BARRIERFIRST
What people mean by “Ozempic face.”
If you have noticed more hollow-looking cheeks, deeper lines, or skin that feels newly dry and tight after losing weight, you may have heard this phrase.
“Ozempic face” is informal—not a diagnosis—but the concern behind it is understandable. Rapid weight loss can change facial volume and make wrinkles, looseness, and dryness look more noticeable. It is not unique to one medication.
