I'm am considering trying Bimatoprost (Latisse/Careprost), but I'm concerned about the risk of periorbital fat loss around the eyes which is apparently a documented side effect of long-term use. Can you tell me how likely it is to happen, and whether it's reversible if it does? My lashes seem shorter and thinner than they were when I was younger (45 now), but the skin around my eyes looks good now and I don't want to end up with a new problem.
