Nevi removal on eyelid - will eyelashes grow back?

September 22, 2015
Asked By:bbb in Charlotte, NC

On August 12 I had a nevi removed on my eyelid. The doctor cauterized the area after he snipped off the nevi. Now it's been six weeks and no sign of eyelash growth - although the area has healed nicely, no more ugly nevi. I am using Latisse in the area. Will my eyelashes grow back or am I doomed? :(
