Losing weight is something to be proud of — but many people are surprised by the changes it can cause in their face.
Whether you’re following a strict diet, intermittent fasting, using Mounjaro or Ozempic, or just seeing the results of your healthy lifestyle, you might notice your face looking thinner — and not always in a good way. This is commonly known as “weight loss face,” and it affects both men and women, especially those over 30.
At our Midlands-based aesthetic clinic, we help clients feel confident at every stage of their weight loss journey — without sacrificing a youthful appearance.

👤 What Is “Weight Loss Face”?
“Weight loss face” refers to the facial volume loss, sagging skin, and tired appearance that can come with significant or rapid weight loss. You may notice:
• Hollow cheeks
• Sharper jawlines with loose skin
• Sunken eyes or temples
• More visible wrinkles
These changes can happen to anyone, but are more noticeable if:
• You lose weight quickly
• You’re over 35
• You have naturally slim facial features
• You use GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro or Ozempic

⸻
💡 Why It Happens?
• Your face holds fat pads that support the skin — these shrink with weight loss.
• Skin loses elasticity as we age, especially with poor hydration or nutrition.
• If the weight comes off too fast, the skin doesn’t have time to adjust.

✅ 8 Ways to Minimise Facial Ageing While Losing Weight
1. Lose Weight Gradually
A slow, steady pace (1–2 lbs per week) gives your skin time to adjust naturally.
2. Strength Training
Resistance exercise helps maintain facial structure by supporting muscles in your neck and jaw.
3. Stay Hydrated
Hydrated skin looks fuller and more youthful. Aim for 2–3 litres per day.
4. Protein-Rich Diet
Protein supports collagen production and skin firmness. Include lean meats, fish, eggs, and legumes.
5. Use Collagen Supplements
Oral collagen peptides can help rebuild skin structure, especially when paired with vitamin C and zinc.
Include retinol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and SPF in your daily routine.
7. Facial Massage or Gua Sha
These techniques improve circulation and reduce puffiness, helping your skin stay toned.
8. Explore Aesthetic Treatments
At our Midlands clinic, we offer non-surgical injectable solutions that restore lost volume and tighten skin, such as:
• Dermal fillers for cheeks and temples
• Skin boosters like Profhilo, Sunekos or Polynucleotidesto stimulate collagen
• Botox anti-wrinkle and fine lines smoothing
All treatments are tailored to your unique facial structure and goals.
