Jason FungWhat causes Ozempic face and how to avoid it
Dr. Jason Fung reveals the science of facial fat loss, subcutaneous vs. visceral fat,
and how to lose weight without damaging your appearance.
Have you ever seen someone lose a lot of weight but end up looking tired, old, or
even sickly? You might’ve heard the term “Ozempic Face” — a phrase describing the
hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and wrinkled skin people often get after rapid weight
loss through appetite-suppressing drugs or extreme calorie restriction.
But here's the good news: Fasting doesn’t cause Ozempic Face. In fact, it can protect
your facial appearance while helping you lose dangerous internal fat and reverse
metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes.
In this powerful video, Dr. Jason Fung breaks down the real science behind facial fat
loss and explains why intermittent fasting is a healthier, smarter, and more natural
way to lose fat — without compromising your skin, face, or youthfulness.
�� What You'll Learn in This Video:
✅ Why people get “Ozempic Face” after extreme dieting or GLP-1 drugs
✅ The critical difference between subcutaneous fat (under the skin) and visceral fat (around
your organs)
✅ How fasting triggers growth hormone, autophagy, and fat-beiging to help preserve skin
elasticity and bone health
✅ Real-world examples: How fasting users look healthier compared to drug-induced weight
loss
✅ Why fasting helps your body burn harmful internal fat and retain healthy facial fat
✅ How brown fat activation boosts metabolism and supports long-term fat loss
✅ Key findings from recent clinical studies (2022–2025) on time-restricted eating, low-carb
diets, and belly fat reduction
