Body Fat Percentage and "Ozempic Face"

[wolle]

The Core Question:


Does "Ozempic face" (gaunt appearance, facial volume loss, premature aging) actually occur when someone with a very high initial body fat percentage loses weight to a still- high body fat percentage?


Two Scenarios:


Person A: 186 cm, 105 kg - 85 kg (20 kg in 3 months)

• Final body fat percentage: Low (~12-15%)
• Weight loss rate: ~1.67 kg/week
• Expected outcome: Gaunt/Ozempic face (too fast, ending at low BF%)

Person B: 160 cm, 110 kg - 90 kg (20 kg in 3 months)

• Final body fat percentage: Still high (~28-32%)
• Weight loss rate: ~1.67 kg/week (same percentage: ~18%)
• Expected outcome: No gaunt appearance (starting fat provides cushion, ending fat still substantial)

The Real Question:


Are there any documented cases or evidence of "Ozempic face" occurring in people like Person


B- those transitioning from very high BF% to high BF% (not high to low)?


Most literature only shows Ozempic face when people go from normal/moderate BF% to low


BF%, or when they lose massive amounts of weight. But what about people who stay in the


"high BF%" category throughout their weight loss journey?


Hypothesis: Ozempic face may not occur (or be minimal) if someone never actually reaches a low body fat percentage, because facial skin has enough remaining volume and elasticity to adapt without appearing gaunt.

No such thing as "Ozempic Face". When you're high bodyfat, your fat hides most of your signs of aging. So when people lose all that weight with ozempic, they wrongly attribute it to "Ozempic face"
