Women are reporting 'Ozempic breasts' while taking weight-loss drugs trends now
Ozempic has already been linked to a host of bizarre bodily changes — including sagging skin and sunken-in cheeks.
But now women are reporting a side effect dubbed 'Ozempic breasts' — which is when their boobs either shrink or balloon in size.
Doctors say the former is to be expected because as someone loses weight, fat tissue in the breasts also diminish, making them smaller in size.
But the latter is more surprising to experts. One line of thinking is that hormonal fluctuations in the body cause temporary breast swelling or tenderness.
Jessica Kahn, from Kansas City, Missouri, revealed she lost 70lbs over nine months while taking Ozempic's sister medication Wegovy. It also caused her breasts to shrink, which then led to her being able to have a breast reduction

Another theory is that, as people become skinnier, their breasts simply appear bigger.
Still, 'Ozempic breasts' have left women feeling either disappointed or pleasantly surprised by the shifts.
Among those to report that their breasts shrunk after taking the miracle weight loss drugs was Jessica Kahn from Kansas City, Missouri.
She lost 70lbs over nine months while taking Ozempic's sister medication Wegovy and was thrilled with the results — which meant she could get a breast reduction.
But while on the drugs, she also shared photos showing how her breasts had started to shrink as the weight came off.
'I couldn't be happier with my results and can't wait to keep going,' she said, 'the side effects are brutal sometimes, but to me, it's worth it in exchange for the confidence boost, the comfort I feel in my own skin, and the chance to finally get a breast reduction'.
In another case, mother-of-two Danielle Ling from Oregon admitted that Ozempic had led to sagging skin on her body, including at her breasts.
She lost 102lbs after 18 months on the drugs and said that once finished she was planning to get a breast reduction to reduce the excess skin.
And in a third case of breasts shrinking while on the drug, Jessica Brown, 47, from Kentucky, said that after losing just 40lbs on Ozempic made her breasts sag.
'My breasts definitely got saggier,' she told the Los Angeles Times.
