Shownotes

In this episode of Beauty & The Brain, Dr. Chris Croley, Jerry Drinkard, NP, and Allie Ballew, NP, discuss the aesthetic impact of weight loss, especially in patients using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic.

They talk about the disconnect between reaching a goal number on the scale and actually feeling happy with how the face and body look afterward. From facial volume loss and sagging skin to muscle loss, crepey texture, and dull skin, this episode explores the changes that often catch patients off guard.

They also share why it is so important to plan ahead during a weight loss journey and discuss treatment options that may help support skin quality, collagen production, facial balance, and body confidence along the way.

This is a must-listen for anyone considering medically assisted weight loss or wondering how to stay looking healthy, refreshed, and supported throughout the process.
