“Is Katy Perry’s Stunning Transformation Too Much? Fans React to Her Weight Loss and Ozempic Controversy!”
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.
Some fans speculated she was using Ozempic, while others criticized the widespread use of weight-loss medications among celebrities

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.
