What is an Eyelash Transplant?

An eyelash transplant is a cosmetic procedure in which the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation method is utilized to take the hair with similar characteristics to your eyelashes and transplant them to the eyelashes. The goal is that new hairs will grow from these grafts, producing a fuller, more natural look to your eyelashes.

How Does Dr. Bell Perform an Eyelash Transplant?

Once the surgical plan and the best scalp location of follicular unit eyelash donor hairs have been selected, the outpatient procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Laughing gas and sedation are used to ensure the entire process is comfortable.

The donor site is matched for similar hair shafts, both in caliber and diameter to that of the eyelash. These are often from the sides of the scalp above the ear. The FUE grafts are harvested painlessly, using automated and robotic rotatory punch technique and NeoGraft and Artas.

Once the requisite number of single hair follicular unit extraction shafts and bulbs have been removed, the eyelash’s donor site is prepared and cleansed. Under local anesthesia, tiny little recipient slits are made into which the FUE grafts are placed.

What to Expect After?

Patients who have had hair transplantation for their eyelashes are very happy with their TPS hair transplantation experience. Following the procedure, the donor site is virtually painless and well hidden, with no visible linear scar.

The results of FUE hair transplantation to the eyelashes or eyelash are permanent. Once the bulb picks up a blood supply and starts producing hair, the hair shaft contributing to the eyelash will be permanent. It will grow very long and needs to be trimmed, but the results do not need to be maintained or perpetuated in any way.

Recovery & Timeline

Day 1: Patients are discharged with a surgical dressing on the donor site.

Week 1-2: The recipient site will scab over and the scab will shed on its own. Patients can typically return to work several days following the procedure. Many wear sunglasses to camouflage the scabs for the first week or so.

While a full recovery can take 12 days, the signs of the surgery are often gone within 7-10 days. At this point, people feel confident and ready to go out in public.
