Smooth,
plump cheeks and wrinkle-free foreheads are the features that are most
associated with plastic surgery, which is why celebrities are so
obsessed with it. Now, a new look is emerging in Hollywood: sunken eyes,
gaunt cheeks, and saggy skin. Plastic surgeons are now sounding the
alarm, pointing to the rise in popularity of the weight-loss drug
Ozempic. In fact, the side effect has been dubbed “Ozempic face.” Famous
reality star Scott Disick scared fans last month with his dramatic new
look, but a number of other celebrities appear to be suffering from the
same side effect. More than 9 million prescriptions for Ozempic have
been written in the past 3 months, as the drug has taken the U.S. by
storm. Ozempic face is harder to tell with women because they’re more
likely to use fillers and to cover up imperfections with makeup.
Surgeons say that weight loss almost always highlights more lines and
wrinkles, but Ozempic face is not typical of normal weight loss results.
Dr. Nicholas Jones of Atlanta, Ga., pointed out the tell-tale signs on
the face of Sharon Osbourne, who has admitted to using Ozempic. “When
you look at the earlier photo, her face is much fuller and has more
volume. When I look at the later photo, her eyes, her face, is more
sunken, her cheeks are not as full. Her face looks a little emaciated,
actually, like she’s been starving.” It’s doubtful that Hollywood
celebrities will heed the warnings of plastic surgeons, as they have
become accustomed to doing everything they can to look good, and not
worrying about much else. Still, doctors are warning that Ozempic should
not be used by anyone who isn't a diabetic.
