If this issue, sometimes called “Ozempic butt,” sounds familiar, you may be wondering whether fat transfer can restore fullness.
At Epstein Plastic Surgery in Long Island, NY, Dr. Mark Epstein approaches fat transfer with a deep understanding of both anatomy and aesthetics. With over 25 years of experience, he helps patients regain balance and confidence after significant weight changes.
Why Ozempic Weight Loss Decreases Volume
Ozempic and similar medications often result in faster-than-expected weight loss. While this can improve overall health, it may also reduce fat in areas where it supports a youthful or contoured look, such as the buttocks and hips. Because fat provides structure, losing it quickly can make skin appear looser or more deflated.
What Is Fat Transfer?
Fat transfer, also called fat grafting, uses your own fat to replace volume where it’s been lost. The process involves gently removing fat from one location — like the abdomen or thighs — purifying it, and then carefully injecting it into targeted areas using a cannula.
Can Fat Transfer Help After Ozempic Weight Loss?
For many patients, fat transfer can be an excellent option for restoring fullness to the glutes after medication-related weight loss. Since the fat comes from your own body, it can look and feel very natural when placed with precision.
It’s important to note, though, that surgical technique and experience matter when it comes to a successful procedure.
Dr. Epstein’s advanced training allows for careful fat handling and strategic placement. He is a pioneer in ultrasound-guided fat transfer – the only way to ensure that fat is safely injected into the correct layer in the buttocks – and was one of the first surgeons certified in this procedure by the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons.
