A WOMAN has revealed the bizarre transformation that took place after going on weight loss jabs – and it wasn’t her body.
Amy Kane lost 11 stone and dropped from a size 28 (US 24) to a size 8 (US 4) in under two years while taking Ozempic.

And while the mum-of-three is thrilled with her results, some trolls aren’t convinced.
Taking to social media, the 34-year-old was inundated with questions about her weight loss journey.
In a recent clip, Amy responded to a comment which read: “I’m not buying it. not the same person,” in regards to her before and after photos.
But Amy was quick to point out that the jabs do more than make you shift fat.
She revealed that even her face had changed since taking the injections.
The mum went on to share a picture of her face before weight loss vs now to point out the differences.
She said: “Things that have happened to my face since being on Ozempic.”
Amy revealed that skin discolouration had cleared up, and she was not getting as much facial hair.
She also revealed that inflammation had reduced – leaving her bone structure more visible.
On top of that, Amy also noticed that her face looked happier, and her undereye bags had disappeared.
But that wasn’t all, she revealed one of the most noticeable changes was that her nose had changed shape.
Her nose was now much less pronounced and appeared thinner.
Amy revealed that she couldn’t be happier with her new figure, even if she does have loose skin around her stomach.
She continued: “But, you know, I’ll take this all day because my health has gotten a whole lot better.”
Ozempic – an expert’s view
Dr Mitra Dutt, a GP from Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor, says: “Mounjaro works by activating two hormonal receptors (GIP and GLP-1), which enhance insulin production, improve insulin sensitivity and work to decrease food intake.”
Saxenda, which contains the active ingredient liraglutide, is another weight loss jab that’s been available on the NHS since 2020.
While Mounjaro is hailed as the “King Kong” fat jabs, a new weight loss drug dubbed “Godzilla” looks set to displace it.
Containing the active ingredient retatrutide, slimmers trying the drug lost up to 29 per cent of their weight in less than a year.
By comparison, trial results showed semaglutide, known as Ozempic, could lead to 15 per cent weight loss and tirzepatide, aka Mounjaro, to 23 per cent.
Retatrutide acts on three different receptors in the brain, “turbocharging” calorie burning while dulling hunger pangs.
Existing weight-loss jabs only suppress appetite, whereas the new treatment also speeds up metabolism.
The new drug is still undergoing clinical trials so it’s not yet known if it will be made available on the NHS.
She went on to explain that significant weight loss often results in loose skin and that this had nothing to do with the drug itself.
The clip quickly went viral on her TikTok account @amyinhalf with over 500k views and 13k likes.
People were quick to praise Amy for her weight loss success in the comments.
One person wrote: “You look absolutely fabulous. I just started Semaglutide about four weeks ago.”
Another commented: “I never thought my nose would change as I started this journey but man has it changed and I’m here for it.”
“You look so much younger and the new you is awesome!” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “You look gorgeous and congrats on your weight loss success. You are truly an inspiration.”
“A completely different person,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “You look amazing.”
