I’ve always looked much younger than my age. Genetics surely played a role, but being on the plumper side was definitely helpful. That was until I decided to lose weight with the help of Mounjaro, the GLP-1 prescription weight loss drug.
At the beginning of my journey, I was incredibly excited about the prospect of fitting into my old size 12 clothes and feeling more comfortable and confident in my body. So, the effects that losing weight might have on my skin were the furthest thing from my mind. I didn’t notice any changes at first. In fact, after shedding a few stone and dropping from a size 18 to a 14, my cheekbones had re-merged, and my jaw began to look a little more chiselled too. It wasn’t until I got closer to my current size 6 frame that I noticed that I was suffering from ‘Ozempic face’.
