Kind of feel like it's the opposite, actually. Everyone I've ever seen who uses a GLP-1 long term looks significantly aged compared to their counterparts.

Dropping the weight rapidly makes your skin sag, that could be one of the reasons. Or maybe that fluffy round cheeks just plain look younger than hollows.

A plump face always looks younger, it stretches out your skin and makes wrinkles less obvious.

Extra fat hides wrinkles really well and loose skin gives people an aged saggy look. The latter mostly goes away with time.
