Is This New Drug Turning Hollywood Stars’ Faces Into Zombies?

The weight-loss drug Ozempic has taken Hollywood by storm in the last several years.

Celebrities such as Oprah, Amy Schumer, Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler, the Kardashians, and more have all taken the “miracle” weight loss drug.

There’s a major problem, though.

Many celebrities who have taken the drug have gotten “Ozempic Face” as a consequence of taking a shortcut to lose weight.

According to doctors, Ozempic face is when ‘We see a loss of volume in the face, and when we lose fat in the face, we see signs like the cheeks are more sunken in, more sagging skin and a general hollowing out of the features.”

Scott Disick, who starred in the show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has one of the worst cases of Ozempic face.

Here’s a comparison of what he looks like now and what he looked like before taking the drug:

Check out what The Daily Mail reported:

Smooth, plump cheeks. Wrinkle-free foreheads.

These are the features we’ve become accustomed to among celebrities obsessed with Botox and filler.

But a new look is emerging in Hollywood: sunken in eyes, gaunt cheeks and saggy skin.

Experts say it is due to the rise in popularity of weight-loss drugs. The side effect has been dubbed ‘Ozempic face’.

Famous lothario Scott Disick scared fans last month with his dramatic new look — but a number of other celebs appear to be suffering from the same issue.

Dr Smita Ramanadham, a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, told DailyMail.com: ‘Ozempic face is essentially the same characteristics that we see when patients have rapid or regular weight loss.

‘We see a loss of volume in the face, and when we lose fat in the face we see signs like the cheeks are more sunken in, more sagging skin and a general hollowing out of the features.

‘Sometimes, it can have the effect of actually making a person look older — because the fat in our cheeks is what gives us a more youthful look.’

Per The New York Post:

Why the long face? Ozempic.

Amid the weight loss treatment’s skyrocketing popularity, surgeons believe that Hollywood is experiencing a spike in the side effect known as “Ozempic Face.”

Several doctors claimed to the Daily Mail that celebs from John Goodman to Sharon Osborne are among those hit hardest by the alleged condition.

For the uninitiated, some side effects of taking Ozempic include sunken eyes, gaunt cheeks and saggy skin, often making the user appear older and more deflated.

“Ozempic face is essentially the same characteristics that we see when patients have rapid or regular weight loss,” Dr. Smita Ramanadham, a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, told the Daily Mail. “We see a loss of volume in the face, and when we lose fat in the face we see signs like the cheeks are more sunken in, more sagging skin and a general hollowing out of the features.”
