Why does Mounjaro or Ozempic cause loose skin?

These GLP-1 medicines reduce appetite and cause fast fat loss. The skin that stretched around the old fat cannot shrink back in time, so it hangs loose on the body and sometimes the face.

Is loose skin from GLP-1 medicines harmful?

It is mostly a comfort and confidence issue, but skin folds can trap moisture and chafe. That can lead to rashes and fungal infection, especially in warm areas like the abdomen and inner thighs.

Can loose skin from Ozempic tighten naturally?

Mild looseness may firm a little over time, helped by skin tightening treatments and good protein intake. Larger amounts of hanging skin, however, usually need surgery to remove properly.

Should I stop the medicine before skin surgery?

Your surgeon and physician will advise on timing and any pause around surgery. It is best to have stable weight before contouring, so the result lasts. Your consultation covers this in detail.

How much does treatment cost in India?

The cost depends on how many areas are treated and the plan chosen. A clear written estimate is given at your consultation, and EMI options help spread the payment comfortably.

Will the results last after GLP-1 weight loss?

Removed skin does not return, and a stable weight protects the result. If weight goes up and down again later, the skin can stretch, so keeping a steady weight helps the result last.
