LA Times wealth reporter Andrea Chang wrote about why, within months of being prescribed the drug, users are following up with a trip to the plastic surgeon. Chang joined host Lisa McRee on “LA Times Today.”Patients began using Ozempic for weight loss in 2022, and its popularity has only grown. “The two main plastic surgery associations in the country started noticing in recent months they’re seeing a spike in facelifts. That’s making a lot of people who’ve been on Ozempic... many months later, they’re now headed to the plastic surgeon to get those effects corrected,” Chang explained. One Ozempic user Chang spoke to is receiving injections into her face to restore volume, as well as undergoing an arm lift and a breast lift.
