How to fix ‘Ozempic body’ — the sagging skin caused by trendy weight-loss drugs

Dr. Neinstein was recently featured in an Insider article about how to fix sagging skin caused by the Ozempic weight loss drug. An excerpt from the article can be found, below.

Though many plastic surgeons are used to seeing patients come in with loose skin after bariatric surgery, Ryan Neinstein, a board-certified plastic surgeon based in New York City who specializes in advanced liposuction and a collection of procedures that is know as “mommy makeover surgery,” told Insider he’s increasingly seeing more people with the same issue after taking Ozempic.

Neinstein said many of his patients on Ozempic have lost a considerable amount weight in a short amount of time, leading to even stretchier, looser skin than his bariatric surgery patients might have.

“The phenomenon with Ozempic is, with muscle mass and fat decreasing so quickly, the skin’s becoming stretchier than it is purely with the bariatric surgery, from what I’m seeing,” he said.
