Celebrate your weight loss journey with treatments designed to restore facial volume, tighten skin, and reveal the vibrant, youthful contours that reflect your transformation.

Restoring Harmony After Your Weight Loss Success

Dr. Elba Pacheco recognizes that while GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound deliver remarkable health transformations, significant weight loss can sometimes leave facial features appearing hollow, flat, or less defined than before. As a board-certified oculoplastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience in facial and body rejuvenation, Dr. Pacheco specializes in restoring the volume, firmness, and radiance that weight loss may have compromised. Through a personalized Total Rejuvenation approach combining advanced skin tightening, strategic volume restoration, and texture refinement, we help you complete your transformation with results that look natural, balanced, and unmistakably you.

What Is GLP-1 Post-Weight Loss Facial and Body Rejuvenation?

GLP-1 post-weight loss facial and body rejuvenation addresses the aesthetic side effects that often accompany significant weight reduction from medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound. While these treatments offer incredible health benefits, rapid fat loss can leave the face appearing gaunt, characterized by skin laxity and volume depletion in the cheeks, temples, and mid-face.

By combining advanced techniques that tighten lax, dropping skin and restore fullness to hollowed areas, this specialized rejuvenation process supports healthier skin elasticity, refines facial contours, and promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion. Post-GLP-1 facial and body rejuvenation restores facial harmony through a customized combination of treatments designed to:

Tighten loose, crepey skin on the face, neck, and body
Restore lost volume in hollowed or deflated areas
Improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity for smoother, more glowing-looking skin
Soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Enhance facial contours for a naturally youthful, refreshed appearance

The Benefits of Post-Weight Loss Rejuvenation

Restores Youthful Facial Volume: Strategic filler placement rebuilds soft, youthful fullness in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye area, helping reverse the hollowed or gaunt appearance that can follow rapid weight loss while supporting balanced, refreshed facial proportions.
Tightens and Firms Loose Skin: Advanced radiofrequency treatments such as Thermage stimulate collagen production to lift, firm, and tighten lax skin on the face, neck, jawline, and body, improving skin resilience and smoothness without surgery or downtime.
Enhances Skin Texture and Radiance: Laser and energy-based treatments refine uneven texture, soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize visible pores, and restore luminosity, revealing smoother, more glowing-looking skin that appears healthier and more youthful after weight loss.
Creates Balanced, Natural Contours: By addressing multiple layers of the face, including volume, skin quality, and structural support, rejuvenation treatments enhance natural contours and deliver harmonious results that look refreshed and never overdone.
Complements Your Health Journey: These treatments celebrate your weight-loss success by helping your skin look as vibrant, smooth, and energized as you feel, creating alignment between your inner transformation and outer appearance.
Non-Surgical and Customizable: Most treatments require minimal to no downtime and can be tailored to your unique skin concerns, allowing you to maintain an active lifestyle while gradually improving firmness, texture, and overall skin quality.

Are You a Candidate for GLP-1 Post-Weight Loss Rejuvenation?

You may be an ideal candidate if you have experienced significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications and are noticing changes in facial or body skin quality, volume, or contour, including:

Hollow or sunken cheeks, temples, or under-eyes
Sagging skin along the jawline, neck, or body
Deepened nasolabial folds or marionette lines
Loss of facial fullness that makes you appear tired or older
Crepey skin texture on the face, neck, décolletage, arms, or abdomen
A disconnect between your healthy body and your aged facial appearance

Treatment Process

Your rejuvenation plan will be tailored to your needs, but may include the following treatments:

Thermage FLX (Face and Body Tightening)

This non-invasive radiofrequency treatment heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose, sagging tissue. Thermage is FDA-cleared for treating facial wrinkles and body laxity, making it ideal for post-weight-loss skin tightening. Treatment takes 60-90 minutes, depending on the area, with no downtime required. Results develop gradually over 2-6 months as new collagen forms.

