“Ozempic Face" is taking over Hollywood !

Who on earth is that ghoul on the right?

Oshempic fashe

R1 that’s the remains of jessica simpson

The guy on the right looks like Scott Disick, one of the discarded Kardashian sperm donors.

POZ face is the new hot look for the summer!

Murdoch NY Post intern at it again; getting clicks and SEO for people who hate gays

R6 take your schizophrenic meds

R6 yeah they care about the 26 regular posters left here

They chose their ass over their face, big mistake as you age. Now they have neither ass nor face.

R3 Your other right.

Lol they lose their fat which won’t come back and are stuck with the fillers

Ozempic face is not a thing. Your face changes if you lose weight. Shocker.

R12 except they didn’t just lose weight, they took Ozempic and lost all their fat

R12 au contraire.... just like gastric surgery face is a thing, so is Ozempic face. It's shockingly aging.

[quote]R12] except they didn’t just lose weight, they took Ozempic and lost all their fat

How is that different than losing weight?

AIDS FACE

I did it first, bitches.

John Goodman lost 200 lbs. and wants us to believe it wasn't Ozempic?

That's because it is Scott Disick, r4.

Jessica Simpson looks like a trout

Jessica and Scott look really bad. John Goodman lost too much, also but I think he may have had surgery.

Why is John Goodman lumped in? He started losing weight like 10 years ago and was already slim in 2017 before anybody heard of the drug. What is he, the first fucking human test subject? He doesn’t even have Ozempic face.

John Goodman needs better dentures. The ones he has don't fit him right and makes him talk rather strangely.

Jessica Simpson and the one with the AIDS look are proof that you can be too thin. It has little to do with Ozempic.

[quote]Jessica Simpson and the one with the AIDS look are proof that you can be too thin.

Lies!

Sunken 👁 , they look ill

Will this replace "gayface" as DL's new "-face" obsession?

Disick looks severely sleep deprived.

O-O-O-zempic Face O-O-zempic Face O-O-O-zempic Face O-O-zempic Face

I heard a doctor on the ABC in Australia talking about this, and he said it's true, Ozempic does tend to cause premature facial ageing. But they are not yet sure whether it's something endemic in the drug or just the result of a lot of weight loss, which may be more pronounced if you lose it fast or are already an older person when you begin weight loss. It is certainly true that people who have had bariatric surgery often get a similar look.

The Liza stuff is incredibly cutting edge and funneee!

Oshempic? I slept with him in the 80s!

It’s a side effect to weight loss regardless of how it was achieved. Just like you can’t spot reduce fat, you can’t choose where to keep it when it comes off. Unfortunately, both the face and butt will deflate along with your moobs, gut and love handles. When you’re older, your skin is less elastic, so you’re left with sagging. Duh.

exactly r33. Once you are over a certain age, weight loss comes with sagging skin.

I’m on it for almost a year and wish I could gain a bit of Ozempic face. I’ve always had naturally fat cheeks. I’d love to see some hollowing out.

Keep that evil poison away from meee!

"The Rev" Al Sharpton is exhibit A of losing a lot of weight and being left with a sagging face.

Scott is on pills. That’s not Ozempic, that’s Opioids

I lost a lot of weight fairly quickly not on ozempic and it is aging bigtime, everyone is used to you fat and big, and then no more fat and you look old, my butt sags atbthevbotyom now and I have the beginnings of a turkey neck, but my BP is not 200+ and hopefully diabetes is not imminent I hope, it could still happen though. Yes I have AIDS/ozempic face and I actually have AIDS!!!

It is not like when I got dx with HIV though, I lost down to 114 lbs, that was not good.

Ozempic will never make you look as young and vibrant as plastic surgery!

Fattie problems are no problems at all

Remaining thin amd in shape is the best solution

Ozempic face my ass….

How about PUSSYFACE?!!

What happens when you combine gayface and Ozempicface?

My friend and I always say we can tell who has weight loss surgery because their face usually looks dead after like Al Roker

R31 I enjoy it.

The more vain people will be forced up endure injections of filler and Botox only to look worse!

R31 Miss M. sez...

I lost 40 lbs. during Covid by watching what I ate and walking two miles every day. And I was 62-63? I did [bold]not[/bold] get wrinkles [bold]or[/bold] "Ozempic face." If you lose weight slowly and in a healthy way, your face won't sag the way it does when you lose a lot all-at-once.

IMHO...

R43 Smelling snackwells?

Ozempic eats away muscle mass

Ozempic doesn’t eat away muscle mass by itself. It’s simply the combination of patients not eating enough protein and instituting resistance training that leads to muscle loss. It’s such an effective appetite suppressant that you have to force yourself to eat.

