janedoe92 260 Posted November 18, 2016 So the top of my eyes below my brows are pretty puffy and have always been, and I've attributed it to my weight. I love doing makeup but hate it because of my eyes, did any of you ladies notice any "weight loss" in the eye area, or is this something I'm just doomed with?

laceemouse 631 Posted November 18, 2016 People lose a lot of weight in their faces so I would think you would lose there. I know people who had to get new glasses because their nose got skinnier, people go down in shoe size, people lose all over! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrookeTiffani 54 Posted November 18, 2016 I have noticed i have lost weight in my hands. they arent as puffy. I truly believe when you lose, you lose it everywhere. I have also known others whose faces completely change and they are nearly unrecognizable. It is definitely a possibility! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterflywarrior 241 Posted November 18, 2016 There's a guy on my WLS in person support group that has drooping eye skin after WLS and needs a eye lift or something bc it's impeding on his vision!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hiraeth 515 Posted November 18, 2016 I knew of a man who decided to lose weight because his facial fat was folding over his face and eyes. So, I'm pretty sure you will lose weight there, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgc 538 Posted November 19, 2016 I did. Had to get new glasses. One day at work and I bent over to raise a toilet seat and my glasses fell off my face and into the toilet. I was going to put them on my face again so it was time for new glasses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissJDVSG 129 Posted November 19, 2016 Sometimes a "puffier" face is also associated with hypothyroidism (low thyroid). I know from my own experience that once I was diagnosed and on medicine my face de-puffed a lot. Just a thought. But I still hope to lose some weight in the face area!

teedsg 253 Posted November 22, 2016 @@janedoe92 Ha Ha Ha!! I love this post because I never thought to see someone lose weight around their eyes. But, it is so possible! I've went down half a shoe size and I haven't even had my surgery yet. I can't wait to say good bye to my big rear and hips! I learn something new every day. This is great!
