Hollywood's 'Ozempic face' crisis: Plastic surgeons reveal the celebs suffering ... trends now
Smooth, plump cheeks. Wrinkle-free foreheads.
These are the features we've become accustomed to among celebrities obsessed with Botox and filler.
But a new look is emerging in Hollywood: sunken in eyes, gaunt cheeks and saggy skin.
Experts say it is due to the rise in popularity of weight-loss drugs. The side effect has been dubbed 'Ozempic face'.
Famous lothario Scott Disick scared fans last month with his dramatic new look — but a number of other celebs appear to be suffering from the same issue.
Scott Disick shocked the public when he emerged looking gaunt and malnourished - prompting some to question if he was abusing the weight-loss drug Ozempic
Jessica Simpson (pictured in 2020, left, and 2023) also had Ozempic face, the surgeons said, because she had more sunken cheeks than earlier
Fans have shared their concerns about whether Sharon (pictured in 2020) is 'ill' following her 3st weight loss after taking drug Ozempic, which is used to treat diabetes
Dr Smita Ramanadham, a plastic surgeon in New Jersey, told DailyMail.com: 'Ozempic face is essentially the same characteristics that we see when patients have rapid or regular weight loss.

Dr Sue Decotiis, a weight loss expert who has prescribed Ozempic to thousands of patients, added that weight loss looks more dramatic on those with longer faces because of the way the skin is stretched.
More than nine million prescriptions for Ozempic were written in the last three months of 2022 as the drug takes the US by storm.
John Goodman, 71, is an example of 'Ozempic face', or how the face changes after rapid weight loss, experts said because of the deflated appearance of his cheeks and his sunken eyes. They also pointed to more wrinkles on his face
Robbie Williams revealed he lost 25lbs on Ozempic (left in 2013 and right last year). Surgeons said the more pronounced lines on his face as well as the hollowing out of the cheeks were signs of Ozempic face. One expert said he looked more like an 'old man' now
The surgeons — who also included Dr Nicholas Jones, a plastic surgeon in Georgia — were shown pictures of fifteen celebrities who had had recent weight loss transformations, and said more than half — mostly men — had Ozempic face.
It was harder to tell with women, they said, because they have traditionally been more likely to use fillers and to cover up imperfections with makeup.
Top of the list was John Goodman, who the experts said had drastically less facial
