What Is the ‘Ozempic Face’ Side Effect and Why Does It Happen? Doctors Explain
Ozempic, which is a brand name for semaglutide, is currently on the Food and Drug Administration’s, and many have pointed the finger at people using the medication off-label for weight loss as the reason it’s hard to find at the moment. Now, there are reports of another controversy surrounding Ozempic and similar drugs: Some people say it’s given them an unwanted side effect that’s been dubbed “Ozempic face.
“Weight loss, whether it is from diet, exercise, surgery, or a medication, takes a toll on your face,” explains, M.D., director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research in Dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital. “Fat in the face helps us maintain a naturally youthful appearance. When you lose facial fat, the face often appears gaunt and skeletonized. Especially in people who lose large amounts of weight, the face can appear significantly older.
Ozempic face can be even more noticeable in people who once had obesity, Dr. Zeichner says. “Years of excess fat often stretch the skin, so when the weight comes off, the loose skin may hang on the face, just as it can on the body,” he says.
