What Is Wegovy Face
Wegovy face refers to the loss of facial fat that some people notice while using semaglutide for weight management. The term describes a gaunt or aged look on the face, often linked to the medication's effect on appetite and body composition.
Why It Happens
Semaglutide reduces appetite and slows stomach emptying, which can lead to overall fat loss, including in the face. Because facial fat helps maintain a youthful volume, its reduction may make features appear more sunken or thin. Genetics, age, and rate of weight loss can influence how noticeable the change is.
What to Know Before Treatment
Wegovy face is not a medical condition but a common cosmetic concern. It may improve with weight stabilization, lifestyle habits, or facial exercises, though results vary. People considering semaglutide should discuss facial changes and other side effects with a healthcare provider to understand the risks and benefits.
