Losing a significant amount of weight was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. But I’d be lying if I said every change that came with it was easy to navigate.
Especially with the rise of GLP-1 medications, we’re talking about significant weight loss more than ever and one thing I think deserves more honest conversation is what can happen to the face afterwards.
This isn’t something caused uniquely by GLP-1s. Substantial weight loss itself can mean losing facial fat and support too, which may leave the cheeks or temples looking more hollow, the jawline feeling softer and lines or skin laxity appearing more noticeable.
& I know that feeling first-hand!
You can feel incredibly proud of what you’ve achieved and healthier or more confident in your body, while still looking in the mirror and feeling a little unsure about changes you weren’t expecting.
And that doesn’t make you vain or ungrateful for your weight loss. It simply means your face has changed too.
The good news is that there are options. Depending on the individual, we might look at carefully placed dermal filler to restore lost support, skin boosters or regenerative treatments to improve skin quality, or a combination of approaches over time.
But I’m particularly mindful with post-weight-loss faces because the answer is not automatically “add lots of volume back”.
We need to assess what has actually changed, decide what would genuinely improve things and keep the result balanced and natural.
Having been through substantial weight loss myself, I understand the bigger picture, the achievement, the adjustment and sometimes the slightly complicated relationship you develop with the person looking back at you afterwards.
If that sounds familiar, come and see me.
We’ll look at where you are now, what’s bothering you and create a plan that helps you feel like you again without undoing everything you’ve worked so hard to achieve 💛
