The article suggests that when ozempic solves people’s weight loss issues, they will be happier and spend their money differently
But every discussion of ozempic inevitably brings up “ozempic face” which is some apparent aging and irreversible damage done to the skin/collagen.
So are we really changing the economy after obesity or are we just substituting one type of self-image issue with another, more difficult to treat one?
- wmf 3y agoObesity isn't a self-image issue; it's actually harmful.
- mingus88 3y agoThere are a lot of celebrities who are taking ozempic who aren’t obese at all. These are the before/after cases for ozempic face Weight loss body image issues often have nothing to do with obesity
- wmf 3y agoThat's fair; we shouldn't encourage some kind of drug-powered "the thinner the better" arms race.
- bandrami 3y agoIt can be, but weight fluctuation (which Ozempic deliberately causes) is also harmful and in some cases more harmful than overweight was to begin with. But also the issue isn't so much dangerously obese people taking it (on the whole probably good) but rather slightly overweight or not-even-overweight people taking it.

- sarchertech 3y ago“Ozempic face” appears to just be the normal result of weight loss. Facial fat masks some signs of aging, so losing weight can make you look older.
