Ozempic Face, Golden Bullets & Precious Facial Fat, With Salima Saxton

08/02/24 • 7 min

Has facial fat become the latest victim of our culture’s toxic obsession with downsizing? Today we’re tackling a somewhat unappetising new phenomenon – the rise of weight loss ‘miracle’ drug Ozempic, and the subsequent fall of our youth-preserving facial fat.

With hollowed-out temples and gaunt, sunken structures, it seems the recreational use of diet drugs may, in fact, be creating BOBFOCs (Bodies Off Baywatch, Faces Off Crime Watch). Fillers can only go so far, so if you are thinking of going down the Ozempic route, we have some advice you need to hear – even if it’s hard to swallow.
