In 5 weeks I will have some fat injections in my face. Mostly fat but probably also some dermal fillers, depending on what my surgeons suggests for wich area (cheeks, nasolabial, chin, corners of the jawline (not the jowel area)). I am on Ozempic for a while now and I would like to continue to use it after the procedure For 1-2 months. But I need to know if Ozempic will dissolve/metabolize the fat injections/dermal fillers faster or does it have no influence here?

Answer: There should not be a direct link between Ozempic and dermal fillers To our knowledge there is not currently significant data regarding Ozempic and the metabolism of fat injections or dermal fillers. That said, physiologically there should not be a direct link between Ozempic and dermal fillers.

Answer: Ozempic dissolve/metabolize filler/fat injections Hello Lillyfee and thank you for your question. Ozempic/Wegovy can both help in the treatment of fat loss as one loses weight. Since we cannot determine where fat will be pulled from, it can come from anywhere. Although we wish we could spot reduce in certain areas with weight loss, it is just not possible. There is a chance you may lose some of your fat injections. With filler, this can work a little differently, but anytime there is rapid weight loss, there is also volume loss. In turn, this can mean facial volume looks much less which could require more filler to help balance. Everyone’s metabolism is different and that is difficult to determine if yours would metabolize fat and/or filler faster. I would recommend consulting with the provider placing your fat injections/dermal filler and discuss this with them.
