Some say that some people lost kilos, but also part of the beauty that made them stand out.
In recent years, the physical transformations of several celebrities have popularized a rather particular term: the so-called “Ozempic face”. It is used to describe the more aged or gaunt appearance that some people may develop after losing a considerable amount of weight in a short time.
It does not mean that Ozempic directly ages the face. When a person loses a lot of weight, they may also lose facial fat, causing the cheeks to lose volume, the features to become more pronounced, and some lines or areas of loose skin to become more visible.
The phenomenon began to be associated with Hollywood amid the rise of Ozempic and other medications used for weight loss. That said, while some celebrities have acknowledged using these types of drugs, in other cases there are only rumors about the reasons behind their transformations.
In the end, the appearance that the internet dubbed “Ozempic face” may have much more to do with how much weight is lost and how quickly it is lost than with the medication itself.
