Cosmetic and plastic are typically more minor outpatient procedures, focused primarily on appearance.
For weight loss medication patients, we know that patients with a significant amount of weight loss will often have a group of surgeries specifically targeting weight loss from the face and neck, sometimes referred to as “Ozempic face.” They include:
Surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tissue from the front a patient’s abdomen, less than 180-degree circumference. Primarily a procedure for weight loss medication patients. If you are someone who has less excess abdominal weight loss but still loose skin, you may be a candidate for minor panniculectomy/tummy tuck.
Procedure that removes excess fat from beneath the skin’s surface. For patients with significant weight loss, it is often combined with other advanced contouring procedures and for patients with less weight loss or weight loss in specific areas, it can be used alone.
Surgical procedure that enlarges the breast using implants or fat transplants. This procedure can help reshape the chest after weight loss and improve excess and hanging skin.
Surgical procedure that raises the breasts by removing excess skin while simultaneously tightening tissues to reshape and support the breasts. This is often performed after successful weight loss for patients with excess skin.
Surgical procedure that reduces the size of skin folds surrounding your urethra and vagina. This is a frequent procedure for patients with dramatic weight loss.
Surgical procedure to improve the shape of the eyelids and vision problems brought about by sagging and excess skin or aging. It is one of the procedures frequently performed to treat “Ozempic face.”
Surgical procedure that involves removal of excess skin and tightening of skin to reduce sagging in the face, jowls, neck. It can be performed in concert with eyelid surgery as a treatment for “Ozempic face”
Surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the neck, tightening the neck to decrease the appearance of sagging after weight loss
Surgical procedure that involves reshaping or restructuring the nose. These procedures can also treat some forms of obstructive sleep apnea.
Surgical procedure to repair and treat deviated septum.
Surgical procedures that involve altering the size, shape, or position of ears.
Treatment for reduction of spider veins, a common problem for post-bariatric surgery and weight loss medical patients.
