Does Latisse or Careprost cause sunken eyes?

Question

I have heard these products cause loss of fat around the eyes and cause them to look sunken. I have deep set eyes already and am 30 so this is a concern for me, does this happen and is it common?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is a rare side effect of Latisse/Careprost. I recommend getting a formal evaluation and seeing a reputable professional. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question.  I have not personally seen this phenomenon from Latisse, but I suppose anything is possible.  It might be best to consult an ophthalmologist with a number of years of experience and see if they think this is a common problem.  Best of luck!

This is actually quite a common side effect of Latisse and other similar medicines. An oculoplastics or orbital specialist would be familiar with this.
