Men turn to cosmetic clinics to complete transformation after GLP-1 weight-loss drugs
Men who lost weight with GLP-1 drugs are turning to surgery and restorative treatments as doctors report sagging skin, hair loss and dental issues.
As GLP-1 weight-loss drugs help American men slim down, a growing number are seeking cosmetic procedures to address sagging skin and physical changes reshaping aesthetic clinics' clientele.
Rapid weight loss often leaves men with sagging skin and stubborn fat deposits that diet and exercise cannot eliminate, motivating patients like Mark C. to seek corrective surgery.
Surgeons now perform more facelifts, liposuction, and tummy tucks on men, with Dr. Sean Alemi noting these procedures help patients finalize their physical transformations.
Beyond skin concerns, doctors observe patients seeking treatments for hair loss and dental issues, as eight of 10 doctors report many patients now opt for injectables.
Companies are developing new treatments to address post-weight-loss concerns, and surgeons anticipate demand for corrective procedures will persist as patients complete their transformations.
