Is “Ozempic face” a real side effect—or a catchy label for changes that can happen after significant weight loss?

Tami and Trish unpack what people mean by “Ozempic face,” including facial volume loss, hollowing, and skin laxity. They discuss how the conversation connects to weight loss more broadly, aging, nutrition, protein, hydration, and maintaining muscle with movement and strength training.

Then they get into options people may consider when changes bother them—from skin-tightening treatments and collagen-stimulating procedures to filler—and why the right approach depends on the person, their goals, and the amount of skin laxity. The hosts also share why weight-loss medication is a tool, not a substitute for supportive habits, and why the phrase “Ozempic face” can put unfair blame on the medication.

It’s a candid conversation about GLP-1 weight loss, facial volume, loose skin, and aesthetic treatment options—with clinical perspective and plenty of real talk.

When does enhancing your appearance cross the line into too much? In the debut episode of Talks and Talk, Trish, nurse practitioner and owner of Tranquility Aesthetics & Wellness, and Tami, owner of NuYu Laser and Med Spa, take an unfiltered look at the world of aesthetics.

From questionable injectors and unapproved products to TikTok medicine, AI-generated beauty expectations, filler blindness, overdone Botox, and the pressure to constantly do more, they discuss what can go wrong when aesthetics becomes more about profit than patient safety.

They also talk about the importance of proper training, understanding anatomy, realistic treatment plans, informed consent, and knowing when to tell a patient, “You don't need anything today.”

With plenty of humor and honest opinions along the way, Trish and Tammy make the case for a more thoughtful approach to aesthetics: enhance what you have, protect your health, and don't lose yourself trying to look like someone else.
