Ozempic Butt

Offered at our convenient location in San Antonio, TX

“Ozempic butt” is a colloquial term referring to an unwanted side effect that substantial weight loss can have for patients, particularly those who achieve results rapidly with help from GLP-1 medications. (1)

After weight loss, many patients experience aesthetic concerns that diet and exercise may not be able to fully address, resulting in heightened demand for cosmetic enhancements. (2) The buttocks specifically suffer through these changes, often taking on a sagging or deflated look from the volume loss. Cosmetic buttocks treatments can restore balance, contour, and confidence after weight loss, so that your appearance can align more closely with the effort you’ve put into improving your health.

Dr. Wendie Grunberg at Alluring Aesthetics in San Antonio offers a patient-first approach to treating conditions like Ozempic butt. She is experienced with a full suite of buttocks-enhancing procedures, including BBL, BodyTite, Morpheus8 Body, Sculptra, FORMA, and Evolve.

About Ozempic Butt

After experiencing a significant amount of weight loss, patients often notice volume loss, diminished firmness, and sagging skin in their buttocks area—all of these are characteristics of what has become known as Ozempic butt. These unwanted changes typically occur because the skin and connective tissues do not have enough time to adapt to the weight loss.

As GLP-1 weight loss medications continue to rise in popularity, we continue to see more patients pursuing treatments for rejuvenating the buttocks. Body contouring treatments can also target the arms, tummy, thighs, breasts, and any other areas that are affected by weight loss. (3)

Benefits

Ozempic butt treatments provide numerous benefits for patients seeking to refine their post-weight-loss figure, including:

  • Improved buttock shape and projection
  • Volume restoration after weight loss
  • Smoother skin texture and reduced sagging
  • Enhanced proportion between the buttocks, hips, and thighs
  • Clothing that looks more flattering and fits more comfortably
  • Increased self-confidence

Candidates

If you have lost a significant amount of weight, notice flattened or sagging buttocks, have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months, and you want to rejuvenate your figure, you may be an ideal candidate for one of Dr. Grunberg’s Ozempic butt treatments.

You must also be in relatively good health and have realistic expectations for your results. Dr. Grunberg will determine your candidacy at a personal consultation.

Personal Consultation

During your personal consultation, Dr. Grunberg will evaluate your medical history, learn more about your weight loss journey, examine your buttocks, discuss your lifestyle, and learn about your personal goals for this treatment.

She will also assess your skin elasticity, fat distribution, and overall body proportions. After this, she will recommend an Ozempic butt treatment that is an ideal fit for your body contouring goals.

Preparation

The preparation for Ozempic butt treatment varies depending on whether you undergo surgical, non-surgical, or a combination of both to target your concerns. Dr. Grunberg will provide detailed instructions for your specific treatment, but the general guidelines may look something like this:

  • Avoiding nicotine products before and after treatment
  • Adjusting certain medications and supplements
  • Maintaining a stable weight leading up to treatment
  • Staying hydrated and eating balanced meals
  • Arranging transportation back home after your procedure
  • Pausing GLP-1 medications six weeks before and after surgery to prevent complications

These guidelines support healing, optimize your results, and prepare your body to respond to treatment more effectively.

Procedure

Dr. Grunberg approaches each procedure with precision and attention to detail, prioritizing safety and delivering natural-looking results. Some of the most effective options for treating Ozempic butt include:

BBL

A Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, is a surgical procedure that enhances the shape and size of the buttocks. This procedure involves transferring a patient’s own body fat via liposuction from the abdomen, thighs, or hips to the buttocks to create a fuller and more sculpted appearance. This procedure is ideal for patients who desire bigger and sculpted buttocks after experiencing volume loss in the area after weight loss.

AlloClae

AlloClae is an off-the-shelf, donor-derived fat injectable that is a great option for patients who do not want to undergo liposuction for fat grafting, or cannot undergo fat grafting due to insufficient excess fat. AlloClae can be used to enhance the size and shape of the buttocks, providing results similar to those of a traditional BBL but without the extra steps and longer recovery!

BodyTite

Bodytite eliminates fat and tightens the skin using radiofrequency waves that safely penetrate the skin. The radiofrequency in the waves creates a thermal effect that contracts the connective tissue. This treatment works both internally and externally to rejuvenate loose, sagging skin in the buttocks.

Morpheus8 for the Buttocks

Morpheus8 Body is a skin rejuvenation treatment that employs a combination of radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling to lift, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and stimulate elastin and collagen production to provide a smoother and more youthful look over time, while RF energy heats and further stimulates the skin.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that can add subtle volume to the buttocks without surgery. It is a minimally invasive alternative to the traditional BBL and is best for patients with mild skin laxity.

Evolve Body Contouring

Evolve Body Contouring is a non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency and electromagnetic energy to rejuvenate the skin, potentially minimize cellulite, and improve muscle tone.

Recovery

Healing after your Ozempic butt treatment depends on the procedure. Swelling, soreness, tightness, and bruising are some of the most common side effects early on in your healing process, but gradually improve with time. Your initial healing timeline can last anywhere from two to six weeks and up to six months for the final result to settle.

We typically advise that you avoid sitting directly on your buttocks, sleep on your stomach or side, wear compression garments, and incorporate frequent gentle walks to promote healthy circulation.

Dr. Grunberg and her team will provide clear aftercare guidelines to help you stay comfortable and have a smooth healing process. Attending follow-up visits is important as well, so Dr. Grunberg and her team can monitor your progress and answer any questions you may have.

Through the recovery process, it is important to have patience, as most results will develop gradually.

Results

After buttocks enhancement procedures, patients often notice an improvement in their figure, buttocks firmness, and volume. Restoring a perkier, rounder buttocks often helps patients feel more confident with the weight loss results that they worked so hard for.

By maintaining a stable weight and incorporating healthy habits, you can help ensure that these results will be long-lasting.

FAQ

What causes Ozempic butt?

Ozempic butt is not an established condition; it is a name given to a series of symptoms many patients experience after massive weight loss. It is characterized by volume loss, sagging, and an overall deflated appearance in the buttocks, particularly after the weight loss that occurs after rapid weight loss. Rapid weight loss is more likely to cause these unwanted effects as the skin does not have enough time to conform to the new contours.

Is Ozempic butt treatment permanent?

The results from both surgical and non-surgical procedures tend to be long-lasting, as long as patients follow aftercare instructions and maintain a stable weight. Significant weight fluctuations can affect results.

How soon after losing weight can I receive a treatment for Ozempic butt?

Dr. Grunberg advises patients to wait until they have reached and maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months before considering a body contouring treatment.

Do I need surgery to correct my Ozempic butt?

The type of treatment that will be best for you depends on the details of your unique situation. Dr. Grunberg will walk you through the most effective option, whether it be surgical or non-surgical, to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
