But when you take Ozempic, you might also experience <a href="https://greatist.com/health/ozempic-for-weight-loss" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">weight loss</a> as a side effect. In a <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183" target="_blank" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">2021 study</a>, people who took Ozempic for over 15 months lost an average of 14.9% of their body weight.</p></div><div><p>When you <a href="https://greatist.com/health/how-to-lose-weight-fast" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">lose weight quickly</a>, it can change your facial appearance. With slower weight loss, the skin gradually contracts as fat recedes. Rapid weight loss, on the other hand, doesn’t allow for this slow, smooth transition. The potential result: excess skin that <a href="https://greatist.com/health/loose-skin-after-weight-loss" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">sags or wrinkles easily</a>. </p></div><div><p>But despite the rather ominous sound of the term “Ozempic face,” you can rest assured that using this or other semaglutide drugs won’t change your face shape or bone structure.

While we’d all probably like to laser-beam our weight loss efforts toward trouble spots like our <a href="https://greatist.com/health/how-to-get-rid-of-lower-belly-fat" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">bellies</a> or <a href="https://greatist.com/fitness/how-to-lose-inner-thigh-fat" class="content-link css-q7lbnd">thighs</a>, we can’t control the parts of the body where we lose fat. For some people, fat loss and firmness are more noticeable in the face.</p></div><div><p>With less fat underneath your skin, the signs of aging can appear more prominently on your face. After significant weight loss, you may notice that fine lines and wrinkles are more pronounced. Or, again, you might also see more noticeable sagging.

Prevention is your best bet.
