Will Lumigan (Latisse) continue to shrink the fat cells until there is no fat around the eyes?

February 25, 2016
Asked By:lolis7 in Illinois, IL

Hello. I'm a female of 25 years old and want longer eyelashes. One of the side effects of Lumigan(Latisse) is the sunken eyes. My eyes are naturally puffy and I thought I wouldn't mind loosing SOME fat around my eyes BUT I don't want to end up with sunken/hollow eyes! I know this happens to patients with glaucoma and use bimatoprost. I think it's worse for people that have sunken eyes naturally. Do the bimatoprost continue to shrink the fat cells until there is no fat at all around the eyes?

Will eyelashes grow longer after we cut them?
Grant Stevens, MD says:

I understand you do not wish to use chemicals to aid in growing your lashes, however Latisse is the #1 product and only FDA approved medicine that CAN get you longer, thicker, fuller lashes in only 4-16 weeks.  Cutting your lashes will absolutely NOT make them grow longer.  Hope this...

Can I clean the brushes in alcohol for re-use?
Cody A. Koch, MD, PhD says:

I would not recommend reusing the brushes or trying to clean them.  Latisse should have been supplied with the appropriate amount of brushes for the size of bottle you purchased.
