About
About Lucy Kant
Lucy Kant has been writing about nutrition, longevity, and women's wellness for over twenty years. Her work focuses on how daily choices — food, supplementation, movement, skincare — interact with the body's changes across different stages of life.
In the last five years, she has focused on the impact of new anti-obesity drugs on the female body and face, with particular attention to the less-discussed consequences of GLP-1 therapies. She believes women deserve honest information, not exaggerated promises. She believes aging well is an act of intelligence, not a gift of genetics. She believes a woman's face is hers, and that it should be protected with the same care we give to general health.

What women are saying
From the inboxes of readers around the world.
“I started Wegovy and lost 14 kg in five months. Nobody told me my face would deflate too. Lucy's protocol gave me a roadmap I could actually follow — and my cheeks back.”
“The protein math chapter alone is worth the price of the book. My endocrinologist now hands my notes to other Ozempic patients.”
“Calm, evidence-based, never alarmist. Exactly what I wanted to read before my first Mounjaro injection.”

See all 12 questions →What is 'Ozempic Face'?
'Ozempic Face' is the informal name for the hollow, gaunt or aged appearance that can follow rapid weight loss on GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. It is caused by loss of subcutaneous facial fat and, often, loss of muscle mass — not by the drugs themselves, but by the speed and composition of the weight loss they enable.
Is 'Ozempic Face' permanent?
Most volume changes are not fully reversible because adult facial fat compartments do not fully repopulate after rapid loss. However, structured intervention — protein optimisation, resistance training, targeted skincare and, when appropriate, dermatological procedures — can meaningfully restore tone, firmness and youthful appearance.
How much protein should I eat on Wegovy, Ozempic or Mounjaro?
Most adults on a GLP-1 should aim for 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of lean body mass per day, divided across 3–4 meals of 25–40 g each. This range is designed to preserve muscle during a calorie deficit and is significantly higher than the standard 0.8 g/kg RDA.
Will fillers fix 'Ozempic Face'?
Fillers can restore volume in specific areas, but they do not address the underlying loss of muscle and skin quality. Most dermatologists recommend stabilising weight first, optimising nutrition and skincare, and only then considering fillers as a targeted finishing tool — not as a first response.