R37, No need for quotation marks. He is legitimately the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Can't wait for 5 or 10 years from now when we look back on the Ozempic drug crisis.

Scott Disick looks strung out. I see rehab in his near future.

[quote] My friend and I always say we can tell who has weight loss surgery because their face usually looks dead after

Well, that and that they're down a 100 pounds in six months after a lifetime of fattitude.

[QUOTE] Can't wait for 5 or 10 years from now when we look back on the Ozempic drug crisis.

5-10 years from now Ozempic and competing drugs will be in pill form and more readily available to a much wider base of customers. This is only the beginning. If anything we’ll be looking back wondering why we ever injected it.

It’s true that every celeb I’ve seen on Ozempic looks older. It’s not just the loss of fat but something with the skin. And in some cases, hair thinning/falling out.

The reason why heavier people tend to look younger than they are face-wise. When you lose the weight in your face, the skin will sag because the skin in your face is attached to the skeletal muscles but the muscles are not attached to the skull.

What?

r59 fat face = stretched skin. Lose the weight the skin sags on the muscles it is attached to.

[quote]The reason why heavier people tend to look younger than they are face-wise.

The reason why heavier people tend to look younger than they are IS face-wise.

Why is nobody, especially among celebrities, talking about how Ozempic and its ilk wreak havoc with digestive systems?

I wonder if Ozempic and the like will put a dent in the bariatric surgery business.

[quote] Can't wait for 5 or 10 years from now when we look back on the Ozempic drug crisis.

Oh honey. You're pushing 85 now. You're not going to be around to see anything then.

Physical fitness expert Jillian Michaels was on Bill Maher this weekend, describing the dangers and risks of taking Ozempic, Wgovy, etc. If I had any notion of taking this for weight loss, I'm convinced how wrong it is after listening to her and the research she studied. As she said early on - the 'secret' to losing weight is to eat less and move more.

You're basically full of shit all the time when you take this stuff.

What latest workout or book was she hawking?

Jillian Michaels is neither a doctor nor a nutrition scientist. I don't think she even has a bachelor degree.

I can't recall because they talked more about Maher's new book coming out in May.

I’m sure Maher was eating it all up as he’s quick to denounce anything coming from Big Pharma.

r68 Jillian has certificates in nutrition, a degree, has written several books, and has been successful in taking huge amounts of weight off of people. I trust her more than big pharma, anyday.

r48 - Some people have naturally more elastic skin than others. No getting stretch marks and cellulite is much less visible. The genetic lottery.

There HAS to be an Olympics-Ozempic tie-in this summer.

"You may not make the Olympics, but get closer than you've ever been with Ozempic."

Scott looks like what Jared Leto would look like if he didn’t bathe in the blood of virgins.

Wow, 2 whole people don’t look so good.

Must be a society-wide problem

r65 Jillian is not the greatest expert to go to. She was known for forcing her contestants on The Biggest Loser to take laxatives and unhealthy supplements as well as horrible diet schemes to get them to lose weight fast.

OH... oh .... OooHHHH.... O Zombiec !!

r76, except none of that is true. I follow Jillian and listen to her podcast. She spoke out against the producers of TBL and they started a smear campaign against her. The only thing she did was provide them with caffeine supplements which she uses.

Jillian knows her stuff. When I started losing weight, I listened to her podcasts and found some really great tips that I applied to my own journey and they helped. She calls bullshit out when she sees it and one of the things she's stated time and again about Ozempic is that it is unsafe and at some point, people plateau on it. She says if she believed in it, she would be making money off it. One of the doctors who attacked her views on Ozempic, just recanted and said he no longer agrees that it is safe.

You may think Jillian is a bitch and she would be the first to tell you that's a fair criticism but the truth is, she started calling out the show runners on TBL and thought they were doing things to the contestants that were unfair and abusive and they shut her down and took her off the show. She said Bob Harper had no issue doing abusive things to the people and she called him out, too. Jillian has my respect and her methods work, regardless of your personal feelings.

[quote] She says if she believed in it, she would be making money off it.

Is this person a medical practitioner who can prescribe medications? If she isn’t, she can’t make money off it,

Ozempic is probably a bad idea for weight loss in the general public. AND Jillian has no appropriate academic credentials and no business dispensing medical advice and advising about pharmaceuticals. BOTH THINGS CAN BE TRUE.

Why do people have such strong opinions about Ozempic? There seems to be a contingent of DLers who are very critical and seem to want to bring it down. Flip side, there's a contingent who are oddly defensive about anything negative said about it.

Jessica Simpson has always looked like a drag queen to me. Even more so now I'd say.

In OP’s photo, that’s Klaus Kinski at left, correct?

R75, So we should wait for that?

R68, Do people need degrees to read studies?

To the proponents I say, "Good luck with the odds."

