I weight 282 and notice big dark spots on my cheeks. I notice other plus size black women has them on there face too. I wanted to know if anyone else had these problems before there surgery. If so, did it go away after the surgery

Well idk about cheeks but I have darkness around my neck and thighs. I forgot what exactly my doctor said but its a pre diabetic/overweight thing but I've never seen anyone with dark spots on their cheeks but armpits,necks and thighs is very common.

Thanks for the response. It's around the cheeks area. I wear makeup and blush so you really can't see it. But when the makeup is off it's noticeable. I normally it on see heavy set women.

I have those darks spots on my cheeks also and was wondering the same thing. Here's a pic to show what we are talking about.

[linda305 173]

That's exactly what I meant. Do you think it's the weight?

[Eyedbrown 33]

i don't really know but I'm hoping it goes away with the weight loss.

[NewAshes 232]

I'm sure it will go away with weight loss. I think it's the same thing i have just in a different spot.

It will go away. This is common with dark nationalities. In the polynesian culture you see it a lot with Samoan, Hawaiians, etc. I don't have that, but I have it around my neck.
