My eyelashes are falling out? Red puffy lid (R) Need a faster way to get my lashes back & what happened (to prevent in future)

I've been using waterproof mascara since around June, but recently my lashes started falling off. The R lashes are so short they aren't visible. Not much seems to be happening on L however. My mom said allergy to mascara, but nothing bad has happened before & nothing on L side. Just before this, I started taking my mascara off before bed, which is funny because before I never did and nothing happened. Since then I've tried olive oil at night to help regrow them & have laid off waterproof mascara

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Your eyelid might be swollen. You can try cold compresses and take Benedry at nighttime. If you are not improving, see an eyelid specialist who can manage unusual problems (oculoplastic surgeon). Your condition is likely to resolve with time.

Thank you for your question. You can definitely consider having blepharoplasty performed to enhance your eyelid crease; however, you are too young at this point to have the surgery. I would wait until you're at least 20 years old to have this procedure. Some patients regret their decision for...

You had an acceptable result following the upper blepharoplasty. The risks of improving the arch of your crease are far greater than the benefits you would achieve. In your situation pursuing a better crease may lead to a complication. I hope you find this helpful.

Asian creases tend to be smaller than non-Asians. I would recommended enlarging the crease and removing some of the overhang of skin in order to have more of your "platform" show. In some cases, a browlift needs to be done at the same time to prevent the brow from dropping down and covering up...

It is normal to have swelling this long after surgery for eyelids, and should gradually subside over the next several weeks. The scar should also improve as you continue to heal. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon at your next visit.
