He successfully lost 2 stone. But what happens to the face when we lose weight rapidly?
This 60-year-old gentleman came to see me following significant weight loss while taking GLP-1 medication.
While successful weight loss can bring important health benefits, rapid weight loss can also reveal facial ageing changes, particularly sagging skin, loss of facial fat and reduced soft-tissue support.
As facial fat compartments become smaller, the overlying skin may appear looser, the temples and cheeks more hollow, and the jawline less defined.
The challenge isn’t simply replacing lost volume. It’s restoring facial support, structure and balance.
I used an advanced multilayering technique, treating different anatomical depths strategically:
✨ Temples: Addressing hollowing to restore a more balanced upper facial contour.
✨ Midface: Replenishing lost volume and support to improve cheek contours and the lower eyelid–cheek transition.
✨ Jawline: One carefully placed layer to refine definition and support the lower facial contour.
✨ Teoxane babyGLOW™: A finishing treatment focused on improving skin quality and radiance.
Here’s the important distinction: volume loss and skin laxity are not the same problem. Restoring volume can improve contour and support, but it cannot always correct significant excess or sagging skin.
And in male facial rejuvenation, precision is particularly important. We want to preserve natural masculine proportions, not simply make the face fuller. Understanding where to treat, at what depth, and how much product to use is just as important as knowing when not to inject.
