In recent years, medications like Ozempic and Tirzepatide, primarily prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes, have gained attention for their unintended side effect: weight loss. This has led to an emerging trend commonly referred to as “Ozempic Butt.”
When individuals lose significant amounts of weight rapidly, their bodies may lack the time needed to adapt naturally, resulting in skin laxity and volume loss, particularly in areas like the buttocks. Rapid weight loss can also lead to muscle loss, including the muscles in the gluteal region. Since these muscles play a critical role in supporting the buttocks and aiding in walking balance, and overall leg function, this loss can significantly impact both aesthetics and physical function. Consequently, some people may notice that their once-firm and rounded buttocks appear saggy, flat, or deflated.
While Ozempic's weight loss benefits are undeniable, its aesthetic side effects, especially concerning the buttocks, can be a worry for many. Fortunately, advanced non-surgical treatments are available to address these concerns and restore the buttocks' volume, tone, and smoothness.

How Emsculpt, Sculptra, Radiesse, and Morpheus8 Can Help Improve Saggy Buttocks
If you've experienced a loss of volume or firmness in your buttocks due to factors such as weight loss from Ozempic, natural aging, or other reasons, there are several innovative treatments available. These options can help you achieve a more sculpted, lifted, and youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery or relying solely on gym workouts like squats.
Emsculpt Muscle Stimulation: Lift and Tone
Emsculpt is a cutting-edge technology that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate muscle contractions in targeted areas. Here’s how it works:
- For the buttocks, Emsculpt not only lifts the gluteal muscles but also tightens and tones the surrounding skin. Research indicates that Emsculpt can increase muscle mass by up to 16%. This makes it an ideal treatment for enhancing the shape and definition of the buttocks, especially for those looking for a fuller, more lifted appearance without invasive procedures.
- Emsculpt induces thousands of muscle contractions in a short period, simulating the effects of an intense workout but at a significantly higher intensity. These contractions encourage the muscles to adapt, resulting in a more sculpted and toned appearance.
If you have lost volume due to weight loss from Ozempic or other factors, Emsculpt can help restore youthful contours by building muscle beneath the skin, giving you a firmer and more shapely rear end.

Sculptra: Restore Volume and Collagen
Sculptra is a unique dermal filler that functions differently from traditional fillers. Instead of providing immediate volume, it stimulates collagen production in the skin over time.
Collagen is the structural protein that keeps the skin tight, firm, and youthful. As we age or experience rapid weight loss, our collagen production decreases, leading to sagging and volume loss, especially in areas like the buttocks.
By injecting Sculptra into the buttocks, it helps restore volume and enhances skin elasticity, resulting in a fuller and more lifted appearance. The results develop gradually over a few months, but the effects can last up to two years, making it a long-lasting solution for addressing saggy or deflated buttocks.

Radiesse: Immediate Volume and Long-Term Skin Tightening
Radiesse is an injectable filler known for its ability to provide immediate volume while also stimulating long-term collagen production.
Made from calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, Radiesse adds volume to the treated area and encourages the body to produce its own collagen, improving skin texture and firmness.
For individuals experiencing “Ozempic Butt” or sagging buttocks due to weight loss, Radiesse can instantly enhance the shape and fullness of the gluteal region.
Additionally, over time, the collagen stimulation will continue to improve the skin’s tone and tightness, helping to counteract the sagging effect and restore a more youthful contour to the area.
Morpheus8: Skin Tightening and Remodeling
Morpheus8 is an advanced fractional radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed for skin tightening and contouring. Here’s what you need to know:
- By utilizing a combination of microneedles and radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 works deep within the skin to promote collagen production, tighten loose or sagging skin, and improve overall texture
- This treatment is particularly effective for individuals with skin laxity in the buttocks, as it can help firm and tighten the skin without the need for surgery
- Morpheus8 stimulates collagen remodeling, which can restore a youthful and smooth appearance to the buttocks, especially in cases where the skin has lost elasticity due to rapid weight loss or aging
- The procedure is minimally invasive and involves little downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking to enhance the appearance of their buttocks with minimal disruption to their daily routine
