The term \u201cOzempic butt\u201d&nbsp;is becoming more common as some patients didn\u2019t intend to experience a loose, sagging backside after losing weight on the drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its name, \u201cOzempic butt,\u201d or saggy skin is not a direct \u201cside effect\u201d of semaglutide; it is something that can occur with significant and rapid weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen a person loses a significant amount of weight, the skin may not fully bounce back to its original tautness,\u201d said David Nazarian, M.D., speaking to Yahoo News. He added. \u201cThis is more evident if the weight loss occurs more rapidly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Dr. Nazarian explained, experiencing loose, undefined skin that appears to be deflated is not a new phenomenon for anyone who has experienced weight loss. But experts are concerned that the rate at which some patients are losing weight while using semaglutide medications can exacerbate the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because semaglutide influences hunger and satiety levels,&nbsp;many patients may be unintentionally curbing the necessary nutrients they need through proper nutrition. Some may also be using the drug for weight loss efforts along with other ways to take off weight and can dangerously pair semaglutide with other dieting tactics such as severe portion control or skipping meals and fasting, which even further exacerbates the problems of Ozempic face and butt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a reality that Dr. Nazarian and other providers are seeing firsthand, he told Yahoo News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The combination of losing weight fast and malnutrition may lead to poor skin elasticity in areas that are usually well-defined on the body. For some, it may \u201cage\u201d the face in creating a more concave, hollowed-out look \u2014 but for others, the same effect can occur around your rear end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are seeing many patients who are not having the proper nutritional input, medical and follow-ups they need when they\u2019re prescribed these medications,\u201d&nbsp;he says. \u201cMany patients are not aware they need to&nbsp;have enough protein in their diets&nbsp;when on these medications to avoid muscle breakdown as well as fat loss; muscle breakdown can further exacerbate saggy skin appearance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can best avoid these problems if you only use semaglutide as it is prescribed for you and only as part of a complete medical weight loss program that includes diet, fitness, and exercise counseling as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The drug Ozempic, once used only as a diabetes medication, has been making quite a buzz as a kind of miracle weight loss drug.
