Obviously the pictures of Kelly Osbourne are both sad and terrifying.

But a few women i know have also used this method for weight loss and their skin has lost elasticity. They look at least 10 years older. Is this side effect being under played?

Any extreme weight loss will age your face, that's why so many celebrities get fillers and have that 'pillow' look. Ozempic face is a thing apparently. Personally I think as you get older people look better with a little bit of weight on but everyone is different.

Losing weight is ageing in itself

Losing too much weight by any method will age you. Not just with injections.

Their skin has lost fat that was plumping it up- therefore sagged a bit. Preferable to obesity and all its related conditions for longevity for most people. So no, not ‘physical aging’ on a global level it’s going to increase lifespan. Cosmetic ageing, perhaps. I know which I would choose.

Better to look a bit older than be obese with all the weight related health conditions (not referring to KO here, but the majority of people who use WLI)
