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.

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

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

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.

I get that too. I am a make up queen so they won't be able to see it. My husband is the only one that sees it and that even makes me uncomfortable. But he always let me know that I'm still beauti. I just love that man
