Ozempic and Weight Loss

Ozempic, originally designed to help Type 2 diabetes patients regulate their blood sugar and manage appetite, has gained attention for significant weight loss as a side effect. This has led to the rise of the terms “Ozempic butt” and “Ozempic face,” referring to loose skin resulting from rapid weight loss.

Expert Opinion

Weight Management Specialist Dan Burton explained that loose skin is a normal reaction to significant weight loss, regardless of the method.

“If a person goes on Ozempic and they lose enough weight, they can develop loose skin. However, it is not Ozempic that is causing it specifically, it’s the loss of a significant amount of weight that leads to loose skin,” he clarified.
