Facial Rejuvenation in the Age of Medical Weight Loss: Strategies for the Deflated Face, Fill, Reposition or Resect Friday, October 10 Fri, Oct 10 5:00-6:00 p.m. CDT

The widespread use of GLP-1 receptor agonists and other medical weight loss therapies has introduced new challenges in facial aesthetics. Patients experiencing significant volume loss—often referred to colloquially as “Ozempic face”—require nuanced, multi-modal rejuvenation strategies. This session will explore the aesthetic implications of rapid facial deflation and skin laxity, emphasizing a comprehensive approach that includes volume restoration, skin tightening, and structural support. Faculty will review patient assessment techniques, procedural planning, and evidence-based interventions to restore youthful facial balance and contour in this emerging patient population.

Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:

1. Identify common aesthetic changes in the face resulting from significant pharmacologic weight loss, including volume depletion, soft tissue descent, and skin laxity.
2. Formulate individualized facial rejuvenation plans incorporating surgical and non-surgical modalities to address the anatomical effects of facial deflation.
3. Apply principles of volumetric analysis and tissue support to optimize outcomes and patient satisfaction in the context of post-weight loss facial remodeling.
