Straight Facts About Eyelash Transplants

Throw Away Those Extensions for Good

If you’ve had your fair share of liposuction, face peels, or microdermabrasion, don’t hesitate for the latest craze in cosmetic procedures. Your next best bet might let you throw away the mascara for good. Thousands of women are joining the latest trend in cosmetic surgery procedures with eyelash transplant surgery. Gone are the days of false eyelashes, and the gluey mess often accompanying the process of adding those batting lashes. Eyelash transplants are one-time procedures that increase the length of lashes and encourage, for the first time, eyelashes that grow naturally just like the hair on top of your head!

Eyelash transplant surgery involves a procedure that is often completed in one session. The surgeon uses a sewing technique by adding a patch of fresh skin and hair to the lash line. The transplant lets natural hair grow in new follicles, and uses real human hair from the back of the head—approximately 30 to 40 pieces - to imitate the look of eyelash hair. Each hair is carefully inserted into the incision, and although bruising is a natural result of the procedure, it can enhance and augment the look of lush lashes over time.  Eyelash transplants have been a popular technique for people who may have suffered from burns, or have a need for severe facial restoration.

For those who hesitate for full-fledged surgery, options include boosting daily mascara usage, or using eyelash extensions. Eyelash extensions have been the standard routine for most women looking to enhance their peepers; extensions attach just above the lash line with a special skin-friendly glue, and can last for hours. When applied correctly, eyelash extensions can look like the real thing. Alternatively, using a few coats of mascara and getting creative with the eyelash curler are tried-but-true techniques, no surgery required.
