If you’re considering facial fat transfer, you may have heard about the potential benefits it can offer. Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injection, is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves removing fat from one part of your body and injecting it into another, such as the face. When it comes to rejuvenating the face, fat transfer at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery, LLC, can be a game-changer, especially for those who are seeking a more youthful and natural appearance.
What Is Ozempic Face?
Now, you may be wondering about the connection between facial fat transfer and Ozempic®. Ozempic is a prescription medicine used in adults with type 2 diabetes and can also be used in combination with other diabetes medications such as metformin. However, there has been some buzz about the potential benefits of Ozempic for weight management and its impact on facial fat composition.
“Ozempic face” is a term for common side effects of the type 2 diabetes medication Semaglutide (Ozempic). It can cause sagging and aging of facial skin. While Ozempic is safe to use with a doctor’s recommendation, it can cause rapid weight loss that is often more pronounced on the face.
A Facial Fat Transfer Adds Volume
Facial fat transfer involves the transfer of fat from one part of the body to another. The procedure begins with the extraction of fat from a donor site on the body, commonly the abdomen, thighs or flanks, through a gentle liposuction process. The harvested fat is then purified and prepared before being meticulously injected into targeted areas of the face. Since fat transfer uses your body’s own natural tissue, it is considered a safe and effective way to restore volume, contour and rejuvenate the face.
One of the key benefits of facial fat transfer is its ability to address volume loss in the face, which occurs as a natural part of the aging process. As we age, our facial fat pads diminish, leading to sagging, hollowed cheeks, and deepened facial creases.
Weight loss with Ozempic can cause dermatological changes and shrinking because the fat that stretches and cushions the skin is no longer in place. The skin of the face also loses its ability to retract after an episode of rapid weight loss due to reduced levels of elastin and collagen, which are essential for structural integrity.
