UUUGGGGG!!!! I hate my eye brow fat....My face is shrinking but my eyebrows and eye lids look like frakenstein..... You can always tell if someone was heavy before by looking at the browline....PS in the future if it doesn't go away....

I think I'm going to wo"Man" up and post some pics tomorrow....eventhough I'm a very private person.  I notice that if people have their pics up, I tend to feel more personable with them.  And also you cannot relate to my fat brows when you can't see them...  I am at work tonight so will have to wait.....

ahahahaha OMG I KNOW!!! I have never heard anyone else mention this but I think exactly the same way! I think I look like a complete neanderthal because I have this hugely prominent brow ridge. It also makes my eyes look smaller than they really are, so I wear a lot of eyeliner to compensate. I have before/after pics in my profile somewhere, but they're not close-ups and they're from straight-on (which is the best angle to hide fat brows). But if you look at side-profile pictures of me (they don't exist, I destroy them all) I look like a freaking monkey. I'm more worried about dealing with my bigger cosmetic issues (floppy pancake tits. elephant skin thighs. batwing arms. don't even ask about the stomach, it has its own area code) but I'm sure that after I finally address all of those (years... years...) I'll start obsessing more about my face.

I don't know if they do something like lipo for the eyebrow area. Maybe it's more skin than fat. Depends on the person I guess. But I'm sure if you consulted with a plastic surgeon they'd have some sort of option for you.

lmao.....I already have the pankcake tits and I still have 100 more lbs to lose....lol....My biggest concern is my face...that is something you cannot hide....It  gives the first impression of you everywhere you go....My stomach and boobs and thighs are bad too and i intend to get something done with at least my stomach....but instead of doing that first like a lot of people that I see on here.....I am doing the face first....I turn 40 next year and spent 15+ years of  my life smoking and sun tanning...and it's evident with the bags and wrinkles that are surfacing under my eyes.  Everyday I see a new wrinkle.....I see so many pics of people before and after and after they look older (some don't).....Since I'm going to feel like I'm way younger again, I at least want to look it too.  My mom had the molina band and she did her face first and then the stomach and lipo...I'll probably follow that same path

Amen, I hear you on that. WLS definitely ages a lot of people in the face. Makes sense though, as people age they lose fat in the face (have you seen Madonna's face lately? She's so plumped full of facial fillers that she looks downright chubby from some angles). I know I look older. I do miss getting carded for alcohol.

That makes sense, you can hide a lot under clothes. I'm putting hot skinny-person sex at the top of my agenda though, so the boobs and stomach get priority.

I kid you not, my friend for her 50'th went and got her eyebrow fat lasered off!..Personally, I think she needed to worry about other health issuses, not the face, but, who am I to say!

 I posted a joke thread about fat eyelids a couple of months ago.  I just slap make up on my lids like I am a teenager, I don't give a ****  I am so happy I had this surgery!

In fact, here are my "ballskin" lids today,  as we call them in my make up group:
