This only happens when you loose weight too fast. Ppl who loose 100+ bls the natural way (took me 3yrs) rarely experience the same amount of saggy skin as a person who did it quickly through surgery or medication. Our skin stretches when pulled on, but it’s not a huge saggy mess like some folks who’ve had surgery or meds for a quick turn around.
Thanks for sharing your story. Yes as discussed in the full video, ppl who lose weight rapidly will see this. As opposed to weight loss that happens gradually. Great job on your weight loss journey! You will probably be more likely to keep it off also.
It’s not misleading. This has a specific look and especially for under the eyes 😂 it’s very specific. I’ve lost weight at a rabid face before and my face definitely changed and looked skinny- but I never got the under eye thing, it’s all in the eyes- nor did my cheeks sag! Infact, my face was glowing and looking healthy af because I was fasting/doing major organs herbal detoxes!
That’s exactly what I’m saying but nobody listens. There’s this myth that if you lose weight fast you get loose skin and if you lose weight slowly you don’t get loose skin. This is BS. It’s HOW you lose the weight. Losing weight by fasting means the body burns loose skin for fuel. Losing weight through exercise means you burn fat but never burn skin for fuel since your consuming plenty of protein. People just repeat what they hear but it’s not true. What you said is completely correct
Fast weight loss can result in saggy skin. However, it's important to note that there's no data on how Ozempic effects people who are not type 2v diabetic. The trials were all done on patients with pre or type 2 diabetes. It's possible there are some unknown side effects with the microbiome that are affecting the skin.
you can't target fat deposits, it's common knowledge for body fat loss to have loose skin,... why this is surprising to some people is making me facepalm smh
I'm glad this is happening. Maybe people will stop using it and I can finally get my life saving medicine!!!! It's been out of stock every time I call in for a renewal.
@NaturalInjector yeah I live in the middle of nowhere, I have to drive an hour and a half every month to go to a pharmacy that formulates. Why every month? Because even with my insurance is expensive. I donate plasma every month to afford my meds.
@NaturalInjector nope, this is currently my only option. The only pharmacy near my town (20 min away) is Walmart and they can never get it in stock. Yes I'm diabetic, it was gestational but continued. This was the medication that was working so well for me, so that's why I do what I've gotta do.
That’s what I thought too, I’ve seen others who have not taken ozempic and lost a large amount of weight quickly and still have that saggy look. Fillers or fat transfer to the face should help recover that loss.
A good rule of thumb is any amount of weight loss more than 1.5 lbs a week is too much. You have to consider weight loss from going to the bathroom as not weight loss. Like always factor that in but yeah. If you lose weight too fast then your skin will sag bc it doesnt have time to adjust
Thank you for explaining to the viewers. I try to tell people if you lose weight fast! The skin will sag. Plus everyone is judging people. You don't know who's a diabetic! Everyone not going to tell you they are diabetic because of different reasons.
Accelerated weight loss could contribute to diminished facial volume, but you can't definitively say that ONLY the rapid weight loss is causing this. We have a fairly limited understanding of the factors regulating adipogenesis in the face, and it seems like adipocytes in different areas of the body do not always behave the same. Systemically modulating the activity of a hormone like glp1 can have a lot more effects than we realize, because we simply do not have an exhaustive list of all the different tissue contexts affected by hormone signaling. I think this post is slightly too cavalier about this.
thanks for your comment. Although we do not know of all of the effects of glp1 drugs, we do know that rapid weight loss can cause volume loss the face, or just being underweight in general, which was discussed in more detail in the long video which this short is linked to.
I have a theory on what’s going on here. People who lose weight through intense exercise often have the same look to their face. Versus people who lost weight through diet with little exercise who usually don’t have this issue. Our skin is made up of basically protein. When we are in a calorie deficit, especially a protein deficit, the body will burn existing tissue for fuel. The human body is incredibly efficient at doing this. It knows to burn the least useful/totally unnecessary stuff first, and the most important tissue last, right before you die of starvation. Excess skin would obviously be not useful at all, so if you’re in a protein deficit your body will start burning excess skin for fuel. This is called autophagy. People who eat plenty of food but just do lots and lots of exercise may have excess skin for a while because they’re eating enough nutrients and protein, so there’s no reason to taking excess skin for fuel. So people on Ozempic are basically not eating very much, so they shouldn’t have this sagging skin right? But they do, and I think it’s because the drug might be effecting the way the body burns excess tissue as fuel. It’s known that Ozempic results in severe muscle loss. If your body is burning muscle for fuel because of serious calorie restriction, you shouldn’t really have an issue with excess skin. But they do. I think the drug is effecting the body’s ability to metabolize proteins from the body. The drug works by mimicking a hormone that tells your body that you’re full. Do I think that even though you’re eating very little food, you’re body never really goes into that “fasting” mode where you get all the benefits such as the body killing pre cancerous cells, consuming excess skin for fuel, detoxification, etc. In other words it’s like you’re fasting except you receive none of the benefits of a fast (except weight loss.) You lose muscle rapidly (because you’re barely eating) but you hold on to excess skin because your body always thinks you just ate, so no need for autophagy ever. I still think it’s probably way better to take Ozempic and lost weight, but i don’t think I’d want to be on it forever. Take it, get to a healthy weight, and then get off it and maintain the weight.
@@joshmiller2725 very good insightful comment. I agree I would not want to be on it forever either. I think we will learn more with time about other effects of this drug
lose weight at a steady pace using diet, exercise, regular sleep, and minimizing stress levels. avoid rapid weight loss (don’t use Ozempic or other Semaglutide analogs for weight loss)
The first 2 women look better… the third woman🥴 I’ve lost and gained weight throughout the years basically yo-yo dieting and this is mostly an issue after 50. My face has always looked BETTER after losing weight
No. Your body needs fats , oils, protein, etc. When you induce starvation, you loose weight AND muscle.. and collagen.. and everything your body NEEDS. You are aging yourself. Does take the meds.
It’s good when used as intended like most prescriptions. When used for weight loss you will get the side effects of quick weight loss. When used for actual diabetic treatment, you don’t have this problem
