  • The condition has been observed in celebrity users such as Sharon Osbourne, Whoopie Goldberg, and Rebel Wilson, according to cosmetic dermatologists.
  • Dermal fillers are being used to restore lost volume, while Thermage, a radiofrequency skin-tightening procedure, is recommended as a preventive measure.
  • This development follows earlier reports of other aesthetic side effects like ‘Ozempic face’ and ‘Ozempic feet,’ highlighting broader cosmetic concerns tied to rapid weight loss.
  • Experts emphasize the importance of early intervention to manage skin laxity and maintain facial structure during Ozempic treatment.
