Is this why folks on ozempic often have a specific "look" in their face? Or is that just a side effect of semaglutide?

I'm not sure if it's true or not, but read an article just last week that Ozempic seemed to remove most/all elasticity from skin in their face. That's a bit concerning, but unfortunately, I didn't research further to see how true that is. If it is, it would certainly explain a 'look.'

I think it’s because you lose your buccal fat. I only notice it on people who are already fairly thin and taking Ozempic.

I was under the impression that “ozempic face” was just an inaccurate shorthand for the buccal fat removal surgery that seems to be all the rage currently among the starlets

It's just weight loss.

As someone on Ozempic, and who has been through a few periods of weightless before - I'm not convinced it is just weightless. The three other people whom I know that are either on, or have used it, have all had experience with dry head and facial skin. It's not a long bow to draw to wonder if the drying is related to skin moisture and elasticity.

I've found a good vitamin a boosting skoncare regime and general face moisturiser application goes some way to noticeably reducing the flakiness and dryness.

Seems like it. When I was skinny(not a rapid weight loss, it took years), I looked very different. I look a lot more friendly when I'm fatter. My skinny face was a bit.. harsh.

Ozempic face isn't real -- it'd happen for any other effective form of drastic whole-body weight loss.

There's just been nothing so effective (and relatively side-effect free and cheap, believe it or not) up until now.

Note that the wider class of drugs are called GLP1 Receptor Agonists.

Successful weight loss is so uncommon that it's alarming the effects when it occurs
