A bizarre TikTok trend called "bone smashing" has gained popularity as users hit their faces with blunt objects in an attempt to improve their facial appearances. However, this risky practice can cause damage to soft tissues, connective tissues, and eyeballs, leading to bleeding, lesions, and potential infections.

Repetitive trauma may result in nerve damage, fractures, and permanent disfigurement, making it a controversial trend.
"Ozempic face" is a term used to describe the aesthetic effects of taking the drug Ozempic, which can include loss of facial volume and sagging skin. The drug is intended for people with type two diabetes to improve their blood sugar levels and address appetite, but is being used off-label for weight loss. The cause of "Ozempic face" is still unclear, but it is thought to be related to the drug's effect on the storage and metabolism of fat in certain areas of the body. While the condition may partially or completely reverse if the medication is stopped, treatments such as dermal fillers, fat transfer, or surgical interventions may be necessary.
