Lynch Plastic Surgery
Recognized as one of the Best Face / Necklift Surgeons In Maryland, Sheilah A. Lynch, MD specializes in Ozempic Face Correction and has been awarded TOP DOCTOR for many years in both the Washingtonian & Bethesda Magazines.
Correcting Ozempic face has several options, both surgical and non-surgical, to reduce facial and neck sagging. “For many of my patients experiencing the loss of facial fullness and skin sagging from Ozempic, we can offer a combination of treatments to help restore their face and neck appearance,” says Facial expert surgeon, Dr. Sheilah A. Lynch. Non-surgical options can temporarily restore your facial fullness, while surgical procedures will have a more dramatic, long-term effect, involving tightening the skin, adding back facial fat, and contouring the shape of your face and neck.
The sudden popularity of weight loss medications like Ozempic, Tirzepitide and other similar drugs have helped many patients achieve their weight loss goals. Along with the benefits of significant weight loss, some patients notice unwanted changes in their facial appearance—better known as “Ozempic Face.”
Rapid weight loss can create a loss of facial fat, making your face appear gaunt or prematurely aged. Dr. Lynch offers advanced facial techniques to restore and enhance your facial features after your weight loss.
The term OZEMPIC FACE refers to the changes in your facial / neck appearance that happen after rapid weight loss, especially when using medications such as Ozempic (semaglutide).
Ozempic face happens due to rapid facial fat loss, as sudden subcutaneous fat loss quickly reduces the face's fullness, making the skin less elastic and more prone to sagging, lines, and accelerated aging.
"Ozempic face" describes the hollow or sunken look resulting from the loss of facial fat, which makes the face /neck appear prematurely aged. The loss of fat, combined with skin laxity, leads to a gaunt appearance that many patients then ask, "Can Ozempic Face Be Reversed?"

Ozempic face occurs when rapid weight loss causes sunken cheeks, hollow temples, a change in skin texture, and a gaunt overall appearance. The skin on the face and neck appears loose and saggy around the eyes and jawline due to the rapid reduction in facial fat.
This loss of fullness or volume also deepens fine lines and wrinkles, making the person look older than their actual age as well as unhealthy.
Symptoms include gauntness, sunken cheeks, wrinkles, and loose skin on the face and neck.
Actually, Ozempic face isn’t always a side effect of taking the medication; it's the result of rapid weight loss.
Ozempic face is not a medical term; it is also not limited to taking Ozempic. Other weight loss medications and surgeries can have the same effect.
Facial changes can also happen after having bariatric surgery; however, they’re often associated with weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide.
Unfortunately, it does not. While loose skin may tighten slightly over time, most patients will not see significant improvement without professional help.
For noticeable, effective, and long-lasting results, procedures such as cosmetic fillers, skin tightening and removal, face- neck lifts, and/or fat transfers back to the face are necessary.
During rapid weight loss, the fat pads in your face shrink due to weight-loss medication. You may notice your cheeks sinking, the facial folds running from your nose to your mouth deepening as lines begin to show, the temples looking hollow, and jowls can start to appear.
Because there is no fat to fill or prop the skin up, the skin starts to droop, causing the face to look older. To fix these issues, Dr. Lynch uses several treatments to restore the lost facial and neck support.
Some Non-Surgical Options We Offer Are:
Surgical Options Can Include:
Fat Grafting - Fat Transfer: After rapid weight loss, effects can appear on your lower face & neck. As your facial skin stretches, the jawline loses its straight contour, and facial lines appear between the nose and mouth. The most noticeable is the skin around the neck losing its elasticity and excess folds forming.
For major facial volume loss, fat grafting offers a longer term solution. When your own fat is injected into the depleted areas, such as your cheeks, temples, under eyes, etc., the results look soft, natural, and they are permanent.
Dr. Lynch can add fat (fat transfer-grafting) to replace the volume you've lost. Facial fat transfer or fat grafting restores attractiveness to your face by filling in cheek contours and adding volume at the chin and under the eyes.
It can treat mild sagging skin and reverse some changes in the face.
A MACS Lift will restore the youthful appearance of your lower face and neck by:
* Re-tightening the skin from mid-face to the lower section down the jawline and underneath your chin. It will effectively erase the appearance of jowls and other wrinkles, like those around your nose and mouth.
* Corrects the muscular structure beneath your skin, making this procedure effective and giving you long-lasting results. Your lower face and neck will return to a normal, natural appearance.
* This lift combats the effects caused by sudden fat loss, creating laxity of the skin on your face and neck.
* The MACS lift has a shorter recovery. Because it can be completed with smaller, minimal incisions, patients experience less swelling after their procedure, which allows them to return to their usual schedules sooner than a traditional lower face or neck lift.
*Leaves little to no scarring.
*Restores your naturally youthful look without looking like something was “done.”
