GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy are changing bodies fast. But what happens to your skin, face and overall appearance after dramatic weight loss? In this episode, Lauren sits down with New York Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. David Kashan to talk about the growing rise in “Ozempic face,” loose skin, body contouring, facelifts, skin removal surgery and the very real aesthetic side effects many people aren’t talking about.
Dr. Kashan, who trained at the renowned Cleveland Clinic, shares what he’s seeing firsthand in his practice during the GLP-1 boom. Together, they discuss who is most affected by rapid weight loss, the most common procedures patients are requesting now, how long patients should stop GLP-1 medications before surgery, and whether non-surgical treatments can help improve skin laxity, facial volume loss and overall skin quality before considering surgery.
If you’re a woman in midlife navigating weight loss, aging, confidence, skin changes or considering GLP-1 medications yourself, this conversation is packed with honest insight, practical advice, and expert perspective you’ll definitely want to hear.
