00:00Hollywood's obsession with looking flawless has brought us some pretty wild trends,

00:03but the latest one isn't exactly giving the glow-up stars we're expecting.

00:07It's called ozempic face.

00:08With celebrities everywhere reportedly using ozempic,

00:11a diabetes drug that's also used for weight loss,

00:14there's been a noticeable change not just in their physiques, but in their faces.

00:18I think I went too far.

00:19But what exactly is ozempic face?

00:21According to plastic surgeons, rapid weight loss can cause skin to lose elasticity.

00:26And for many people, this means hollow cheeks, droopy skin,

00:29and a generally more aged look, instead of that snatched, youthful face.

00:33When stepping out to premieres and red carpets in recent years,

00:36fans were shocked that their once-familiar faces have become almost unrecognizable.

00:40Ozempic itself isn't to blame here.

00:42The drug helps control blood sugar and reduces appetite,

00:45but weight loss at lightning speed is the real culprit.

00:47For stars who've lost pounds quickly, their skin isn't bouncing back the way it used to,

00:51especially for those over 40, like Jessica Simpson, Scott Disick, and Tori Spelling.

00:56Sudden deflation of the face can be very jarring to see from an outside perspective.

01:00To combat ozempic face, some stars are now booking facial restoration surgeries.

01:05Doctors say that people are coming in to fill those sunken areas

01:08with injectables or fat transfers to reclaim a fuller, younger look.

01:11It's kind of like a face undo button, which of course costs thousands of dollars.

01:16The best way I love to treat ozempic face is actually by taking some extra fat from the abdomen

01:21and injecting it back into the face to give you that more youthful, plump appearance.

01:25And just to be clear, this isn't exactly a Hollywood secret.

01:28Celebrities from all corners are talking openly about using ozempic

01:31or similar weight loss drugs despite some serious backlash,

01:35not to mention contributing to a shortage of the medication for actual diabetics who need it.

01:40Stars like Chelsea Handler, who admitted to trying the drug without knowing it was for diabetes,

01:44have been candid about their experiences.

01:46Others have been a bit quieter, leaving fans to speculate.

01:49My doctor, my anti-aging doctor, just hands it out to anybody, right?

01:53And here's the twist.

01:54Even plastic surgeons are issuing warnings.

01:56They say that ozempic face is no joke,

01:58and that this trend could have long-term effects on facial health.

02:01Sure, fillers might fix it in the short term,

02:03but for younger stars looking for the quick way to slim down,

02:06the side effects could stick around for years.

02:08And then you get, oh, I can do more.

02:12I can do more.

02:13Why not try it for another two months and see what happens?

02:17You know, you get that way with it.

02:19So is ozempic face worth the price of a new look?

02:21Or should Hollywood just chill out with the instant fixes

02:24and let their natural beauty shine?
