What ‘Ozempic Butt’ Really Means—and How to Prevent It
'Ozempic butt' refers to sagging skin or a flatter, less rounded backside after significant fat and muscle loss. This can happen with any rapid weight reduction, whether through diet, exercise, surgery, or medication. The problem arises when the body loses collagen and elastin faster than the skin can adapt, leading to wrinkling or a deflated look.
The rise in reports of 'Ozempic butt' highlights a broader issue tied to rapid weight loss. While medications can speed up the process, the physical changes reflect natural body responses. Maintaining muscle through exercise and nutrition remains key to minimising these effects.
