Periorbital Fat Loss!!!! - Raleigh, NC

Be careful. The change is very gradual and hard to notice until it's too late. Not everyone's eyes fully recover either. It's a big chance to take. If I had known this was a possibility before I began using it, I would have stayed far away from this product.

I think you have an excellent chance at a full recovery, especially since you only used it on and off for six months.

Not yet 100% but close. Full recovery may take up to 15 months.

Thank you- that you are close is reassuring!

Some of it is just the photo, but they do seem to have lightened just a little bit. The color change in the iris is likely permanent, although you may get some slight lightening after quitting. I understood that risk before using it, so it isn't a major complaint for me, although I do miss my mostly green eyes.

Some of it is the photo. They lightened a tiny bit, but I think any iris color changes are likely permanent.

Yes, it can. Just like Latisse, it contains the active ingredient bimatoprost, which is what's responsible for the fat loss.

Yes. I'm very relieved that the fat is returning. I was worried that it may have done permanent damage to my eye area. If you look at the updated photo, you can see that it looks less sunken and the upper sulcus isn't as deep.

I too noticed that my eyes were sunken with a deep sulcus and loss of fat underneath after using Latisse for about a year and a half. It was gradual so I never really noticed it until I could see the bony part of my under eye area showing so when I looked down, you could actually see this sunken semicircle under my eyes. My lashes looked looked good but my eyes looked like a much older woman. Just on a whim I decided to check this site out and when I read about periorbital fat loss PAP I knew why. I stopped using it about three weeks ago and wow already my sulcus is returning to normal, the bone under my eye is no longer visible, the red eyelids are gone and my eyes look youthful again. It is def reversing. I also researched and found a medical abstract on line and it showed before and after pics of elderly people who used lumigan for their glaucoma before and after stopping it and I could not believe the difference. The fat around their orbital returned after a couple of months. This particular paper stated that the fat would return in most of the cases so I felt relieved when I read this. It also stated that all patients would suffer fat loss. Another article I read stated that younger people have more fat around the eye so they do not notice the fat loss like an older person would but eventually the fat loss would become noticeable over time. I also read another article where dye was added to one of the lash growing products and no matter how carefully it was applied to the edge of the lash line, some seeped into the eye and was visible because of the dye in the eye. Not only that, when I started reading all the posts about people whose eye colour changed I knew it was time to stop. I have blue eyes and it's what I am used to. I would rather use mascara to enhance my lashes and have youthful looking eyes than to have old looking eyes with long lashes. Just not worth it and the bonus is I'm saving money. So anyone who has sunken eyes don't stress because my eyes are def reversing with fat returning.
