On social media, weight loss is no longer just a matter of the scale. Celebrities and influencers have been sharing more and more about body changes after significant weight loss, including alterations in the shape of their buttocks. In this context, a term has begun to appear frequently in conversations about the topic: the so-called "emptied effect." The expression is used to describe the loss of volume and projection of the buttocks that can happen when there is a significant reduction of fat in the area, also leaving sagging and some irregularities more noticeable.
The discussion gained traction especially with the popularization of the so-called slimming pens, like Mounjaro, which have been going viral on social media. The use of these medications is associated with the so-called "Mounjaro butt," another effect that has been widely commented on. Besides weight loss from medications, changes in the buttocks can also be related to other factors, such as "tired butt" and lifestyle, menopause, and prolonged sitting.
