Amid the fervor surrounding Kim Kardashian’s strikingly slim waist at the recent Met Gala, several other celebrities have garnered attention for their notable weight loss, prompting speculation about the use of the drug Ozempic as a slimming aid.
Dr. Gary Motykie, a prominent plastic surgeon based in Los Angeles, has identified four celebrities whose appearances at the event raised eyebrows regarding their apparent weight loss, potentially linked to Ozempic use.
Jennifer Lopez, renowned for her beauty and distinctive features, was among those whose appearance sparked concern among fans for appearing “gaunt” and notably thinner. Dr. Motykie suggested that her more “hollow” look could indicate the use of Ozempic, although conventional weight loss methods may also be a factor.
Last month, speculation regarding JLo’s potential use of Ozempic surfaced after she shared a photo online showcasing her in a figure-hugging gown, prompting questions from fans about her rapid weight loss.
Similarly, singer Lana Del Rey’s significant weight loss over a short period has led to speculation about her use of Ozempic. Dr. Motykie expressed suspicion due to the rapid nature of her transformation and suggested the possibility of using fillers to address volume loss in her face, a common concern with weight loss.
Actress Jessica Biel’s reported method of bathing in Epsom salts to shed water weight for the Met Gala raised eyebrows, with plastic surgeons suggesting Ozempic use as a potential factor in her slimmer figure. However, Dr. Motykie noted Biel’s consistent fitness regimen and suggested caution regarding the use of Epsom salts for weight loss due to potential dehydration risks.
Kim Kardashian, no stranger to controversy surrounding her physique, faced Ozempic allegations once again at the Met Gala. Allegations emerged in 2022 when she famously squeezed into Marilyn Monroe’s dress for the event, claiming to have lost 16lbs in three weeks through strict dietary measures and exercise.
While speculation swirls around the use of Ozempic among celebrities striving for a svelte appearance, experts caution against its potential risks and advise against extreme measures for weight loss. As celebrities continue to face scrutiny over their physical transformations, the dialogue surrounding body image and beauty standards persists.
