Ozempic and face changes?

That's so inspiring! Wow, nearly 50lbs gone? Did you ever think that would be possible without the help of semaglutide?

You look wonderful in both images. Congrats on the weight reduction!

You were beautiful before and after!

You look amazing! I'm starting to wonder if the whole "Ozempic face" thing is just a marketing ploy by cosmetic surgeons to boost sales of fillers

Looking at the photos, it seems like some facial swelling has gone down too, which is something I'd love to see. My nose never went back to its size pre-pregnancy, and I'm really hoping semaglutide can help with that.

Oh wow, I never thought of that! I have noticed my rings fit better, so maybe it DOES reduce swelling.

I've been on a similar journey, down about 40ish pounds myself. It's wild how much better you feel. Anyone else notice a huge drop in the constant food cravings?

To those of you just starting, remember that slow and steady wins the race! Building muscle is super important too. Don't forget to incorporate some kind of resistance training into your routine.

I started sema last week. I want to lose around 35 pounds before my family vacation. I was wondering, do you guys follow any specific meal plans, or just try to eat less of whatever you normally eat?

I'm just trying to eat smaller portions for now. I figure I can get more strict later if I need to.

For the neck stuff, what helped with crepey neck is collected in another thread.

Surprised to see this comment getting downvoted so much... guess people don't want to accept that this facial-aging effect might have some truth to it.

There's emerging evidence suggesting this medication class could speed up facial aging through its impact on skin cells and fat-derived stem cells. Specifically, it may interfere with the body's ability to regenerate collagen and elastin. Nothing definitive yet, but plenty of active research looking into how this drug affects skin.

So your instinct might genuinely be onto something regarding the difference between your response back then versus now.
