    It’s worth noting that Ozempic face is a side effect of rapid weight loss, not a side effect of Ozempic.

      It’s a sign of the times that the effects of rapid weight loss are attributed to a drug since most people don’t know what it looks like!

        People don’t experience rapid weight loss because, in general, it’s not a good thing

        Surely, most overweight people simply never lose the weight… but losing weight rapidly is itself unhealthy and most people who experience rapid weight loss do so because of trauma or disease

      Was going to quote just that, from the same article:

      ‘Ozempic face’ isn’t a side effect of the medication itself. Rather, it’s a side effect of the rapid weight loss the medication can bring.

      Oh wait, I did anyway.

      Thanks for pointing that out. I lost about 30lbs and my face kinda took on some of those qualities. Especially the prominent bone thing and sunken eyes.

        Isn’t that just how you would’ve looked like if you were 30lbs lighter all along? The sagging skin is due to weight loss sure, but you definitely didn’t grow new bones.

          When you lose weight that fast the fat around your body isn’t removed equally, and you still have the extra skin left once the weight is gone. It takes a few months to a year to have everything even out.
