Key Points:
- Rapid weight loss from GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic is causing patients to notice changes in their ears, such as loss of fullness and elongation of earlobes, which accelerates the aging appearance.
- Plastic surgeons report increased demand for treatments addressing "Ozempic ears," including fat transfer, earlobe reduction surgery, and dermal fillers to restore volume and improve earring fit.
- Fat transfer during facelift procedures and quick dermal filler injections are popular solutions, with some clients spending thousands for combined treatments to correct thinning and sagging earlobes.
- Public figures like Barbara Corcoran endorse using ear fillers as a routine cosmetic maintenance to maintain earlobe fullness after weight loss.
