Solution for Eyebrow and Eyelash Loss?

I used to suffer from Trichotillomania but have thankfully overcome it. However, I've done pretty bad damage to my eyebrows and eyelashes. I used to have very thick brows and lashes but today they are quite sparse from years of pulling. I'm hesitant about getting transplants because you need to trim the hairs regularly which looks unnatural because you remove the tapered end of the hair follicles when you cut them. Is there any other, more natural looking procedure available to rectify my situation? Thanks
