Ozempic pills for weight loss - will taking them affect how long my fillers last?

Question

Hello according to my bmi I am overweight and after many months postpartum can’t seem to shed the weight. So I’m going to start ozempic also known as semiglutide, I’ve heard the faster your metabolism the faster filler fades. If I take this medication will my lip filler fade faster?

First of all, best of luck on your upcoming weight loss journey! 
I wouldn't worry too much about this having a significant effect on your filler's longevity. While some people's metabolism may cause filler to break down faster, I wouldn't think the effect of adding in a GLP1 would make a drastic / noticeable change on this.
The combination of weight loss, medication, potentially adding in more exercise can all increase metabolism which may have an effect on your filler - but the benefits of all these things definitely outweigh the potential downside.
