In recent years, medications like Ozempic (semaglutide) have become increasingly popular for weight loss. While the results can be transformative, a new side effect has emerged—one that’s leaving some patients with unexpected changes in their appearance. Enter: “Ozempic Breast.”
At Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa, we’re seeing more patients who are thrilled with their weight loss but concerned about the changes to their breasts. If you’ve noticed your breasts look deflated or saggy after taking Ozempic or another GLP-1 medication, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help!
What is "Ozempic Breast"?
“Ozempic Breast” refers to the loss of volume and firmness in the breast tissue after rapid weight loss, particularly due to medications like semaglutide. When the pounds come off quickly, fat is often lost in areas you’d prefer to keep fuller—like the breasts, face, and buttocks.
Breast tissue is made up largely of fat, so it’s no surprise that rapid fat loss can leave the chest looking deflated, saggy, or loose. Unfortunately, we don’t get to choose where our bodies shed fat first—so these changes can be especially frustrating.
How "Ozempic Breast" Impacts Confidence
For many people, breasts are more than just anatomy—they represent femininity, youthfulness, and confidence. So when the breasts lose their volume and shape, it can affect how you feel in your body, even after achieving your weight loss goals.
We believe weight loss is something to be celebrated, and we also understand the importance of feeling confident and comfortable in your post-weight-loss body. If you’re struggling with these changes, plastic surgery may offer a solution.
What Can You Do About Deflated Breasts After Weight Loss?
If you’ve recently lost a significant amount of weight using Ozempic or another medication, we recommend waiting at least six months after reaching your goal weight before pursuing surgery. This allows your body to stabilize, which leads to better, longer-lasting results.
At Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa, we take a customized, patient-first approach. Our experienced team will help you determine the best time and type of treatment for your unique body and goals.
Surgical Options to Treat "Ozempic Breast"
No two bodies are the same, and your solution should be just as unique. Here are some of the most effective procedures to address deflated breasts after weight loss:
1. Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
A breast lift is ideal for addressing sagging or stretched skin. This procedure removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to lift the breasts into a more youthful position, without necessarily adding volume.
2. Breast Augmentation
If volume loss is your main concern, breast implants (saline or silicone) can restore fullness and enhance breast shape. This is a great option for patients who want a rounder, more proportionate appearance.
3. Breast Lift with Augmentation
For many patients, the best results come from combining both procedures. A lift + augmentation can address both sagging and volume loss, restoring shape, projection, and confidence.
4. Internal Bra Support (Galaflex Mesh)
Thanks to innovations in breast surgery, we can now use internal mesh bras made from Galaflex. This material integrates with your body’s collagen, offering long-term support and structure, especially helpful after major weight loss.
