Understanding Saggy Skin After Mounjaro
‘Mounjaro Face’ and ‘Mounjaro Body’ are terms used to describe facial volume loss and saggy skin that can follow the rapid weight loss often seen with Mounjaro. This isn’t a direct side effect of the medication, but rather a result of losing fat quickly. When the skin doesn’t have time to adapt, it can appear loose or aged.
Non-surgical treatments like skin tightening and volume restoration can help lift, firm, and refresh your appearance after weight loss.
This skin laxity can affect various areas, including the face, neck, abdomen, and arms, and may leave individuals feeling dissatisfied with their appearance after weight loss. Fortunately, there are non-surgical treatments available to restore volume, tighten skin, and rejuvenate the complexion, helping individuals achieve a smoother, more youthful look after significant weight loss.
Why Do Weight Loss Injections Sometimes Lead to Sagging Skin?
The primary driver is the rapid reduction of subcutaneous fat – the layer beneath the skin that provides volume and support.
- Volume Loss: Fat pads in the face (cheeks, temples) and body diminish, leading to a hollowed or deflated look.
- Skin Elasticity: Skin has limits to how much it can contract. Factors like age, genetics, sun exposure, and the speed/amount of weight loss influence how well the skin bounces back. Rapid loss often outpaces the skin’s ability to shrink.
- Collagen & Elastin: Existing collagen and elastin fibres, which provide skin structure and firmness, may not be sufficient to support the skin after significant volume loss.
