People on Ozempic are getting 'zombie filler.' What is it?
USA Today • • health
Key Points:
- "Zombie filler" is a new plastic surgery trend involving fat transfers using fat harvested from donated human cadavers, rather than from the patient's own body.
- This method has gained popularity as patients using weight loss drugs like GLP-1s often have insufficient body fat for traditional fat transfers.
- The procedure is seen as a more natural and regenerative alternative to synthetic fillers, offering faster results and avoiding the "overfilled" look associated with traditional fillers.
- Although the concept has existed for over a decade, recent reductions in cost and increased demand have made zombie filler more accessible beyond high-profile clients.
- The rise of GLP-1 medications has accelerated fat loss, leading to volume loss in the face and body, prompting patients to seek zombie filler to restore a youthful appearance.
