It seems like all the celebrities have ozempic face now. So what is it? Well, ozempic face is a term referring to the noticeable changes in facial appearance. Specifically, a gaunt or hollowedout look that can occur as a result of rapid weight loss.
Celebrities Linked to the Trend
Here’s what happened to famous people suspected of using Ozempic. Elon Musk has visibly aged in his face.
The face of TV diva Kim Kardashian has also changed.
But most criticism on social media is directed at American businesswoman Kylie Jenner.
They all have something in common:
- sunken eyes,
- pronounced wrinkles,
- sagging skin.
All of this is a side effect of Ozempic, which seems to “age” a person. On social media, this phenomenon has already been dubbed Ozempic face.
Celebrities have literally turned a diabetes drug into a “magic pill for weight loss” — the kilos drop before your eyes.

Expert Insights on the Side Effects
One of America’s most popular medical websites, WebMD, reports:
"On average, people taking Ozempic for weight loss lose about 11% of their body fat within 6 months. As subcutaneous fat decreases, excess skin begins to sag. On the body, this can still be hidden under clothing, but not on the face. That is why the topic of Ozempic face is now so loudly discussed worldwide: more and more stars are appearing on red carpets with noticeably aged facial features."
Popular TikTok doctor Vita Faral even showed on herself how the face ages after Ozempic:
“There are fat pads in the face. When there is rapid weight loss, these fat pads shrink, and then the skin above them starts to sag.”
Social Media Reactions
The topic has gone so viral on social media that beauty bloggers even started testing how they would look with Ozempic face.
But reactions differn. While one blogger clearly said that this effect is not appealing at all, another took such comments as a compliment:
“My face is now less puffy, and I don’t have all that fat I had before. It’s noticeable on my chin.”
American pharmacists insist they are ready to address this and other side effects of Ozempic. Their new supplements promise to help the body properly absorb microelements, which should positively affect the skin and reduce the Ozempic face effect.
