Loss of Eyelashes After Eyelid Surgery?

February 1, 2011
Asked By:Memphis8406 in Memphis, TN

I had upper and lower eyelid surgery 3 wks ago and am losing my eyelashes. I am afraid I am going to lose all my lashes. I'm hoping it is most likely temporary and will not continue to happen much longer. I would appreciate any information about this condition.
