According to the young mum, some people warned that the popular ”;;isn’t safe”;;.

But despite this, Kirsty ”;;got all checked over”;; by doctors before her makeover journey with Mounjaro –which is regarded by some as the King Kong of.

Hitting back at the critics who deemed the decision ‘unsafe’, the Scottish mum, 31, said: ”;;Pretty sure it’s safer than being for the rest of my life.”;;

The stunner went on in the comments: ”;;I had bad gestational with second and third babies and was pre-diabetic so something had to change!”;;

But while Kirsty may now than ever, the jaw-dropping weight transformation has also left with another, less desirable side effect – the dreaded around her neck.

Similarly to Ozempic, occurs after a person has lost a dramatic amount of weight in a relatively short time period, adding years to their appearance.

It’s not something any celebs have discussed as of yet, but according to experts, it’s something they’re seeing on a rapidly increasing scale.

Speaking exclusively to Fabulous, Dr Nora, a cosmetic and medical dermatology doctor at Rejuvenation Clinic, says: “’Ozempic neck’ is becoming an increasingly common concern among patients using semaglutide medications like Ozempic for weight loss, which I’m seeing in the clinic frequently.

“As the face and neck lose fat rapidly, the skin often doesn’t have time to adapt, leading to sagging and a more aged appearance in the neck area.

“While is effective for weight loss, it doesn’t discriminate between the fat you want to lose and the fat that supports facial structure and skin tautness.

“The neck, already prone to skin laxity with age, becomes one of the first areas to show signs.”;;

Many celebs, including , have fallen victim to this trend – and Kirsty, unfortunately, is no exception.

Taking to TikTok in a desperate attempt to find a fix, she said: ”;;Really putting myself out there but mounjaro guys...what are we doing about this neck?

”;;31 and looking 51!”;; the mortified mum said in the video where she showed the saggy turkey neck, with a bunch of skin hanging.

‘I actually put weight back on to try get rid’

Since uploading the video on TikTok, the clip has taken the internet by storm, winning Kirsty more than 250k views, over 800 likes and close to 400 shares.

Dozens flooded to comments where many shared their experience with the popular medication.

One person said: ”;;I lost 10 stone in 2018 naturally. this happens soon after weight loss but it gets better within a few months it looks much better.”;;

Meanwhile, someone else thought: ”;;You have your health back, and a brand new baby by the looks of it.

”;;Neck wrinkles are a strange thing to be concerned about right now.”;;

A third chimed in: ”;;Unfortunately mine looks just like yours. I’ve tried literally everything. I’m having chin lipo and surgery since that’s the only thing to actually get rid of it.”;;

”;;Omg this is me. I actually put weight back on to try get rid. Made me so depressed,”;; another shared their bizarre solution.
