Are many patients still complaining about periorbital fat loss? (Photo)

curiosity99
doctors, i have come to see that some years ago, there was a scare among patients using latisse and worrying about periorbital fat loss. Many doctors explained that the side effect is more common when patients use this medication as a glaucoma treatment, with the drops applied directly into the eye, BUT NOT ON the eyelid as used for growing eyelashes. Are many patients still complaining about this side effect? Please see my attached photos, does it look like i have periorbital fat loss? ***UPDATE: Replaced photos September 24, 2018