Dermal Fillers (Volume Restoration)

Using hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, or Sculptra, Dr. Pacheco strategically restores volume to hollowed cheeks, temples, under-eyes, and mid-face areas. Her advanced cannula technique minimizes bruising and ensures smooth, natural-looking results. Treatment takes 30-60 minutes per session, with results visible immediately and improving over several weeks.

Neurotoxins (BOTOX®, Dysport, and DAXXIFY)

To soften dynamic wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming, neurotoxins relax facial muscles that create crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. This treatment takes just 15-20 minutes with results appearing within 3-7 days.

Laser Skin Resurfacing and BBL Phototherapy

Laser treatments improve skin texture, tone, and radiance by stimulating collagen production and reducing sun damage, fine lines, and pore size. Treatment duration varies by area and intensity, with minimal downtime for most patients.

Most patients benefit from a staged approach, with treatments spaced several weeks apart to allow results to develop naturally and harmoniously.

Recovery and Results Timeline

Immediate (Days 1-3): You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness following filler or laser treatments. Most patients return to normal activities immediately or within 24 hours. Makeup can typically be applied the next day.
Short-Term (Weeks 1-4): Neurotoxin results become visible within 3-7 days. Filler results are immediately apparent and continue to settle and soften over 2-4 weeks as swelling subsides.
Mid-Term (Months 1-3): Thermage results begin to emerge as collagen remodeling occurs. Skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted. Any residual swelling from fillers completely resolves.
Long-Term (Months 3-6+): Full Thermage results develop as collagen production peaks, with continued improvement for up to 6 months. The combination of volume restoration, skin tightening, and texture refinement creates a complete facial transformation that looks naturally youthful and balanced.

Results from dermal fillers typically last 12-24 months, depending on the product used. Neurotoxins last 3-6 months. Thermage results can last 1-2 years or longer with proper skincare and maintenance.

Post-Weight-Loss Facial and Body RejuvenationFAQs

How soon after reaching my goal weight should I consider facial and body rejuvenation treatments?

It's best to wait until your weight has stabilized for at least 3-6 months before beginning facial and body rejuvenation. This allows your body to settle into its new composition and gives Dr. Pacheco a clear understanding of which areas need volume restoration or skin tightening.

Will these treatments interfere with my GLP-1 medication or weight loss maintenance?

No, facial and body rejuvenation treatments will not interfere with your GLP-1 medications or weight maintenance program. The treatments target facial volume, skin quality, and collagen production—they do not affect your metabolism, appetite regulation, or the way your body processes the medication.

Can I still continue losing weight after starting facial and body rejuvenation treatments?

While you can continue your health journey, significant additional weight loss after facial and body rejuvenation may alter your results. If you're planning to lose more than 10-15 additional pounds, Dr. Pacheco may recommend waiting until your weight stabilizes before investing in comprehensive facial treatments.

How is post-GLP-1 facial and body rejuvenation different from traditional anti-aging treatments?

Post-GLP-1 rejuvenation addresses a unique pattern of volume loss and skin laxity that differs from natural aging. Dr. Pacheco's approach focuses on rebuilding structural volume and tightening skin simultaneously, rather than simply addressing wrinkles or fine lines as traditional anti-aging treatments do.

Is there a specific order I should follow for these treatments?

Dr. Pacheco typically recommends starting with foundational treatments first, such as Thermage for skin tightening and Sculptra for gradual volume building. Once these establish a firmer base and stimulate collagen production, she'll layer in hyaluronic acid fillers for targeted volume restoration and neurotoxins for dynamic wrinkle smoothing. This staged approach allows results to develop naturally and ensures each treatment builds upon the previous one.

Are there any treatments you recommend avoiding after GLP-1 weight loss?

Dr. Pacheco generally advises caution with overly aggressive treatments that remove volume, such as buccal fat removal or excessive jawline liposuction, since post-weight loss faces have already lost significant fat. Additionally, surgical facelifts may not be the best first option if skin tightening and volume restoration with non-surgical methods can achieve your goals.
