The use of Ozempic, a medication originally intended for type 2 diabetes, for weight loss is becoming increasingly prevalent in Hollywood, leading to concerns about its potential side effects and the normalization of a 'scary thin' appearance. Experts discuss the increasing demand for Ozempic among celebrities, the rise of GLP-1 'parties' where nurse prescribers administer the medication, and the potential for long-term health consequences.
There’s no doubt many stars are looking thinner and thinner as they walk along the red carpet. Of course, this could be due to natural and healthy weight loss techniques, but A-listers such as Kelly Clarkson and Oprah Winfrey, are starting to open up about the medication they’re using to achieve their figures.Even thin celebrities may use Ozempic to maintain their weight more easily. Experts warn of that some may obtain a 'scary thin' appearance, which could lead to increased surgeries.Dr.
Michael Hakimi, a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, shared his observations, estimating that many celebrities used to range between a size two to eight. “We’re seeing between a 0 and Size 2 — even from the people we’re used to seeing with fuller figures.”In addition, the usage of Ozempic has dominated so much of Hollywood that “celebrity and high profile clients” are hosting GLP-1 “parties” of sorts where nurse prescribers are hired to introduce guests to the medication and get them prescribed, according to Hakimi.Some other celebrities, specifically those who have never talked about their struggles with their weight, could also be using Ozempic, according to Dr. Jennifer Levine, a plastic surgeon based on the Upper East Side. “It makes them less hungry. Even people that are super, super thin might be on micro doses because they’re able to maintain their weight and don’t feel like they’re starving themselves.” “Hillary Clinton looked like she was on it,” said Hakami. “The people in the cabinet — Mike Pompeo looks like he’s getting skinny.”Once they achieve their desired goal, people may continue to stay on the medication in order to regulate their body appearance. “They can’t get off it — they want to maintain their weight which they can’t do without the drug so they have to be on a smaller dose,” Levine said. But is this a healthy method? Experts didn’t comment on any jarring effects, besides a “scary thin” appearance that happens from the drastic weight loss of Ozempic, which may require surgical intervention. “You can lose too much too fast and you end up with sinking skin,” Hakimi noted, who’s had to do more and more to combat this. To combat this, procedures such as facelifts are growing more and more popular among people of a “youngish” age, as said by Page Six. “With weight-loss patients, they have that laxity and jowling that can’t be addressed with fillers,” informed Dr. Daniel Barrett, who is also a plastic surgeon located in Beverly Hills. “If you try to fix laxity with fillers, you’d have to overfill the face, which would create an unnatural look that appears really strange — an example of this might be what Madonna currently looks like.”While facelifts are definitely on the pricier side, ranging from $10,000 to upwards of $100,000, experts claim it’s a solution that can “offer a better long-term result.” Besides how expensive they are, these surgeries might also conflict with an actor or actress’s shooting schedule if they’re actively working on a project, as they require a longer recovery time. Barrett says the “immediate downtime” is 10 days but it may take months to be ready for the cameras, as stars don’t want to look too different
