“Ozempic Butt” has become a phenomenon with the rise of GLP medications in the aesthetic industry. Many of our patients are living fit and fabulous, having recently achieved their weight loss goals. This, however, has led to an increase in demand for certain additional treatments to help people fully reach their aesthetic goals. Many patients find that despite losing the weight they were hoping to, it came at the cost of also losing volume in their buttocks, perhaps also leading to excess or sagging skin in this area.
This brings forth a new question: how do you treat sagging skin or lost definition that resulted from rapid weight loss due to GLP medications? Many people do not want to put the weight back on, but are simply looking for a more refined and athletic aesthetic or to add volume back to areas they desire, such as the buttocks, and the go-to treatments for this are often either Brazilian Butt Lift(BBL) or a traditional butt lift.
Which is right for you? Well, in short, the answer probably lies in whether or not you still have enough body fat in other areas to facilitate a fat transfer. If you have sufficient fat in common donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, then you could probably benefit most from a BBL. Not only do BBL procedures address issues such as sagging skin, loss of volume, or loss of definition in the buttocks, but they can also help you reach your overall aesthetic goals by reducing fat in other areas, leading to more desired proportions.
When performing a BBL, it is often a good idea to include not just volume restoration, but also some element of skin tightening. At Austin Plastic Surgeon, we typically perform our BBL
Typically, in the setting of Ozempic Butt, we want to do some skin tightening. Because another element of Ozempic Butt is not only the volume lost in the butt, but usually the butt has fallen a little bit, and you’ve got some loose skin or skin laxity of the buttocks. That can be treated in a couple of different ways in order to achieve a more athletic look, which is a commonly desired outcome when it comes to patients seeking to treat Ozempic Butt.
In many cases, if we’re performing a BBL, we’ll combine it with treatments such as Renuvion, also known as J-Plasma, to help tighten the skin of the buttocks, which can be extremely powerful. Renuvion uses radio frequency energy that goes under the skin and causes the skin to contract. So we’re tightening the skin envelope, giving you that more athletic look, and then doing some targeted volume replacement, which fits right with the modern trend of Brazilian Butt Lifts being more athletic, more fit in appearance to the overall butt itself.
Patients seeking buttocks enhancement may also be interested in other treatments such as Sofwave, Aviva, or RF microneedling to help further improve the overall appearance of the buttocks.
So in summary, Ozempic butt can be treated in many patients with a Brazilian Butt Lift, often referred to as a “skinny BBL,” because you’re doing some lipo-sculpting of residual areas that you further contour, maybe some areas that still have some residual fat/adipose tissue, and then you’re doing some targeted transfer to the butt to just shape and restore the volume that you’ve lost.
The result, when performed by our experienced staff at Austin Plastic Surgeon, is often that “pilates peach” look that so many women desire, thanks to how we not only transfer fat to areas of the body that are commonly more desired, but also because of how we are able to tighten any loose or excess skin in the process as well. In conclusion, if you are suffering from Ozempic Butt, Austin Plastic Surgeon is here to help. Through a combination of Brazilian Butt Lift and skin tightening treatments, we can give you the look you have been desiring once and for all.
