I think "Ozempic face" is a totally made-up concept. It's just another way for society to judge people and feel superior.
 
My brother-in-law, who's significantly overweight, commented that people on Ozempic look sickly. Meanwhile, my vitals are great, I feel amazing, and I'm only a few pounds from my ideal weight!
 
Nobody complained when diabetics lost weight on Ozempic. This 'Ozempic face' thing only became a concern when it was prescribed for weight loss.
 
Even though it's not exactly the same as "Ozempic face", my skin has been amazing since I lost around 90 pounds on weight loss meds and cleaned up my diet. I get way fewer breakouts, and my formerly oily skin is much more balanced. I've cut way back on makeup since I feel better about my natural skin.
 
I remember when Dolly Parton lost weight years ago; her face looked a bit gaunt at first, but she looked great after a while. I've seen the same thing with friends ages ago!
 
The term is ridiculous. Anyone who loses a lot of weight might have some loose skin, even on their face. You can't tell if it's from weight loss drugs or just dieting. And not everyone's face sags; sometimes it just looks thinner.

It's just another way to shame people or sell more products. Weight loss > obesity.
 
I saw someone post about their doctor commenting on their looks and it reminded me of something similar that happened to me. The doc wrote down many times that I looked older than my age. It sucks to read it!

People are lowering their risk of so many serious health problems, and someone's worried about their face? Get real.

Exactly! Health is way more important than worrying about a little change in facial appearance.
 
I get what you mean - when you start adding enough wild exercise names, it does start to sound made up!
 
Noticed the same. Didn't drink for months, then couple wine glasses one night. Next day massive fluid retention and food noise. Passed in 24 hours. Anecdotal maybe, might be real.
