GLP1 and related medications help many achieve meaningful weight loss. The face, however, is not exempt. Rapid fat pad reduction plus skin laxity can reveal jowls, hollowing, and neck laxity, especially in patients over 40.
What changes with rapid weight loss?
- Deflation: Midface and perioral fat pads shrink, flattening the cheeks and deepening folds.
- Unmasking laxity: Without internal support, the lower face can look heavier despite overall weight loss.
- Skin quality: Nutrition, hydration, and hormonal shifts can dull the skin.
Treatment planning at Moradi MD:
- Lift the frame when needed. Deep plane face/neck lift repositions descended tissue to its youthful vector. It fixes what filler cannot.
- Replace volume intelligently. Fat grafting brings soft, living volume with a beautifully natural feel; select hyaluronic acid fillers add precision for lips, chin, or temples.
- Refine the canvas. Energy devices, microneedling, chemical peels, and skincare restore texture and tone.
Is it always surgery? No. Younger patients or those with mild changes may do well with nonsurgical plans. Honesty first: we choose the least invasive option that can actually meet your goals.
Results you can expect: a face that matches your healthier body, refreshed, not “done.”
If you’ve lost weight and your face feels “tired,” let’s discuss a stepwise plan, from skincare to lift that respects your timeline and lifestyle.
