Expert Neck Contouring for GLP-1–Related Changes in Beverly Hills

At Ramly Plastic Surgery, we specialize in post-weight-loss neck lift surgery for patients who notice loose skin, neck banding, deflation, or loss of definition after GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro) or major weight loss. Dr. Elie Ramly uses a refined, anatomically precise approach to restore a smooth, balanced, sculpted neck–jawline transition that looks natural in motion and ages gracefully.

Why “Ozempic Neck” Happens

Rapid weight loss changes the neck in ways that do not self-correct:

• Loose or redundant skin, especially under the chin and along the mid-neck

• Visible platysma bands that reappear once fat volume decreases

• Loss of support and volume, creating hollowness or a harsh angle

• Residual deep fat or uneven fat pads that obscure definition

• More noticeable submandibular glands, which become prominent after slimming

These are structural issues. They do not reliably improve with devices, skincare, or further weight loss — which is why many patients choose a tailored surgical solution.

Dr. Ramly’s Comprehensive Approach to the Ozempic / Post-Weight-Loss Neck

Your surgical plan is built around your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and weight-loss pattern.

Your treatment may include:

• Anterior and lateral platysma repair
  Tightens the neck column, smooths banding, and restores youthful contour.

• Selective deep-neck sculpting
  Refines residual fat, digastric fullness, and deep tissues to recreate a crisp angle.

• Submandibular gland contouring (when indicated)
  Reduces prominence subtly and naturally.

• Skin redraping and precise excision
  Removes laxity without tension, preserving fluid, elegant movement.

• Skin-quality optimization
  Tailored options for tone, texture, luminosity, and long-term health.

• Quiet-luxury incision placement + meticulous closure
  Designed for fine, restrained, nearly undetectable scars.

The result is a neck that looks refined, balanced, and authentically yours.

Ideal Candidates

You may benefit from an Ozempic-related neck lift if you:

• Lost weight rapidly through GLP-1 therapy or other methods

• Notice looseness, banding, or an overly sharp neck–jaw transition

• Have hollow areas combined with residual fullness in others

• Want a definitive, surgical improvement rather than temporary or device-based tightening

• Have maintained a stable weight for several months

• Prefer natural, elegant, age-appropriate outcomes

What This Procedure Can Achieve

• A clean, sculpted cervicomental angle

• A naturally contoured jawline

• Correction of platysma banding and vertical neck cords

• Removal of loose or redundant skin

• Refinement of deep-neck structures

• Improved skin quality (texture, tone, luminosity)

• Results that age naturally and gracefully

This is the gold-standard solution for post-weight-loss neck changes — especially in the GLP-1 era.

Your Surgical Experience

• Performed in an accredited Beverly Hills surgery center

• Thoughtful anesthesia choices based on comfort and anatomy

• Discreet, concierge-level perioperative care

• Predictable recovery timeline

• Most patients resume social settings within 10–14 days

• Swelling continues to refine over weeks to months

Patients consistently describe the recovery as easier than expected.

Ozempic Neck vs. Traditional Neck Lift

Post-weight-loss neck lifts often require:

• More precise deep-neck contouring

• Meticulous platysma repair

• Attention to gland visibility

• Volume rebalancing, not just tightening

• Redraping techniques designed specifically for post-GLP-1 anatomy

This ensures a natural, harmonious appearance that respects facial identity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a neck lift safe after Ozempic or GLP-1 therapy?

Yes — once your weight has stabilized, a neck lift is safe, predictable, and highly effective.

Do I need to stop Ozempic before surgery?

This is individualized. Many patients continue GLP-1 therapy safely; this is reviewed during consultation.

Can skin tightening devices fix “Ozempic neck”?

In most cases, no — devices cannot correct muscle laxity, skin redundancy, or gland prominence.

Can this be combined with a facelift or facial fat grafting?

Yes. Combining procedures often produces the most balanced, rejuvenating, and natural result.

How long do results last?

Results are long-lasting. The neck will age naturally, but the improved contour remains durable for many years.

What if I lose more weight after surgery?

Significant further weight loss can affect results; stable weight is ideal before surgery.

What Patients Often Say When They See Us for an Ozempic Neck Consultation

Patients commonly describe:

• “I love my weight loss, but my neck aged faster than the rest of my face.”
