I love how long and thick my eyelashes are from using latisse but comparing before & after photos, leads me to believe that I have developed periorbital fat atrophy. I now have an unsightly triple eyelid crease, my eyes have sunken into the orbit and my eyelid looks droopy (ptosis). These changes outweigh the eyelash growth.
