Ozempic and the disappearing booty?

Hong Kong Yanpep International
took six months off between semaglutide and mounjaro and gained everything back plus more. when i stopped, the hunger came roaring back—exactly what you're describing. it wasn't gradual, it just flipped.
 
130 lbs from surgery is a major result - the fat loss proportions are similar to medication in terms of where it comes from, and the glutes tend to lose mass right along with everywhere else. The post-bariatric body recomp journey with heavy lifting is a well-documented path to getting shape back.
 
yep, same thing happened to me. lost the padding and my tailbone was not happy about it for a while. you just kind of adjust. a padded bike seat saved me at one point honestly
 
Were you still taking the single-pathway medication when you managed to rebuild your glutes? Still on it myself and would love to build mine back up too!
 
Ugh, seriously noticed this exact thing today!! Down 20 pounds since late April, and what used to be a fuller shape back there is starting to look deflated and flat.

Not sure if it's just from being basically sedentary for the past four and a half weeks thanks to a broken foot, but honestly, it's just gone.

Was hitting protein pretty consistently, 80-100g daily, before the injury, but my eating fell apart these last few weeks. Genuinely useful nudge to get my protein habits back in order, thank you.

Also hoping there's some way to rebuild that muscle back!!
 
That's the exact same path here! There's still fat in that area, just this odd jiggly kind now with no muscle underneath holding it up. Also bumping up protein as of today. Sending good vibes for this stretch of the journey, friend!
 
To the original poster, Ozempic itself didn't dissolve your backside. What it did was help rein in your eating habits, and the resulting weight loss, both fat and muscle, is what actually made up most of that area shrinking. I'd wager, and I'd put real money on this, that cutting out extra sweets was a factor, and that quick fat loss there is exactly what melted away.

Rebuilding that shape means leaning harder into resistance work targeting the legs and rear, glute bridges, thigh work, quad training, that category of exercise, or looking at fat grafting or implants as an alternative. My vote goes to the strength-training route, you're already at the gym after all, right? Booking a session or two with a trainer could get you pointed in the right direction.

Unfortunately putting muscle back on will never move as fast as the fat and muscle disappeared while you were losing. Stair climbing, squat variations, lunges, and other leg-focused movements on a regular basis will help rebuild the actual muscle shape underneath, rather than leaving you with just a thin fat layer over very little tone.
 
Paid for bigger boobs a couple years back. Now Im glad, because thats all that remains. Whatever fat sat in there has vanished. Muscle is my plan to refill the butt area, since all the padding back there vanished as well. I blame TRT, I think it decides which fat survives and which doesnt. My belly, meanwhile, is still not flat.
 
The leaflet packed with Ozempic covers this, it lists the side effects, what to do and who to contact, and lots more. A flat behind on a naturally slim person is just aging. Gravity pulls everything down over time and flatness follows, unless implants or a 3x/week workout routine enter the picture. Exercise, even simple walking, does wonders for mood.
