I decided I am finally done with bold spaces on my eyebrows and short eyelashes.
Wearing false eyelashes and dealing with removing glue - its a huge pain.
After I took off my eyelash extensions, there were only stabs left. I honestly was crying when I saw my eyelashes without extensions. Practically nothing left!
So I went to my OBGYN to get prescription for Latisse.
and had been using it for 2 months now
pros ; my eyelashes started grow even where they didn't grow before! in the inner corner of my eyes! and eyebrows started to fill up!
cons: the process is very annoying. it is cosmetics, but you need to go to a doctor, get prescription, then to pharmacy - get latisse, then when to use it, I use my own thing eyelash brush and soak it in the cap where I drop liquid to. I feel like I am wasting a lot of product, and it is upsetting that applicators are unusable
so it is time to go get another bottle of latisse and i am kind of dragging my feet

Please do a search for latisse and periorbital fat loss. This product has the very real possibility of messing your pretty eyes up.

yep I agree. I have in my possession two unused bottles of it, expensive, that I will never be able to use, solely because doctors are either in denial, lying, or failed to do the necessary research and talked me into buying them. I never even had short eyelashes or missing eyelashes, and there are better products out there for brows (some have said Latisse doesn't even work on brows anyway, and I have to agree since it didn't for me at all.) I really, really wish I had known back then how bad some docs are. Folks NEVER buy these new kinds of treatments unless you are willing to accept the price gauging and the possible AWFUL side effects that will never be mentioned to you (even if they are now all over the internet, doctors will insist they have never heard of such issues. Deplorable.) Of course sometimes it takes years for people to realize what's going on. I know that with Rogaine and Latisse I am better informed than the dermatologists and doctors I have talked to, a lot of the time. It shouldn't be this way; if you sell a product in your office, you should know everything that goes along with that product.

Do you guys think fat is irreplaceable?

It can come back on its own and if absolutely necessary, with help from doctors (but so far I am staying away from anything else permanent.) I'd suggest waiting before freaking out. Fat can always return but of course the brown fat (what we think of as baby fat, the healthy fat that disappears all over as we age) goes and that's why we start to see crevices in all the areas of the face that bug us. I'm sure you all know this so I won't go into detail but I remember learning about exactly what happens to make people look gaunter in certain areas. Bad doctors fill and overfill rather than taking into consideration the future, how people originally looked at their best (not everyone had ENORMOUS cheeks, some of use were always thinner) and not taking utter care for each individual. I think of it like dresses made for one type of body, rather than for YOU and YOU alone, churned out to save money, which then I either take to get altered (or don't buy to begin with) to a dress made JUST for you. Okay sorry I got off topic lol

Its a gamble. Fat returns for some but not others.

I am using rapid brow but not really that much difference as when I used castor oil. Try that its pretty good. Put it on at night time.

I've been using these products for 7 years and have not experienced any of this fat loss! I'm very slim, do loads of running, but I also take loads of supplements including fish / salmon / krill oil (I mix it up on alternating days), Vit C, MSM, glucosamine, coconut oil. I also eat plenty of organic butter and organic extra virgin olive oil - so I'm wondering if this is part of why I've not experienced any of the peri orbital fat loss?
January 29, 2016
I doubt those are reasons why. I am an athlete, eat an incredibly healthy diet, and take excellent care of myself. I experienced periorbital fat loss with Latisse. When I read the research I understood how it has an affinity for shrinking fat cells. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle.

i might put it on my thighs LOL (re fat loss) Lots of women get the sunken eyes its only natural that happens because that is what it is meant to do, as it is for glycemia patients, you probably already know that. Some women have said after they stop using it the fat comes back and not so sunken, so its a double edged sword

I think it is genetic! I eat a lot of wild caught salmon and i take supplements, like vitamin e, fish oil.... still had black circles around the eyes. So i had to find something that works as well, but more natural. I have great eyelashes and eyebrows now and no sideeffects
