Obesidad; pérdida de peso; estética facial.Resumen
La búsqueda de un mejor metabolismo y la estética corporal se ha intensificado en los últimos años. Considerando que la obesidad constituye un problema de salud pública mundial, ha habido un aumento significativo en el uso de medicamentos para bajar de peso. Esta revisión tiene como objetivo analizar la evidencia científica sobre los efectos de la pérdida de peso en la estética facial asociada al uso de tirrizepatida y semaglutida. Para el estudio, se consultaron las bases de datos PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus y Web of Science, y los artículos seleccionados se analizaron descriptiva y comparativamente. Los estudios incluidos demostraron que la pérdida de peso acelerada puede causar repercusiones negativas en la estética facial, como la pérdida de soporte mecánico del tejido y el exceso de piel, favoreciendo la formación de arrugas profundas y alteraciones en las proporciones faciales, características del envejecimiento. Se concluye que los agonistas del receptor de GLP-1 y los agonistas duales de GLP-1/GIP son altamente efectivos en la reducción de peso; Sin embargo, pueden afectar negativamente la autoestima de los pacientes, tanto física como emocionalmente, debido a cambios indeseables en la estética facial, lo que pone de relieve la necesidad de realizar estudios más sistemáticos sobre el tema.
