In this video, I will share with you the science behind these “new miracle drugs” - Ozempic and Wegovy and whether you can get an unusual appearence called 'Ozempic Face'. These are both a drug called semaglutide, and work by mimicking the effects of a hormone called (GLP-1) in the body, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels and aids in weight loss.
Ozempic was given to Diabetes patients, and after reports of considerable weight loss, the same laboratory created Wegovy, the same medication but a version made for non-diabetes to lose weight. People taking Ozempic/ Wegovy have reported these Unusual symptoms:
- A hollowed-out appearance on their face
- More wrinkles and lines across, making them look older
- Loose and saggy skin
And we hear all over the media the so-called “ozempic face”. However, its more of a side effect of losing weight quickly, here is why...
When we lose weight, we start to lose the stores of fat around the body (the classic belly fat), but we also lose fat around organs and across our face. If the weight loss occurs very quickly, our skin may not have enough time to adjust to the changes in our body, causing loose, sagging skin, especially in areas where there was a lot of fat or muscle mass before the weight loss. This would occur to anyone going to a sudden loss of weight and is not linked to a specific side effect of a drug.

Hello! I haven’t ever taken Ozempic or anything, but I went from 200 pounds to 130 at 5”4 and it took me 2 years to get there and as a result I have very minimal loose skin. I think the speed of weight loss definitely impacts the skin

@dd1984mm 6 дней назад

You went the proper route. 1-2lbs/wk is recommended by medical professionals. Losing it too quickly will also affect one's cells, but that's a whole other video.

@evi7039 4 месяца назад

There is a difference between losing excessive protein or excessive fat. The problem is that with Ozempic you lose more muscle than for example with fasting. Losing weight with Ozempic will definitely cause saggy skin and visible muscle loss. Losing weight with water fasting will have non of those effects because the body removes the excess tissue (skin) by turning on autophagy and the muscle loss is negligible as in a ketogenic state fat is the primary fuel not protein.

@shamancat8469 Год назад

As a doctor, I'd think you would retire the phrase "ozempic face". It's perpetuating the false narrative that this drug causes this effect when it is simply from the rapid weight loss. Many people could and are benefiting from Semaglutide. "Ozempic face" is just a buzz word.

@doctorkhalid Год назад

Literally that's the whole point of the video, to make people who search 'ozempic face' be aware that it related to fast wt loss

You don't need drugs to lose weight. Just cut out processed foods, white carbs, sugars and do some exercise. Eat lots of vegetables, seafood, and excellent quality meat in moderation. Top up with some supplements if needed. Losing too much weight and quickly will cause anyone's face to look drawn. Do some facial exercises every day to build muscles/tone your face. People don't do this, but our ancestors understood this. There is a culture of taking a pill for everything in the west, you need to deal with the source not the symptom.

This problem doesn't only apply to ozempic. When I started insulin my face started to change, sunken in cheeks flabby neck, unusual aging. 500 blood sugar is better than numerous side effects insulin causes. Diet and exercise is the only cure for diabetes.

In addition to strength training, healthy diet and slower weightloss, how can you help prevent excess skin when starting a weightloss journey at 50+? Would it help to up collagen intake, protein and water, too? Or is it a losing battle?

@Nurse_Shelly44 Год назад

Thank you for the video and explanation. There is a reality television star who has a large forehead that I believe is fat if I understand correctly. In that instance, does the fat get redistributed, and avoid the loose skin? I'm asking because I'm 44yo and have always had full aka "chipmunk" cheeks, despite my BMI. I'd like to avoid any sagging or loose skin. I'm seeing a physician in a few weeks to discuss Ozempic for me.

@amylynnhunt55 Год назад

I was told I had chipmunk cheeks at 22. I'm 5"6 and weighed 115 and less then. Then suddenly I had cheek bones in my 30s. My very obese Aunt is so excited to "always look young" because she's always weighed 400 pounds. Can't we just be healthy, look our age? At 44, we sag, it's gravity. If your weight loss is more gradual, I don't think there's as much saggy skin, however.

@Nurse_Shelly44 Год назад

@amylynnhunt55 Good point. I'm fine with aging, but hearing about facial changes, I was a bit nervous. When meeting with the MD, we discussed gradual weight-loss and dietary habits to lose gradually. I'm still on the fence and doing some research about starting ozempic.

I figured ozempic face came from yes, quick weight loss, but also perhaps not enough nutrition. If it cuts down on the desire to eat then maybe people are not eating enough and not getting all the vitamins and minerals they need to have healthey skin and muscles which makes their face look bad.

