OZEMPIC supplies an explosion to patients looking for NIP/Tucks to correct cosmetic problems after mass weight loss, British plastic surgeons say.
The new elements of the industry, published today, show that the demand for almost all types of surgery has increased in the past year, with the largest increase in thigh lifting operations.
According to data, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPs) last year was 24 % in patients undergoing OP.
A thigh lift, or the thighs, involves cutting the excessive skin around the upper legs – a problem often observed in those who lose large amounts of weight – and tightness that remains in the tissue.
Cataloplasty-also known as abdominal pressure-and body lifts, which work in a similar way, are increasingly popular as slimmers have tried to get rid of the post-ooper “melted candle skin”.
While they are effective, surgeons say they are one of the most complex and dangerous cosmetic ops around, with common complications, including infections and blood clots.
- Eyebrows, eyes and facelifts are also increasing – with functions that are often considered the only way to correct dramatically relaxation, premature “OZEMPIC FACE”.
The health benefits of new weight loss treatments as peptide-1 receptor-1 fighters that look like glucagon or GLP-1S-are numerous and well-documented.

British plastic surgeons argue that use ozempic feeds an explosion in patients looking for NIP/Tucks to correct cosmetic problems after mass weight loss
Pugs help patients throw up to one quarter of their body weight, enhancing heart health, helping to prevent cancer and even enhance fertility, according to research.
But many patients also complain about appearance worse after weight loss.
In social media, users say they are left with sunken, hollow faces, skin relaxation in the body, “empty” breasts and buttocks.
These body problems are not a side effect of the drug, but the result of massive, rapid weight loss.
While fat tissues shrink, the skin – which is stretched over time – does not just pull back.
Along with embarrassment, patients also suffer from mobility issues and risk infections due to huge quantities of loose, excessive skin.
And, in an effort to deal with the problem, cosmetic surgeons quickly improve their techniques to offer corrections, according to recent reports.
Speaking to MailOnline earlier this month, Dr. Johnny Franco, an adviser to Austin Plastic Surgeon, said: “GLP-1S is a new aesthetic gateway-we see a completely new subgroup of patients with skin problems at a very young age.”

Baaps President, Cosmetic Surgeon Advisor Nora Nugent said: ‘I see more patients with facelift who have seen the results of weight loss on their face and throats, while in GLP-1 receptors such as Ozempic and Mounjaro to manage their weight.
“However, I think this contributes and not represents all the increase in the rejuvenation of the person we have seen.”
The most popular OP is breast increase – or a bombs work – with more than 5,200 women choosing the business in 2023, an increase of six percent a year.
This followed closely with breast reduction, with 4,707 women having OP -a percent increase.
There were also 248 men who underwent breast reduction to deal with the bad “Moobes”, an increase of two percent.
The most popular ops for men were rhinoplasty – also known as nose work and eyelash surgery.
Women were also increasingly demanding for superficial gluts, more known as Brazilian lift or BBL.
Baaps surgeons stopped offering the OP in 2022, after numerous reports of deaths associated with the procedure.
However, in recent years, thanks to the safest surgical techniques, some have begun to perform the process again.
Dr. Nugent adds that in other cases, patients who have previously selected cosmetic treatments such as botox and fillers are now turning to surgery to get better results.
He said: “I also see more patients who have reached the limits of what non -surgical treatments can do and want a natural appearance of long -term rejuvenation.”
Baaps Vice President Anthony Macquillan said: “After Covid, we noticed a shift in patients’ priorities, with more emphasis on both mental and functional health.
“This can explain the increase in processes such as community and breast reductions, which offer physical and psychological benefits.
“At the same time, the increase in facelifts could be linked to social changes, such as the growing age of retirement and the desire to remain relevant to the workplace.
“For many, this type of surgery is not only aesthetic but also a functional helping to maintain confidence, ensuring employment and reducing age -related stress.”
