A few weeks ago, I decided to try eyelash extensions. Looking back completely regret the decision, I have always had long eyelashes. Last week, when I was at the beach my left eyelash was caught on something and when losing the extensions it pulled 99% of my natural lashes out as well. When having the other extension removed, all lashes were lost as well. Currently, only a few lashes remain on each eyelid :( If I were to use Latisse, would it assist in helping my lashes grow back?

Answer: Latisse after Eyelash Removal from Extensions
There is no reason that Latisse should stop working if you are using it regularly. If you stop using Latisse, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
Theoretically, you can put Latisse on the lower Lashes. It is not FDA approved for this placement as it wasn't in the original protocol. The Dr. was right, after you place it on the upper lids just the mere matter of blinking will distribute the product to the lower lids.
After week 16, you'll see the full effect of Latisse solution. After that, you can talk to your doctor about ongoing use. Generally, a maintenance schedule such as the one you mentioned should be sufficient to maintain your lashes.
