Could the use of Revitabrow (prostaglandin analogue) on my eyebrows for three months cause periorbital fat atrophy?

Sociable7986Apr 3, 2020
I used revitabrow on my brows for about three months about a year ago and shortly after I noticed how sunken my eyes were looking. I'm 30 so I'm not sure if it was just age related changes. Revitabrow contains a prostaglandin analogue as well as alcohols to enhance skin absorption. Is it possible it caused fat loss? I'm particularly worried about enophthalmos as that would be hard to correct, although it seems to be reversible in some cases. I never got it in my eyes, just the upper brow skin.

Agree that these are NOT festoons. You would be a good candidate for filler to address the volume deficiency. You would also be a good candidate for skin resurfacing to address pigmentation and texture changes. I recommend you see an eyelid or facial expert in your area to address...
