New Ozempic Side Effect Sparks Growing Concern Among Users

You’ve probably seen those incredible Ozempic (semaglutide) before-and-after photos flooding your social media feeds. People are losing weight fast with serious transformations. But there’s something nobody’s talking about in those posts. While the pounds are melting off their bodies, something else is happening to their faces. And it’s not what you’d expect. Doctors are calling it “Ozempic mouth,” and it’s aging people’s smiles faster than you’d think.

Dr. Michele Green says she sees this daily in her New York practice and it’s not just one or two cases, this is becoming her new normal. Patients lose volume in their faces, which creates wrinkles, sagging skin, and droopy areas around their mouths. Deep lines carve into the corners of their mouths while wrinkles mark their lips and loose skin gathers around the chin area, creating hanging skin that wasn’t there before. These changes turn bright smiles into aged looks that can make someone appear decades older.
