I've been debating whether to get an eyelash transplant for some time now... There is a paucity of information available on the internet, which is why I decided to make this blog.
A simple google search yields some scary looking pictures with ladies who have either unwieldy looking eyelashes to patients with leg hairs growing out of their lids.
It has been quite hard to find anyone's experiences and I've had to search high and low to find anyone who has had this procedure ......So I've decided to go ahead and try the procedure myself. A pretty drastic step. However, I've thought about this for a long time (almost 7 years).
I have previously tried latanoprost and bimatoprost solutions to my upper lash line. Whilst there was minimal hair growth (2-3 mm), the trade off was darkening and irritation of my eyelid. I, thankfully, never experienced hair growth anywhere else on my face and body.
Initially, I was apprehensive about the thought of scalp hair growing out my eyelid and the long term maintenance. However, I get lash extensions almost every 2-3 weeks and this takes more than 1.5 hours of my time.
After careful consideration I have (maybe somewhat foolishly) decided to proceed with the operation....

The lead up to the procedure

My procedure is tomorrow. I just flew in today and I am so nervous. Nervous about being in another country by myself (the procedure isn't done at home).
I've started doing some of the prescribed "scalp stretching exercises".

Good luck with your procedure! Where are you having it done/with which doctor? I'm based in Sydney and have been considering having an eyebrow transplant in the US to fix the results of some bad microblading (performed at supposedly the best place in Sydney). The doctor that seems the best (for eyelash transplants too) is Dr Epstein in Miami. Hope your surgery goes well!

Hi lovely, it's late at night an only a few hours post my procedure but I thought I'd let you know- I'm actually getting my eyelashes not my eyebrows done!

Hey did you know you can easily get brow tatto removal with a tattoo gun and salt water soloution and sibina in the goldcoast does it she done my brows she’s the best she has Instagram sibina brow art also check my lash transplant review I name the surgeon I’m pretty sure me and this review have the same surgeon

Thanks so much for your reply to my comment. Yes, I know all about saline solution removal. I've already travelled for 3x sessions of saline removal over the last year but unfortunately I still have noticeable grey in my brows. And that was only after one session of microblading! I also went to probably the most famous brow salon in Sydney to have my brows done in the first place. But I still ended up with a botched job unfortunately.

Hi hi! I'll post a full review when i'm a little less groggy. I have heaps and heaps of pictures. I told them to take before, during and after. They actually took some mid procedure on my phone for me :)Right now my eyes are the size of golfballs!!

Who is your surgeon??? :)

Hi there. Just wanted to know how was the neighborhood where the doctor was? Did it seem shady? Did you go by taxi? Were they shady? I live in New York and suffered from trich since I was 10. I don't suffer from it anymore but the damage is done. I'm not far from Dr. Epstein but Dr. Manzanares seems to be better. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.

scalp exercises

sorry... I hit send prior to adding the scalp exercises.
I've also had about 3 showers today because I'm paranoid about getting an infection.
