Makes Eyes Darker - Portland, OR

I noticed in the doctor rating he/she says that the symptoms go away when you stop using it. That is very true for the red eyelids, but it is not true for the eye color, that is permanent. The manufacturer puts this in their literature and it is on their website. Latisse.com. There is another lady here who said that she stopped using it when she noticed brown spots in her green eyes. I don't care so much about the color change as my eyes are dark anyway, however, if I had blue or green eyes I would be very careful.

Kiera,
what I don't understand is if you had a bad experience with Dunkley and your breast implants, then why did you go back for Juvederm? Just asking.

Hi,
Yes, I went into the fat grafting, fillers on this site and the stories are horrific, especially with the fat grafting, so that kind of put me off. Also, it sounds as though your facelift was different to mine. I had the subperiostal lift which lifts the cheek of the bones, cuts part of it, then you are left with unnatural chipmunk cheeks (didn't know he chopped off half my cheek, didn't tell me, what a surprise). I was told I would get a subtle look, yeah right! God it was awful when I first had it done. Things have settled after 7 years and upon your recommendation, I am now seeking help from a qualified surgeon to "soften" things up a bit. One more thing, when I had my mid-face lift I was swollen and sore for at least 8 months so I believe you are well on your way to healing soon. Also, NHaven I would much rather have a fat face than a gaunt face, I am sure that you will look lovely as soon as the swelling goes down.

Hi NHaven,
I have been active on this board and also MMH. I have found out that a mid-face cheek lift cannot be reversed as there could be damage to the cheeks and the eyes. I have read a lot about fat grafting (is that what you had)? Also, the boards on here are definitely slanted towards not getting this procedure as it can cause a lot of problems. Does it sound as though you had the same procedure as me, endoscopic mid-face? If so, does the fat work to smooth things out, if so, have you had any major problems? Thanks.

marart so sorry for your distress, I really wish you well and hope that there is a fix for your problems. I notice the doctor you had is one of the "advice" givers on here. I ignored his advice because he kept saying "I need to see photos." Other doctors answered my question no problem, without photos.
Cadiz, I totally agree with you, people should age gracefully and keep their money, I wish I had. I think we are all too obsessed with staying young and looking young that things have gotten out of control. After reading many, many, stories about eye surgery gone horribly wrong I feel as though I got off very lightly. Still, I have tears in my eyes after reading a couple of REALLY bad stories. Breaks my heart.
