Dr. Robert Whitfield explains that GLP-1 weight-loss drugs cause facial fat loss, making people look prematurely aged. Restoring volume with fat injections risks looking unnatural. He avoids this approach in his practice.
I've had patients, patients that are very prominent, high profile people give themselves facial fat atrophy. And I can't fix facial fat atrophy in patients. Not because, you know, there's not a solution for that, but when you're taking that drug and the solution is to put fat back. So you got fat, you got a foreign substance, which I, I basically avoid putting foreign things in people. It's not part of my, my program.
But it's.
Gonna create a.
Bunch of funny looking people. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Yeah. So for.
Prematurely aged people would be the better way. Yeah. Cause that's.
I mean, I, I don't know about you, but I get all these Instagram ads because I obviously own a clinic and then I've got my telemedicine company doing hormone replacement and now I'm getting ads on Instagram about, with, with skin tightening because of the, because of the GLP craze. Like that is the marketing message. Like people are going to have slack skin because they lose weight too quickly. And then like you said, you know, on your face, facial atrophy, like that, like that, I would assume that would look scarred and God knows what, right?
