Body contouring needs rise following weight loss injection use

The use of weight-loss injections such as Ozempic and Wegovy is leading to significant weight loss for many individuals, which can result in excess skin on the abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, and face.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander de Heinrich, a specialist in body contouring, notes that many patients seek procedures not necessarily to become more beautiful, but to restore proportions and feel more comfortable in their bodies. He emphasizes that functional and aesthetic goals are interconnected and maintains that an honest recommendation against certain procedures is sometimes necessary.
