1. Indications :


§ Women and men – independent of age, skin color, hair color or skin type, because this aesthetic operation is eligible for everybody who would like to have longer or fuller eyelashes;
§ The second group comprises those people for whom the method is used as a reconstructive measure. After an accident or burnings, the eyelash transplant procedure is the only possibility to have ones ‘own’ eyelashes.


2. Techniques for eyelash transplantation in my clinic :

Harvesting technique - Follicular unit strip harvesting
A small strip with long donor hair (I always try to use thick, strong, double hair units ) is harvested from the back of the scalp, the long donor hairs are stereo-microscopically dissected (trimmed as closely as possible with a minimum of surrounding tissue) from the strip and prepared for transplantation.


Transplantation technique - Reverse follicular unit harvested grafts using long double hair unit grafts
A special surgical needle is used to puncture the eyelid at a reversed angle about 5 to 10mm above the margin at the level where the eyelash is to be placed (Eye protection shields/light sedation with Midazolam). The long hair graft is inserted into the eyelid at this puncture point and carefully pulled through until the hair roots have reached the margin, leaving the long hair to lie down at the lower eyelid. Each hair graft is inserted one by one into the eyelid using this particular technique. After the insertion of the hair grafts, each donor eyelash is carefully pulled into place and trimmed to its proper length.



3. The growth process/Some points to take in consideration :

• In general, the transplanted eyelash hairs start growing immediately after the treatment or 3-4 months postoperative
• Eyelash hairs can curve in different directions, therefore they need to be stimulated to behave like natural lashes, meaning that the transplanted lashes must be daily covered with eyelash oil and curled with an eyelash curler or eyelash perm
• The lashes must be weekly trimmed to the right length

All opinions are my own and my advice should not constitute as medical advice.

Interesting Procedure, not too many doctors take this one on and its great to see that it is working.

....One recommendation though, we cannot truly compare eyelash results when pre-operative photos have no make up (mascara) and the post-operative do. In future postings I'd love to see patients with consistent photos for comparison. Thanks again for posting!
