Britons taking GLP-1 weight loss injections could face the unwanted side effect of 'Ozempic face' - a phenomenon causing rapid facial ageing, sagging skin, and hollow cheeks that has left celebrities and ordinary users alike seeking cosmetic solutions.
The term 'Ozempic face' was coined by US dermatologist Dr Paul Jarrod Frank to describe the distinctive hollow, aged appearance that develops when rapid weight loss strips away facial fat faster than skin can adapt. This leaves users with sunken cheeks, pronounced wrinkles, loose jowls, and a gaunt, deflated look that can make them appear years older.
