Has anyone tried to use Latisse to diminish the fat bulging in the undereye area? Are there potential negative side effects?

It appears that one of the documented side effects of bimatoprost (the Latisse ingredient) is fat loss. Allergan is doing clinical trials for XAF5, supposedly a new cream that will be intended for such a purpose. Has anyone tried using Latisse in the under eye area to reduce the fat bulging? Are there any potential negative side effects and if so, would those be reversible once stopping? Of course, assuming it works (a big IF) there may be an issue with the stretched skin once the fat is gone... Thanks!
