. A surgical bra will be provided for support and to assist with swelling control. Dr. Ortegon will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.
Results appear gradually as swelling subsides. Most patients see final results by 3 months post-op, revealing lifted, fuller, and youthful breasts that better match your new body.
