What causes “Ozempic Butt”?
Rapid weight loss from medications like Ozempic® reduces fat and sometimes muscle, causing deflation and sagging in the buttocks.
What treatments are best for Ozempic Butt?
Dr. Vanek may recommend Sculptra®, fat transfer, dermal fillers, or skin tightening, depending on your needs.
How long do results last?
Non-surgical treatments can last 1–2 years, while fat transfer provides long-lasting, natural results.
Is surgery required for every patient?
No. Many patients achieve excellent results with non-surgical treatments. Surgery is recommended for those seeking more dramatic changes.
How soon after weight loss can I get treatment?
It’s best to be near your goal weight and stable for several months before undergoing treatment.
