Why might those using Wegovy notice volume loss and a double chin?
During rapid weight loss, there is a reduction in facial fat pads. The skin loses support, and signs such as undefined contours, sunken cheeks, and jowls may appear. The physiological decline of collagen with age exacerbates this effect. Prevention means stimulating the dermal matrix before the skin visibly sags.

What non-invasive procedures help maintain the contour in Wegovy?
-
Liftera (Microfocused ultrasound): stimulates collagen in depth and acts on the SMAS for a lifting effect without surgery.
-
CoolPhase (Monopolar radiofrequency with cooling): comfortably heats the dermis, contracts existing collagen, and stimulates neocollagenesis.
-
Biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, Profhilo): reinforce dermal density and improve elasticity with natural progression.
These approaches can be combined to treat different layers and needs, always after medical evaluation.

How does individual assessment ensure safety and naturalness?
Each face has its own skin thickness, fat distribution, and degree of sagging. At Dra. Renata Ralha's Clinic, the parameters are adjusted to preserve features, avoid unwanted volume loss, and enhance collagen production in a controlled manner. Many protocols recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory drugs for 1 to 2 weeks immediately after treatment to avoid interfering with the regenerative response.

Medical evaluation is essential to understand the patient's complaints, identify dermatological problems, and consider their individual characteristics, such as anatomy, skin type, and reactions to substances used. Based on this, it is possible to determine the appropriate techniques to naturally enhance the features of the face, skin, and body.
Choosing a dermatologist is crucial for a thorough analysis of the areas of disharmony in the patient and to determine the necessary techniques, whether it be increasing volume, correcting angles, or symmetry. With a personalized and exclusive treatment plan, it is possible to meet the specific needs of each patient while respecting their limitations.
