““I see it every day in my office,” said Dr. Frank, who said he coined the term “Ozempic face” to describe the condition. “A 50-year-old patient will come in, and suddenly, she’s super-skinny and needs filler, which she never needed before.”

“In addition to other side effects, however, losing weight can make the face look old and gaunt, a sympton increasingly known among users and some doctors as "Ozempic face."”

“Plastic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Levine confirmed the observation: "Rapid weight loss also reduces the fullness of the facial skin, but it also affects the protein molecules from collagen in the connective tissue and the stretchable elastin of the skin. An ozempic face may appear malnourished, deflated and sagging."”
