Does the eyelash transplant look natural?

Question

I have very few eyelashes and I want to enhance them with an eyelash transplant, but I'm concerned about the result. Would it look natural? Also I have fine hair, so I was thinking to use my public hair since it's much thicker and darker than my hair. Is it possible? Thanks.

Using pubic hair as donor hair is possible.  Putting your pubic hair on your eyelash probably would not look natural.

The results of an eyelash transplant will appear the most natural when hairs are chosen that closely resemble the thickness of real eyelashes.This can be done using specialized punch extraction technology that is designed to harvest follicles that grow at any angle, not just scalp hair which is very thick exists the skin close to 90 degrees. And yes, even pubic hair can be used. You can watch the video below to see how eyelash hair transplantation using hair from a body donor area (i.e the leg) can be natural-looking, or click the link below to learn more.

These are very difficult to get right so I generally recommend women to use Latisse which works well to grow eyelashes
