GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic could almost have a magical effect on the body with average weight loss ranging from 15% to 20%. This significant weight loss can also lower chronic disease risk from heart conditions to Alzheimer's disease. However, there are some concerning side effects of these medications that are starting to emerge.
While Ozempic and other weight loss drugs may give you an edge in your weight loss journey, rapid weight loss can also lead to a few unpleasant consequences. By now, many people have heard terms like Ozempic face, Ozempic butt, and even Ozempic personality. The latest to join the list is Ozempic mouth, a strange new side effect affecting the area around the mouth. Let's break down what it means.
Ozempic face is when one loses fat rapidly in the face which can lead to a hollowed look to the face, changes in the size of the lips, cheeks, and chin, wrinkles on the face, sunken eyes, and sagging jowls around the jaw and neck.
Ozempic mouth
Ozempic on one hand can give you a youthful appearance by helping shed those pesky pounds. On the other hand, however, the drug can also result in loose and sagging skin due to rapid fat loss, making you look older than you are.
Dr Ed Robinson while talking to The Sun observed that while Ozempic is effective at tackling weight loss, losing so much weight so quickly can have an impact on one's appearance.
"With such rapid weight loss, we’re increasingly seeing aesthetic side effects - notably ‘Ozempic face’, ‘Ozempic neck’, and now, what’s being referred to as ‘Ozempic mouth’.
How Ozempic mouth may look like
"Ozempic mouth describes the hollowing and skin laxity that can occur around the mouth as fat is lost from the lower face.
"This can lead to deeper nasolabial folds (laughter lines), more prominent marionette lines (the vertical wrinkles that extend from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin), and downturned corners of the mouth.
"It often creates a tired or prematurely aged appearance."
People who have lost a significant amount of weight on Ozempic could especially get this appearance as the skin struggles to keep up with the changing facial structure.
He pointed out that 'Ozempic mouth' actually refers to changes in the parts of your face around the mouth rather than the mouth itself.
For instance it could give you 'sunken cheeks, saggy jowls, deeper lines around the mouth' and give you an appearance of an old person.
However, in certain cases, losing weight can confer exceptional benefits and offer protection from chronic disease.
