Botched Star Terry Dubrow’s Ozempic Experience
Renowned plastic surgeon and star of Botched and Real Housewives of Orange County, Terry Dubrow, has openly discussed his journey with the weight loss drug Ozempic, revealing that he has discontinued its use.
Reasons Behind Quitting Ozempic
Despite being an avid supporter of Ozempic, a medication designed for those with type 2 diabetes, the 65-year-old celebrity surgeon disclosed to Page Six that he decided to stop taking the drug due to experiencing ‘some side effects.’
Dubrow, who recently sported a new hairstyle, admitted that Ozempic took away the joy of eating, prompting his decision to regain his appetite.
Dubrow’s Perspective on Ozempic
Expressing his admiration for Ozempic, Dubrow mentioned trying the drug to understand its effects on individuals without diabetes who aim to lose a modest amount of weight—specifically, 10 to 15 pounds.
Despite acknowledging the drug’s effectiveness, he cited ‘low-grade nausea’ and a diminished interest in food as drawbacks.
Quitting for the Holidays
Dubrow’s decision to quit Ozempic stemmed from his desire to enjoy the upcoming holidays and savor the experience of eating without restrictions.
He emphasized the inability to consume alcohol while on Ozempic and the associated risks of pancreatitis.
Dubrow’s Endorsement Despite Quitting
Despite discontinuing Ozempic, Dubrow continues to regard the drug as ‘amazing’ and hails it as the ‘biggest breakthrough in medical history.’
His co-star, Paul Nassif, added that Ozempic might contribute to a longer life.
Sagging Skin Concerns and Ozempic Body
Dubrow highlighted an observed trend among plastic surgery patients using Ozempic, noting concerns about sagging skin due to rapid weight loss.
Dubrow coined the term ‘Ozempic body and face,’ describing the effects on muscle loss and hanging skin.
