Ozempic Face
Ozempic Face
Ozempic Face refers to changes in facial appearance resulting from significant weight loss, often associated with using medications like semaglutide, known as Ozempic and Wegovy. It is now widely used for weight management, having originally been developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. While effective in promoting weight loss, they can lead to unwanted changes in facial volume and skin elasticity, resulting in what is colloquially known as “Ozempic Face.”
The Effects of Weight Loss on Facial Appearance
Rapid weight loss has a profound effect on the skin and facial structure. Losing more than 35 pounds within a short period, such as six months, can deplete the body of essential nutrients and reduce subcutaneous fat. This reduction causes sagging skin, deep folds, and an overall aged appearance, particularly noticeable in the cheeks, eyes, and jawline.
Common Characteristics of Ozempic Face
- Hollow Cheeks, Eyes, and Temples: The face may lose its youthful roundness, causing the eyes to appear hollow and the temples to sink.
- Hanging Skin: Without the support of facial fat, the skin can hang, leading to a loose and wrinkled appearance.
- Deep Lines Around the Mouth: Weight loss can deepen nasolabial folds and marionette lines due to gravitational changes.
- Jowling: The lower face may sag over the jawline, creating a "jowl" effect.
- Wrinkles and Loose Skin at the Neck: The neck may lose its sharp angle by forming platysma bands.