Exercise and healthy eating are so beneficial for mental health too. There are meds that take the place of exercise and a healthy diet both physically and mentally, and too many people opt for the pharma option over the natural healthy lifestyle option, despite the many negative side effects and the fact that lifestyle changes are actually way more beneficial. I used to tell everyone that weight loss is a cure for type 2 diabetes, but pharma can't make money off of someone just losing a little weight, so a lot of people don't know that. Pharma went and made a liar out of me.

@joker6558 Месяц назад

Why not both? The drugs can help the issue of grehlin while making healthy lifestyle changes. I used ozempic while also changing my diet to a flexible calorie counting and protein intake, resistance training, and cardio, and I’ve kept those up after going off and was able to maintain my weight. Without the ozempic, I would have had an extremely hard time with the calorie deficit. Some people have good willpower but food is a difficult thing for me to handle psychologically, and since being on it, it’s pretty much rewired the way I think about food in a more permanent way. I don’t think there is anything wrong with doing both. It’s not binary

With all due respect, I've seen several people get Ozimpic Face (inluding my sister, a close cousin, and 3 co-workers) and I swear, it's NOT like you'd see with normal, fast, weight loss (and the weight loss I'm seeing isn't even that fast!). It's absolutely shocking! I believe it's going to be discovered that the drug itself is causing severe changes in the collagen, fat and elasticity of the skin, most noticeably (or even, most focused on) the face. I'm talking, gray, sagging, old person skin. It (seriously) looks like someone went through theatrical makeup to drastically change their age, and I'm not kidding!! I wouldn't touch that stuff. It's too new, and there are no long term studies yet. Don't be a lab rat! People are always looking for a magic pill, but it ALWAYS comes down to eating right (with less carbs and fats), and exercising more. Calories in vs. Calories out.

@marijaco4146 Год назад

Weight loss is not that simple for people. In my opinion ozempic represses your appetite which is like a dream but I definitely agree with you ozempic face is not the same as regular weight loss face.

@yeverett4533 Год назад

What you've said is true. The changes in people's faces are not the same as quick weight loss with diet and exercise. I lost a lot of weight over a 6-week period and my face slimmed down some but I didn't not look like I had aged 10-15 years. Ozempic is a relatively new drug with long-term side effects that are unknown. I discouraged my family and friends from taking it, I tell them to wait at least another 10 years before they do instead of being guinea pigs.

I was noticing this in friends and family, way before I ever heard that others were noticing, or that it had a name and appears to be a common side effect. If you want to be a lab rat and take the Magic Juice (fantasy) for weight loss (or the ones for certain illness prevention), go right ahead! - your body, your health, your choice, and your life should you choose to roll the dice. Just remember that you're taking a risk that may not be worth it, and the long term studies are usually 10-15 years, so the damage will be done, before they pull it from the shelves. The fact of the matter is, there's no magic potion. As with everything in life, success depends on a goal, determination, and hard work. Take care! ❤️

The drug just helps get the weight off faster. If you take the drug and stay lazy, dont get the help with the addiction, and and come off the drug.

The side effects are nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea so you basically feel sick all the time and can’t eat or vomit and shiiii out the food you did eat and being pregnant 4 times going through this just the first couple months was a nightmare and the energy drain could barely walk around the house! NOPE 👎 people should leave this drug to the people that it was made for and for God sakes what have we humans become ! We want a drug for everything and the easy way! What happened to exercise and just watch how much you eat ! I can’t exercise as much as I did due to some injuries and the many surgeries after one of my combat missions, but every time I want to stuff my face full with the processed foods packed with sugars and other things that are made to makes us eat more of it so we keep buying more of it I remember when I was a young girl starting to worry about my figure 😂 I was 5’8 and weighed 120 to 135 lbs my whole life until my big injury at 39 and thought I was fat smh 🤦‍♀️ anyways back then I was on diets etc and my grandma use to tell me eat all the food groups but EAT HALF OF EVERYTHING! Now at 52 i weigh 185 and that’s a little over what I should be but now more then ever I have to eat like my gma use to tell me as I can’t burn it out as I use to but I do the minimum of walking on my bad days when my body hurts from my choice in life to go join the military and get blown up. People please 🙏 don’t torture your selves with these drugs just to lose weight and please 🙏 use this drug if you have the health issues that it was originally made for as I have watched one of my neighbors bee holed off to the ER she wasn’t feeling hungry anymore and couldn’t eat anymore and now needs help from doctors to just eat.
