Thank you. It's nice to see you too. I hope you're well.
The medicine is intended to treat diabetes. Weight loss is a side effect. While I'm not an expert, it appears to mimic other devices that allow you to lose weight faster than normal. And that usually causes problems elsewhere.
Weight loss surgery is a good example. Some experience hair loss or thinning and vitamin deficiencies to name a few. They don't absorb it through the food and must rely on supplements depending on the procedure.
Rapid weight loss may cause loose skin or exacerbate it which leads to sagging. It doesn't resemble healthy skin. It's usually wrinkled or dimpled. Elasticity diminishes with age and excessive weight. It doesn't bounce back easily. The older you are when the loss occurs the more likely you'll have loose skin. Modest amounts can be corrected with liposuction. Sizable amounts require plastic surgery.
If you're taking ozempic to lose weight you may have to get a nip and tuck afterwards. That includes procedures to combat facial discrepancies. Which usually means filler and other stuff. And that has a consequence as well. Scar tissue.
From my understanding the weight returns if you stop taking the medicine. And taking it requires surgical tweaks. Which inevitably creates scar tissue that ages you. It's a weird way to solve a problem.
The ozempic explosion is the result of a fashion trend. Curves were ideal for a time. Largely due to the Kardashians. That's when plastic surgery went mainstream and people clamored for bbl's, fillers, and augmentation. But the pendulum swung last year and thin is in. Not just thin. Really thin. Some say the waif is back others call it country club chic. A few curves but not too much. That's the look.
