If you’ve been hearing about “Ozempic Face” lately, you’re not alone. From NewBeauty features to TikTok trends, everyone’s been talking about how rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, and Mounjaro® can leave the face looking thinner, more hollow, or even prematurely aged.

At The Spiegel Center in Boston, patients often come in celebrating their weight loss success but feeling frustrated by unexpected changes to their facial contours. Fortunately, today’s leading facial plastic surgeons — including Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel and Dr. Jacob Tower — have refined advanced techniques like facial fat grafting and deep plane facelifts to restore natural, balanced beauty.

Why “Ozempic Face” Happens

GLP-1 medications can cause fast, dramatic fat loss — and your face isn’t immune. When the soft fat pads that support youthful features shrink, you might notice:

  • Hollow cheeks or temples
  • Skin laxity around the jawline or neck
  • Deeper smile lines or folds
  • A more tired or aged look overall

It’s not “aging,” it’s volume loss. And while that change can’t be reversed with skincare alone, it can be beautifully corrected by restoring what’s missing.

Facial Fat Grafting: A Natural Solution

Facial fat grafting has become the gold-standard treatment for Ozempic Face at The Spiegel Center. Instead of using synthetic fillers, Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel and Dr. Jacob Tower transfer your own purified fat — often from the abdomen or thighs — to restore youthful volume and contour.

This refined technique allows precise enhancement of the cheeks, temples, jawline, and under-eyes, achieving results that are soft, smooth, and undetectable.

Why Boston patients love fat grafting:

  • It’s your own tissue — natural and biocompatible
  • Results can last for years or even permanently
  • The fat’s regenerative properties improve skin texture and quality
  • It restores youthful fullness while preserving your natural features

Facial fat grafting can also be combined with a facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation — lifting sagging tissue while re-establishing soft, natural contours.

The Deep Plane Facelift Advantage

When volume loss is paired with loose skin, a deep plane facelift can restore lift, structure, and harmony. Unlike older facelift methods that simply pull the skin tighter, a deep plane facelift repositions the deeper layers of the face for longer-lasting, more natural results.

At The Spiegel Center, Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel — recognized globally as one of the best facelift surgeons in Boston and the world — has elevated this technique into an art form. His results are elegant, refined, and never “overdone.”

Dr. Jacob Tower, also a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, brings advanced surgical precision and artistic vision to every case, ensuring each facelift is tailored to the patient’s anatomy and goals.

Together, they offer Boston’s most advanced approach to facelift surgery, fat grafting, and natural facial rejuvenation — delivering results that look effortlessly beautiful and completely undetectable.

Skin Health and Maintenance

To complement structural rejuvenation, The Spiegel Center offers microneedling with VAMP — a collagen-stimulating treatment that improves texture, tone, and firmness. This treatment helps your skin reflect the same vitality as your newly restored facial contours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is “Ozempic Face”?

“Ozempic Face” refers to facial volume loss and skin laxity that occur after rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, or Mounjaro®.

How does facial fat grafting work?

Fat grafting uses your own fat — carefully harvested, purified, and re-injected — to restore facial fullness and contour. It provides soft, natural, and long-lasting rejuvenation.
