In the evolving landscape of plastic surgery, it is crucial to address any emerging trends both responsibly and ethically. As a consultant plastic surgeon, I find it necessary to shed light on the growing inclination towards procedures/interventions following significant weight loss attributed to Ozempic. I’ve had a huge rise in the number of enquiries about this (roughly 10 patients a month). The decision to undergo a facelift post-rapid weight loss should not be taken lightly. Dramatic weight loss poses challenges to the skin and underlying structures, and immediate surgical intervention may not always be advisable. Individuals considering this path should be aware of the potential risks and complications associated with such procedures.

Holistic and multidisciplinary approaches to aesthetics
The upcoming year will witness a shift towards a more holistic approach when it comes to aesthetics, emphasising the importance of a united front in delivering optimal results for patients. Surgeons, dermatologists and other specialities will work hand-in-hand, combining their expertise to address both surgical and non-surgical aspects of aesthetic enhancement. This collaborative model ensures a more nuanced understanding of patients' needs, leading to tailored, integrated treatment plans.
