Ozempic users are claiming that they now have saggy bottoms as a result of using the drug.
In general, though, major weight loss can lead to excess and saggy skin.
“It’s an unfortunate side effect of losing weight and many more people are likely to see this effect on their tummies, but it is a sign that Ozempic is having a positive effect on their weight,” Dr. Simon Cork, a senior lecturer in physiology at the UK’s Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge,“The buttocks are one of the areas of the body where we deposit excess fat, more so in some people than others.
The term “Ozempic butt” has 1.2 billion views on TikTok, with many users sharing their personal experiences.
