How Will Eyelid Surgery Affect Eyelash Regrowth?

Thank you for the question.

Generally added surgery does not affect eyelashes  unless the eyelashes are injured/cut during the procedure. If this is the case then it is unpredictable whether the eyelashes will regrow. If they do we grow they should regrow back in the natural direction.

I hope this helps.

If you lost lashes after a lower blepharoplasty, it is because the surgeon operated too close the follicles of the eyelashes.  Unfortunately the damaged lashes may never grow back.  They can also return after being dormant for several months.  WHen they do regrow, scar tissue adjacent to the hair follicle can cause the lash to be misdirected.  Latisse will not benefit this situation.  First Latisse should not be used on the lower eyelid.  Second, if the lash follicle is damaged, stimulating it with Latisse still will not make an eyelash grow.  Eyelash transplants are a very bad idea because the graft hair growth too long too rapidly and can end up irritating the eye.
