stepping outside the usual surgery talk because this is genuinely significant. the GLP-1 wave (semaglutide/tirzepatide) is doing something the looksmaxing world has wanted forever: making sustained fat loss accessible at scale.
why it matters for looks:
- leanmaxxing is the single highest ROI free-ish looksmax and the hardest for most people to actually achieve. these drugs make the 'eat less' part dramatically easier for a lot of people.
- facial fat loss reveals bone structure (the 'ozempic face' people complain about is literally the face fat coming off, which for an overweight person is usually an upgrade in jaw/cheek definition).
caveats: muscle loss if you dont train + eat protein, it's not free, sides exist, and it's a tool not a personality. but pretending it isn't a massive looksmaxing lever is denial. thoughts?