Jessica Simpson's face has gotten so small, it looks like it's collapsing upon itself. It also looks exactly like one of those caricatures that you pay for at an amusement park or county fair. You can just imagine the teeny stick-like body they would draw to go with her big-yet-caving-in face.

Clearly, she doesn't read DL because I told her months ago she was already skinny enough and needed to stop with the Ozempic already. She'll turn into a black hole if she continues using it.

Trans outrage threads are being replaced by Ozempic threads.

[quote]Is this person a medical practitioner who can prescribe medications? If she isn’t, she can’t make money off it,

Are you for real ? She's a popular TV personality of the past 20 years, known for helping people lose weight and become physically fit. She could make plenty of money off it if she worked out a deal with the manufacturer to endorse it and they could use quotes from her promoting it. You don't have to be a medical practitioner to make money off of this .

Kelly Osbourne DENIES Ozempic use after defending weight loss drugs... and reveals how she really dropped 85 POUNDS after baby

Sharon Osbourne looks like an evil leprechaun.

I miss the Star Jones days (2005-06) when she said she dropped all her weight before her wedding to Al by cutting out cookies and doing a few sit-ups. Suddenly she lost a couple of hundred pounds.

Melissa McCarthy is on it now and her face is looking weird

John Goodman added dentures to the mix. His face looks completely busted.

Maybe it’s because of his character on the Gemstones but John Goodman strikes me as not such a nice guy in reality

Has Chrissy Metz discovered Ozempic yet?

r94 ^^ nope.

Also wonder when we'll be hearing the "Lizzo has lost xx lbs by adding a brisk 5 mile walk every day and making some significant changes in her vegan diet!" story.

R94, maybe?

Christy Metz is the proverbial "She has such a pretty face" overweight chick.

Fatties such as Chrissy Melissa won't be recognisable after radical weight loss. They are mature women and their faces have been filled with fat for decades.

Some shape face age better than others. For example, people who have heart-shaped faces seem to look more youthful for longer.

R99, correct

And people with long, horsey faces tend to look older

R100 You're referring to Sarah Jessica Parker, aren't you ? Tell the truth....

What about DL fav Lens? She's still big like a house?

Scott Disick is NOT on Ozempic, he’s just preparing for a new role as Rasputin

George Conway has been dropping weight, I assume he is on the O

[quote] Trans outrage threads are being replaced by Ozempic threads.

Will Ozempic make my adam's apple smaller?

Chrissy Metz looks like a super morbidly obese Princess Kate.

I wonder if the celebs regained some or all of the weight, if their faces could be salvaged.

I dearly love her, and think she's a DL Fave but check out Kathy Bates:

R64 No, I'm not, but you're fat.

Kathy Bates is 75 and I think she is aging naturally. She is one of our best actresses.

R108 Ugh. Kathy's "Matlock" trailer looks like it stole so much from her old 2 season NBC show "Harry's Law".

R110, r108 doesn't look anything like her.

R108 - she has more powder on her face than Ann Miller.

I lost 85lbs. It took a year and I look fucking great. Jillian Michaels is talking out her over coloniced ass.

R114 What did you weigh before you lost 85 lbs?

I am on ozempic and gained 10 pounds.

R114, Kudos! 👍👏

r114, I've lost 85 lbs without Ozempic and by following Jillian's advice. What is your point?

Is Ozempic head a thing? Or is someone disqualified if they've always had a horsehead?

It’s curiously hard to find examples of people who lost and then regained weight on these GLP G-1 RA (Glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist) medications.

One extra thing that would concern me is the ability to absorb medication through your intestines if foods move slower through them.

I’d also watch for any longer term changes in liver function. And I would be really curious to understand if these meds could cause a loss in structural body tissue. By that I mean fat cells that pad and protect organs from trauma. I heard a new story about automobile accident fatalities increasing after high speed crashes due to internal damage to the structures that hold and stabilize vital organs.

You may end up with a thin body. But if that body’s internal architecture is more fragile and less resilient, we may see other conditions arise. I would be really focused on things like the muscles of the heart, and the long term function of the small and large intestine. I would also be afraid to eat food that could begin to break down and spoil inside my digestive tract. I see this creeping uncertainty when dining with people on these meds. Their relationship with food is really strange and complex because they are somewhat “estranged” from their digestive systems. I see people take only tiny amounts of simpler foods, and(one really weird example) eating only the garnish on a plate, and visiting the restroom three or four times during meals.

I know they studied these potentials before authorizing these drugs, but still I can think of so many examples of medications that got “Black Box” warnings and then discontinued because, oops, we discover dangerous side effects over time.

R118 - No. No, you didn't.

R109 - Sure, if a BMI of 22.5 is fat. Specifically, I'm 5'9" and weigh 151 with a 44" chest and a 34" waist.

