Men turn to cosmetic clinics to complete transformation after GLP-1 weight-loss drugs
Plastic surgeons say 8 of 10 doctors are seeing more men seek procedures after GLP-1 weight loss leaves loose skin and hair loss.
- As GLP-1 weight-loss drugs help more American men slim down, a growing number are seeking cosmetic treatments for sagging skin and other physical changes. Plastic surgeons report rising demand for procedures like facelifts and tummy tucks.
- Rapid weight loss triggered by GLP-1 therapies often leaves patients with loose skin and body contouring issues. Doctors note that patients struggle with the disconnect between their new, slimmer body shape and lingering skin laxity.
- Patient Mark C., a 56-year-old from Hoboken, New Jersey, underwent a deep-plane facelift after losing weight. "I was looking at myself and I was feeling really good," Mark said regarding his post-surgery results.
- Plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Alemi, based in New York, reports a significant increase in male patients seeking aesthetic procedures following medical weight loss. Men now represent a larger share of cosmetic clients than in previous years.
- Aesthetic clinics are adapting to shifting demand as changing perceptions of masculinity, combined with weight-loss medication use, continue to reshape the market. Experts suggest this trend will likely persist as more patients reach their weight-loss goals.
