- Weight-loss drugs linked to 'Ozempic ears' and other cosmetic complaints, surgeons say
Weight-loss drugs like Ozempic are linked to cosmetic issues such as 'Ozempic ears' and sagging breasts due to rapid fat loss. Surgeons report increased demand for procedures like panniculectomies, abdominoplasties, and breast lifts to address these concerns. The effects are attributed to GLP-1 medications causing body fat reduction, which impacts skin elasticity and tissue structure.
