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

    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.

    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

    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 your bones definitely didn't change.

    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.
