This gums up the works.
Hollywood celebrities using popular weight loss drug Ozempic to shred those unwanted pounds are now facing an unexpected new side effect dubbed “Ozempic mouth,” according to a report.
Users of the hottest prescription drug in Tinseltown, including Sharon Osbourne, Whoopie Goldberg, and Rebel Wilson, are showing signs of the distinctive side effect linked to rapid facial weight loss from a higher dose of the GLP-1 medication, a New York-based cosmetic dermatologist told the DailyMail.com
“Many users of Ozempic who I know report noticeable volume loss in the face, which can result in the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls around the mouth,” Dr. Michele Green said.
“This volume loss can also worsen the appearance of existing fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity contributing to a more aged smile and overall look.”
Green said the condition is marked by pronounced folds at the corners of the mouth, noticeable wrinkles on the lips, and sagging skin along the lip contours and chin area.
But those alarmed by their appearance are now turning to cosmetic treatments – such as dermal fillers – to restore lost volume around the mouth area.

The latest fallout from the buzzed-about pound-shedding drug is related to the dreaded symptom known as “Ozempic face,” where users are exhibiting sunken features and drooping skin.
Other reported symptoms of the weight-slimming drug include what’s being called “Ozempic feet,” a troubling side effect characterized by pronounced skin laxity on the tops of users’ feet.

Time for Whoopi to grow back the beard.
You counter this by eating Twinkies and little Debbies so as to not lose too much weight.
Isn’t this normal, sagging skin when losing weight!!!
You mean when you lose weight, you get loose skin?
Over the past couple of years, I’ve lost about 80 pounds. My belly looks like it melted. LOL
So many people spend their time looking at others and judging. It’s sad.
Or you could just watch what you eat and do some exercise
Has anyone noticed how thin Moochelle has gotten. I wonder if she is on Ozempic?
That's what I believe it is.
Let’s hope it seals Whoopee’s mouth shut. It can’t make her any uglier
It’s from losing weight too fast before your skin has time to contract.
“Or you could just watch what you eat and do some exercise”
That’s crazy talk.
Or you could just watch what you eat and do some exercise
You’re so un-American.

Well these women (sorry for assuming) are in their late 60s to 70s anyways, so good grief, they will have lines anyways. Further these specific women (once again assuming) have enough money to do something about it if they desired.
Guys lose muscle mass as they age. Mike’s probably not working out as much anymore either,
FUGLY
When you’re fat and ugly and you loose weight.... You’re still ugly and now your ugly skin flops around.
Sheesh. Sagging skin is just a social construct. Noticing it is a microaggression. Mentioning it is actionable, as it marks you fiteronormative — and probably heteronormative, transphobic and racist as well, since these pathologies tend to cluster.
Madonna and Whoopie Goldberg look as good as they ever did. You will be silenced if you disagree.
With Ozempic you lose muscle mass and 40% bone mass, makes you weak and brittle. Stupid people.
