Does Wegovy directly cause facial changes or aging?
Wegovy does not directly cause facial changes or aging. These effects, often called ""Wegovy face,"" result from rapid weight loss leading to loss of facial fat and sagging skin. The medication itself promotes weight loss, but the changes stem from that process, not a direct action of the drug.
Key points:
- Facial changes link to rapid weight loss from medications like Wegovy.
- Weight loss reduces facial fat, causing a hollowed or gaunt look.
- Effects occur with any quick weight loss method, not just medication.
- Official Wegovy side effects do not list facial changes.
