Abstract

Summary: Obesity is a major epidemic plaguing American society. Injectable subcutaneous medications initially designed for use in type 2 diabetes management, such as semaglutide and other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, are rapidly gaining popularity for their effects on weight. These drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy, Saxenda, and Mounjaro) are ubiquitous on social media and are promoted by celebrities across all demographics. “Ozempic face” and “Ozempic butt” are now mainstream concepts highlighting the morphologic changes that occur with these medications. There is a paucity of literature available on the impact of these medications for plastic surgeons and their patients. As use becomes widespread, it is important for plastic surgeons to understand their indications, contraindications, appropriate perioperative management, and impact on plastic surgery procedures.
