Ozempic Breast

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Mesa, Tempe, Gilbert and Scottsdale, AZ

‘Ozempic breast’* is a phrase referring to the physical changes in the breasts that can result from rapid weight loss. GLP-1 weight loss medication use has grown significantly in popularity as they continue to help thousands of patients achieve their health and wellness goals. (1) However, with rapid weight loss, many women also notice unwanted changes in their breasts, including a loss of volume, diminished breast shape, decreased skin elasticity, and more.

At Scottsdale Plastics, Dr. Robert G. Bonillas offers Ozempic breast procedures to help address each of these changes and restore a more balanced and youthful look.

To get started, please schedule a consultation online or call (480) 245-6380.

*”Ozempic Breast” is a non-medical term used to describe breast changes after weight loss from medications. We do not offer GLP-1 medications at our practice.

About Ozempic Breast Treatments

Ozempic breast treatments are highly customizable procedures that utilize techniques from several different breast-enhancing procedures to reshape and recontour the appearance of the breasts. At Scottsdale Plastics, these include implant-based breast augmentation, fat transfer breast augmentation, breast lift, and breast reduction.

Breast Augmentation with Implants

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, is a procedure that uses implants to enhance the size and volume of the breasts. Dr. Bonillas offers a wide array of implants with varying options regarding size, material, and shape. Implants allow for a significant cup-size increase that looks natural.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

A fat transfer breast augmentation is a variation of the traditional breast augmentation that uses your own fat to enhance the appearance of the breasts. Dr. Bonillas can use liposuction to help remove fat from other areas of the body before purifying it and readministering it to your breasts. This treatment can provide more natural-looking and feeling results compared to implants, although only a 1-2 cup-size increase is typically possible.

Breast Lift

A breast lift addresses skin laxity and malpositioned nipples by reshaping and repositioning the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall. Also known as mastopexy, this procedure can reshape and recontour the breasts without altering their volume. (2) Dr. Bonillas can perform this procedure to eliminate the appearance of sagging and restore a perkier, more uplifted appearance.

Breast Reduction

Breast reduction, or augmentation mammaplasty, removes excess tissue from the breasts to reduce their size, volume, and weight. Enlarged or excessively heavy breasts can cause several concerns to develop, including poor posture, skin irritation, and chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain. (3) Dr. Bonillas can perform this procedure to improve your comfort while simultaneously resculpting your breasts for a more balanced and proportionate silhouette.

Benefits

Ozempic breast procedures offer several benefits, including:

  • Improved Proportions: Our breast-enhancing procedures restore a more balanced appearance between your chest and the rest of your body, resulting in a more proportionate figure.
  • Youthful-Looking Sculpt: Resculpting the shape and contours of your breasts can help you achieve a more lifted, perky appearance.
  • Tighter Skin: Certain techniques, such as breast lifting, can remove sagging or hanging skin to restore a smoother and tighter look and feel.
  • Enhanced Symmetry: Dr. Bonillas can perform an Ozempic breast procedure to improve the balance between your breasts for a more even appearance.
  • Areola Repositioning: Ozempic breast treatments can address changes to your nipple-areolar complex, such as malpositioned or downward-facing nipples.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Ozempic breast treatments create long-lasting results, with many patients enjoying their renewed appearance for years.
  • Elevated Confidence: Many patients report an improvement in their self-confidence and body positivity after seeing the positive results of their weight loss transformation.

Candidates

Not every patient will experience changes in their breasts after using GLP-1 medications; however, many women do. Candidates for Ozempic breast treatments typically consist of women who are interested in enhancing the appearance of their breasts after significant weight loss using GLP-1 medications. Patients experiencing sagging, asymmetrical, or deflated breasts may also find this procedure to be highly beneficial.

Anyone interested in correcting their Ozempic breasts should be in good general health and hold realistic expectations for their results. Patients should be nonsmokers or willing to quit using nicotine for an extensive period. It is also important that each candidate is at a maintainable and stable weight before seeking out this procedure. Dr. Bonillas will determine each patient’s candidacy during their personal consultation.

Personal Consultation

The first step to transforming your breasts is attending an in-office consultation with Dr. Bonillas. During this consultation, he will ask several questions about your medical history, current prescriptions, concerns, and treatment goals. He will also perform a physical examination to evaluate the quality and condition of your skin, as well as the anatomy of your breasts and overall figure.

Dr. Bonillas will explain each breast enhancement procedure we offer, the differences between each of them, and their techniques. He will also take the time to answer any questions you may have about your procedure. By carefully listening to each of your needs and evaluating the treatment area, Dr. Bonillas can provide you with a personalized plan aimed at restoring your silhouette and self-confidence.

To schedule this consultation, please submit our online contact form or call our office at (480) 245-6380.

Recovery

Your recovery timeline will depend on the specific procedure(s) you undergo, the extent of your treatment, and your own pace of healing. In the initial stages of recovery, you can expect to experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness around the treated areas. These effects are temporary and will dissipate on their own, and prescribed pain medications can also help you manage them when used as indicated. You may be able to return to your career within two weeks; however, a full recovery will take several weeks longer.

Dr. Bonillas will provide post-operative instructions to help you care for yourself as your body heals, including details regarding activity restrictions, incision care, and follow-up appointments.

Results

You will be able to experience the full results of your Ozempic breast procedure after residual swelling subsides. You can enjoy improvements in the firmness of your skin, as well as a more refined breast sculpt and shape. You will also notice enhanced symmetry between your breasts. Many patients who come to Dr. Bonillas for his Ozempic breast procedure report improvements in their self-esteem, leading to a greater sense of confidence and body positivity.

FAQ

Do weight loss medications always cause changes in the breasts?

Not all patients will experience breast changes after losing weight, but significant weight loss typically results in a deflated or sagging appearance due to hanging skin and fat loss.

Is there a “best time” to undergo an Ozempic breast procedure after completing my weight loss journey?

While there is no universal ‘best time’ to undergo an aesthetic surgical procedure, it is recommended that patients wait several months after finishing their weight loss journeys. It is crucial to reach a stable weight for long-lasting results. We also recommend that patients wait to consider surgery until after they are done having children, as pregnancy can alter the appearance of the breasts.

How will I know which Ozempic breast treatment is right for me?

After performing a physical examination and reviewing your medical history, Dr. Bonillas will recommend the best procedure—or combination of procedures—to help you enhance the appearance of your breasts.

How long will the results of my procedure last?

The results of our Ozempic breast procedures are designed to be long-lasting. However, you will need to maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle habits, as fluctuations in weight can alter your long-term appearance.

Can I combine my Ozempic breast procedure with another?

Dr. Bonillas may combine several breast enhancement techniques during your procedure to help you achieve your desired results. If you are seeking to combine your breast procedure with another procedure that will address a separate area of the body, we ask that you schedule a consultation.
