Upper Blepharoplasty and Eyelash Loss?

779296anon
I had upper blepharoplasty 3.5 months ago My top and bottom lashes have been falling out ever since-more so direclty after the operation Confused why bottom ones would fall out with "upper" blepharopasty. 1 Now I see short ones. Does that mean some are breaking or a sign that some are growing back or both? 2 What type of expert would I go to to to confirm "permanent" loss such as folicle damage? 3 How many months "from the date of the operation" shall I wait to know the full status of things?
