Katy is well aware of the chatter surrounding her body. For her 40th birthday party last October, she jokingly addressed the rumors about her using the medication by giving her friends goodie bags containing empty mini-syringes labeled “OzempiKP.”
In December, netizens wrote similar comments when the Firework singer appeared at iHeartRadio Q102’s Jingle Ball in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, wearing a sheer sequined dress that revealed her slimmer waistline.

Netizens said Katy had an “Ozempic face,” which, according to Harvard Medical School, can include a hollowed look to the face, changes in the size of the lips, cheeks, and chin, wrinkles on the face, sunken eyes, and sagging jowls around the jaw and neck.

The medical school notes that “Ozempic face” is a side-effect of rapid weight loss in general, regardless of how it is achieved.
“It’s the faster pace of weight loss that occurs with GLP-1 dr*gs that can make facial changes more obvious,” their website notes, adding that significant physical side effects can be treated with plastic surgery.

Ozempic, sold by Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, is a type 2 diabetes medication that is often prescribed off-label for weight loss.
Novo Nordisk also markets semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy.
Wegovy has received FDA approval for individuals with obesity or who are overweight and have at least one weight-related condition, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

“Ozempic causes weight loss by reducing appetite and decreasing food intake, and patients may gradually lose up to ~15-20% of their body weight,” Dr. Anders M. Näär, Professor of Metabolic Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, explained to Bored Panda.
“A significant proportion of patients (10-15%) do not respond to the medication or drop out due to side effects,” Dr. Näär notes.
