At The Piazza Center, a leading provider of facial rejuvenation in Austin, TX, we've seen many patients achieve significant weight loss with GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. While this is a fantastic accomplishment, it can sometimes lead to a new aesthetic concern – facial volume loss, often referred to as "Ozempic Face." This can leave you feeling self-conscious despite reaching your weight loss goals.
We understand this frustration and are here to help. This blog post will explore how full facial balancing, a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation, can effectively combat Ozempic Face and restore a youthful, balanced appearance.
Understanding Ozempic Face and Volume Loss
Facial volume loss is a natural part of aging. As we produce less collagen and elastin, our skin loses its elasticity and starts to sag. Weight loss can accelerate this process, causing a gaunt or hollow appearance in the face. Ozempic Face specifically refers to the visible effects of weight loss on the face, including:
- Hollow cheeks
- Sunken temples
- Indented tear troughs
- Prominent wrinkles and lines

What is Full Facial Balancing?
Full facial balancing is a cornerstone of our approach to facial rejuvenation at The Piazza Center. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, it focuses on restoring volume loss in a way that enhances your unique facial features and creates overall harmony.
Here's how it works:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced nurse injectors will carefully assess your facial structure, the degree of volume loss, and your aesthetic goals. They will discuss your medical history and Ozempic usage to create a personalized treatment plan. Want to see what it looks like? Check out this video.
- Treatment Options: Full facial balancing can incorporate a variety of surgical and non-surgical techniques to achieve optimal results. Here are some commonly used options:
- Dermal fillers: Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers can effectively restore volume in areas like cheeks, temples, and tear troughs, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- Botox® and Dysport®: These neuromodulators can relax overactive muscles that contribute to wrinkles and lines, particularly around the eyes and forehead.
- Sculptra: a collagen-stimulating injectable, can be incorporated into a full facial balancing plan to provide long-lasting volume restoration and a natural-looking rejuvenation.
- Surgical procedures: For more significant concerns, surgical options like a facelift or brow lift might be considered to address sagging skin and deeper wrinkles.
The Benefits of Full Facial Balancing for Ozempic Face
Full facial balancing offers numerous benefits for patients who have experienced Ozempic Face:
- Restores lost volume: By strategically adding volume to specific areas, full facial balancing can plump up hollow cheeks, smooth wrinkles, and create a more youthful, balanced appearance.
- Enhances facial harmony: The focus on overall symmetry ensures that the rejuvenated areas complement your existing features for a natural-looking result.
- Boosts confidence: Feeling good about your appearance can significantly improve your self-esteem and overall well-being.
