Ozempic Face

What is Ozempic face?

A gaunt facial appearance

Ozempic face is a term that describes the facial changes that can sometimes occur after rapid weight loss, such as a thinner appearance, looser skin, or more noticeable facial lines. Although the name references the medication Ozempic, the effect is not unique to Ozempic and can happen after significant weight loss from many causes, including diet, exercise, surgery, or other weight-loss medications. Patients, healthcare providers, journalists, and social media users often use the term as convenient shorthand for facial volume loss associated with weight loss.

Celebrity cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank popularized the term in 2023 as public interest in GLP-1 weight-loss medications grew. The term quickly spread through social media, celebrity news, and lifestyle publications, where people discussed the visible effects of rapid weight loss and cosmetic treatment options.
