Mechanisms of Glucagon‐Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonist‐Induced Facial Lipodystrophy and a Path Toward Prevention
ABSTRACT Background The emergence of a distinct facial appearance characterized by pronounced hollowing of the cheeks, temples, chin, and periorbital region has become a noteworthy side effect of treatment with glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). This phenomenon presents a growing concern in both dermatology and aesthetic medicine. The reduction of facial adipose tissue in […]

Opinion: Public health should embrace GLP-1 drugs without abandoning obesity prevention
Following the White House’s recent announcement of price reductions and expanded coverage for GLP-1 medications like Wegovy and Zepbound, many patients searching for obesity treatments are about to gain access to highly effective options. The implications for U.S. public health are vast. Read the rest…
Get the Government Out of the GLP-1 Market
Its involvement often leads to distortions and perverse incentives. Dr. Gilberto de Lima Lopes Jr. is right that the market for medications is imperfect, but it is often government that is the culprit (“ The Free Market Alone Won’t Cut GLP-1 Prices,” Letters, Nov. 21). Oncology, his speciality, is the …
