## Resource

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are transforming weight loss but what happens when the weight is gone and the skin isn't? Dr. Heather Lee and Dr. Peter Krasniak get into the aesthetic reality that patients often don't see coming: loose skin, volume loss, "Ozempic face," and what surgery can (and can't) fix. In this episode, they cover the three types of GLP-1 patients showing up in their practices, how facial and body changes differ and overlap, which procedures are most commonly needed after significant weight loss, the tissue and wound-healing concerns surgeons are actively watching, and how to sequence face and body surgeries when a patient needs both. If you're considering GLP-1 medications, already on them, or advising patients who are, this is a conversation worth hearing before any surgical decisions are made.
