Ozempic Face Treatments in Sydney
Technical Explanation of the Phenomenon
Ozempic face treatments in Sydney are designed to address facial volume loss and skin laxity that may occur after significant weight loss. Many patients notice hollowing in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. As a result, the face can appear less supported or more tired than expected.
Importantly, this appearance relates to weight loss itself, not to the face being directly “targeted”. People can experience similar facial volume loss after any major weight reduction, including weight loss from diet changes, bariatric surgery, or weight-loss medicines.
A/Prof Tim Papadopoulos (FRACS) offers a range of treatment options in Sydney to address facial volume loss and skin laxity. During consultation, Dr Tim assesses your anatomy, skin quality and degree of volume change. He then discusses the most appropriate treatment pathway, including risks and realistic expectations. Results vary between individuals.
What Causes “Ozempic Face”?
Facial ageing commonly involves:
-
reduction in facial fat volume
-
soft tissue descent
-
reduced skin elasticity over time
However, significant weight loss can accelerate these changes. Therefore, a patient may notice:
-
hollow cheeks
-
flatter midface contour
-
deeper nasolabial folds (smile lines)
-
under-eye hollowing (tear trough prominence)
-
reduced jawline definition due to skin laxity
For this reason, successful treatment often requires a structural plan, not just a single treatment.
Ozempic Face Treatment Options in Sydney
Dr Tim offers both non-surgical and surgical options depending on severity.
Dermal fillers (selected patients)
Dermal fillers can restore volume in specific areas such as:
-
cheeks
-
temples
-
under-eye hollows (selected patients)
-
jawline contour (selected patients)
Because fillers vary in type and longevity, Dr Tim will discuss suitability and conservative planning during consultation.
Facial fat grafting (fat transfer)
Facial fat grafting uses your own fat to restore volume. Dr Tim harvests fat using liposuction, processes it, and then injects it into areas of volume loss. Therefore, fat transfer can provide structural volume restoration in selected patients.
Fat survival varies, so Dr Tim discusses long-term planning carefully.
Skin tightening treatments (selected patients)
Non-surgical skin tightening treatments may support patients with mild to moderate skin laxity. These treatments aim to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness over time. However, they cannot replicate the tightening achieved with surgery.
Facelift surgery (selected patients)
When skin laxity becomes more pronounced, facelift surgery can reposition facial tissues and improve definition through the lower face and neck. In selected patients, Dr Tim may combine facelift surgery with fat grafting to address both tissue descent and volume loss.
Tailored Planning and Expected Outcomes
Ozempic face treatments aim to restore facial balance and reduce the appearance of hollowing after weight loss. However, outcomes vary between patients. For this reason, Dr Tim develops an individualised plan based on:
-
degree of volume loss
-
skin elasticity
-
facial proportions
-
timeline of weight changes
Suitability for Ozempic face treatments in Sydney is confirmed during consultation.
