Taking the drug "Ozempic" has become a popular way to combat excess weight.
However, like many other weight loss methods, it has its side effects, one of which is the appearance of so-called "ozempic buttocks".
What are "Ozempic Buttocks"
This term is used to describe the loss of volume and sagging of the buttocks that occurs after dramatic weight loss associated with the use of this and similar drugs.
This occurs due to a decrease in subcutaneous fat and loss of skin elasticity.
Rapid weight loss can result in the skin not having time to adapt to the new body shape, which ultimately causes sagging and drooping.
The risk of developing "sagging buttocks" increases under the influence of a number of factors: genetic predisposition, skin quality and the presence of stretch marks, etc. The likelihood of sagging is also higher in people with initially thin or less elastic skin.
How to Prevent "Ozempic Buttocks"
There are no scientifically proven methods yet that can guarantee the prevention of "ozempic buttocks".
However, there are some recommendations that may help.
1. Avoid sudden weight loss. Gradual weight loss allows the skin to adapt to the changes and reduces the risk of sagging.
2. Take care of your skin. Regular moisturizing and using products that help improve skin elasticity will help maintain its firmness.
3. Make sure your diet is balanced and contains enough protein and vitamins. This is important for maintaining healthy skin and overall health.
How to Treat "Ozempic Buttocks"
If "ozempic buttocks" have already appeared, the most effective way is to restore the volume of the buttocks using liposuction and fat transfer from other parts of the body.
If a patient does not have enough fat to transplant, volume can be added using non-surgical injection techniques.
In more complex cases, surgical procedures such as a buttock lift or lumbar lift may be needed to help remove excess skin and lift the buttocks.
