GLP-1, Healthy Ageing and Modern Facial Rejuvenation

Friday, 04 September 2026

The conversation around ageing, longevity and healthy ageing is entering a new era. A recent ABC News report highlights ongoing clinical research investigating whether GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide and tirzepatide, may influence certain markers of biological ageing. However, there is currently not enough scientific evidence to recommend GLP-1 medications to healthy people specifically for longevity. (ABC News⁠)

Modern plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine are also evolving toward a more individualized approach to ageing. The goal is not simply to “stop time”, but to preserve natural appearance, facial harmony, proportions and confidence.

At Opsisclinical, Plastic Surgeon Ioannis Liapakis offers modern facial rejuvenation techniques including Deep Plane Face Lift, Deep Plane Neck Lift, Full Face Lift, V Lift, Upper Face Lift, Middle Face Lift, Lower Face Lift and Neck Lift, according to each patient’s anatomy and individual needs.

The practice also offers rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, mastopexy, breast lift, breast reduction, silicone implants and labiaplasty, together with non-surgical aesthetic treatments such as long-lasting Botox, Russian Lips and advanced laser hair removal technologies including Candela Alexandrite, Nd:YAG and Soprano ICE.

Ageing is highly individual, and there is no single solution for everyone. A thorough medical assessment and personalized treatment plan are essential for safe, balanced and natural-looking results.

Opsisclinical welcomes patients from Heraklion, Chania, Rethymno, Sitia, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra and throughout Crete, as well as from Kos, Athens, Thessaloniki, Greece, Cyprus, Malta and Israel.

Crete and Athens are also increasingly relevant destinations for medical tourism, offering international patients access to specialized plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine while combining treatment with a stay in Greece.