You still type elderly.

But if that body’s internal architecture is more fragile and less resilient, we may see other conditions arise

My kidney numbers have improved. A dr wrote on my chart that I had Stage 3 chronic kidney disease. My creatinine has been high (as high as 1.8) and my glomerular filtration rate has been slow. It needs to be 60 or above. At one point mine was 28. GFR has been low since early 2020. Creatine has been high since at least 2018.

My creatine has been normal since I started semaglutide. It’s 0.82. My GFR is 70.

I had been sent to a hematologist because of high wbc in 2018. He never figured out what it was. My pulmonologist said it might be my mild lung disease)… it’s normal now and so is my diff (I was out of whack in all - basophils, eosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils). All normal now. I had a slightly elevated platelet coun5 but I was recovering from the flu.

My liver panel is normal.

I’ve had a high C Reactive Protein since at least 2014. Again, nobody knew why. Since taking semaglutide it’s normal. That’s at least 10 years of inflammation that’s no longer there.

My doc say Eli Lily is looking into the kidney benefits. They’ve noticed renal improvement in lots of people

Apologies for my typos. I need my covfefe

Glad my insurance won't cover this then. I'll just have my jaw wired shut!

Seriously though, I am considering the balloon. It's non-surgical and has to be removed after 6 months.

I know each metabolic profile is unique, and positive outcomes like R123 are very promising. I suspect that these meds are becoming a key to a very fast path to a healthier weight range. Staying in that range without these meds may be a challenge to address in 60 weeks, when the meds typically stop working. Maybe these early adopters are pioneers in that they are navigating these newer interventions early in the life cycle of these medications.

It’s a really interesting thread topic. I appreciate the responses above, and Datalounge for presenting a space for this discourse. I really do.

Being fat kills. "Move more" is not an easy plan to follow if you're morbidly obese. What ozempic does is that it is a very effective appetite suppressant, and on top of it, if you eat more than you should, you get violently sick. It's obviously wrong when people who are already slkm are taking it. It's a whole new breed of anorexic people.

[quote] Staying in that range without these meds may be a challenge to address in 60 weeks, when the meds typically stop working

I’ve been on them since January 2023. I’m now on maintenance, which I take every 2 weeks. They haven’t stopped working, I’ve maintained my weight since October 2023.

I don’t mind taking a medication every two weeks. I have to take arthritis medication twice a day and I take blood pressure medication every day (some people can stop taking BP medication when they reach their goal weight. I am not one of them despite my BMI being 22. But my BP is controlled with meds, so I don’t worry about it)

Mindy Kaling is pregnant, curious what happens to her now when she goes off the Ozempic.

[quote] Staying in that range without these meds may be a challenge to address in 60 weeks, when the meds typically stop working.

As a diabetic, I've been on Ozempic now for closing in on three years. Hasn't stopped working, but over that length of time it's also gotten me to a healthy weight and also healthier eating habits. I credit Ozempic with probably the first 50 lbs I lost, and better diet/exercise with the last 30 lbs.

R122 I guess I don't understand why you gave me the "oh honey" bit and attacked me. I just made a statement that in a decade we might see that Ozempic causes medical problems we're not aware of now. I didn't get why you thought that made me sound like I was 85. I'm 65, btw.

They’re also checking into if semaglutide tamps down inflammation of cardiovascular disease.

Scott Disick's dug of choice is Ozempic. Seems legit.

Scott D looks like he's on heroin, not the O. He looks positively ghoulish.

R131 -

1. This is an anonymous site. Nothing is personal.

2. It was mostly a joke because...

3. The elderly generally hate anything new that challenges long-held conventions. 85 was an exaggeration to drive the point.

Does anyone know if Ozempic is a lifetime plan, or you just take it til you lose the lard then maintain a healthy, active lifestyle? My friend says you have to stay on it forever.

r136 it's been described both ways from what i've heard. One way it's described is that it will have to be used "for life," but other sources say it's been used as a way to lose the weight, then can be used in a "maintenance way."

Probably at this point, it's really too soon for anyone to know that, as Ozempic was originally studied (and used) for management (and reversal) of Type II Diabetes. The use of it for weight loss is a much more recent thing, so it's doubtful they have enough history/data to know for sure.

I suspect initially you use the dose that helps you lose weight, then once you've reached your target weight, decrease the dose down to a level where you can maintain the weight.

R138 how marvellously clever you are! I could never imagine it would work like that!

R135 I disagree that because it's an anonymous site, nothing is personal. If it was meant for me, it's personal, not general.

I don't hate anything new that challenges long held conventions, and what I said didn't indicate that I do. It had to do with the fact that fad medicines sometimes prove problematic down the line. The fact that I'm aware of that isn't a product of my age.
