As more people turn to Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, a new conversation is emerging around the effects of the medication on facial appearance. Often referred to as "Ozempic Face," these changes can include a gaunter look due to the rapid reduction in facial fat. While the transformation can be uncomfortable for some, understanding these changes and the underlying factors for why they occur can help you navigate your weight loss journey with confidence.
What is Ozempic Face?
Ozempic face refers to the visible, rapid changes in facial appearance that some people may experience while taking Ozempic. As the medication supports the body in shedding excess fat, facial features may shift to a gaunt, hollow look. With a reduced amount of facial volume, cheeks can become sunken or swallowed, and wrinkles, fine lines, and even skin laxity may become more noticeable. Ozempic face is seen more commonly in those who start to lose weight rapidly, causing a potentially drastic before and after result.
Accepting Changes During Your Weight Loss Journey
Drastic changes in your body may be uncomfortable or unfamiliar at first, but it's important to embrace the changes you’re experiencing and celebrate your milestones. These changes are part of the progress toward a healthier lifestyle and meeting your weight goals. Our team reminds plastic surgery patients that focusing on the long-term benefits of weight management help to overcome some of the temporary, unexpected changes. Improved energy, mobility, and an increase in confidence are most important in your weight loss journey. Our weight loss program ensures you reach your goal weight safely and effectively, providing support and encouragement along the way so you don’t have to feel alone in the changes you're experiencing.
