Eyelash Transplant

An eyelash transplant moves individual hair follicles, usually from the back of the scalp, into the upper eyelid margin to restore lashes lost through injury, burns, surgery, scarring or long-term pulling.

It can rebuild a lash line where none will otherwise grow. The transplanted hairs remain scalp hairs: they keep growing and must be trimmed and curled regularly for life, and the direction of growth is never perfectly controllable.

What Eyelash Transplant involves

A small strip or a few dozen single follicles are taken from the scalp behind the ear, where hairs are finest. Under magnification the technicians prepare single-hair grafts and leave the hair shaft long. With the eye protected by a corneal shield and the lid numbed, each graft is placed using a curved needle that is threaded through the lid skin and out at the lash margin, pulling the hair into position so that the follicle sits in the lid and the shaft curves outwards. Alternatively, tiny slits are made and grafts are implanted with forceps or an implanter. Typically 25 to 60 grafts are placed per upper lid in one session. Lower lids are rarely treated.

Who is a good candidate for Eyelash Transplant?

It is best thought of as reconstructive surgery, not as an alternative to lash extensions.

• Lash loss after trauma, burns or tumour removal from the lid
• Scarring from long-term false lash glue or previous lid surgery
• Congenital absence of lashes
• Trichotillomania that has been in remission for at least a year or two
• A stable cause of loss with a healthy lid margin

Es ist normalerweise nicht die richtige Wahl, wenn:

• Healthy people simply wanting longer lashes; serum such as bimatoprost or extensions are safer
• Active trichotillomania, blepharitis or lid skin disease
• Alopecia areata or other active autoimmune hair loss, where grafts may be lost too
• Chemotherapy-related loss, which normally regrows
• People unwilling to trim and curl the lashes every week or two

Technikoptionen

• Needle-threading technique: Gives the best control of angle and curl.
• Slit and forceps or implanter placement: Faster, but with less control of direction.
• FUE harvest: Single follicles taken without a linear scar.
• Small strip harvest: Allows long-hair grafts, making the curl easier to orient.

Was passiert während Ihrer Behandlung

It takes 1 to 3 hours under local anaesthetic, often with oral sedation. The lid injections sting briefly. You go home the same day, with swollen lids and antibiotic ointment.

Vorbereitung auf Ihre Reise

Plan for 3 to 5 days in Istanbul. Your surgeon reviews photographs and your medical history before you book, and you meet in person the day before surgery for examination, marking and consent with a professional interpreter.

• Stoppen Sie das Rauchen und Nikotin mindestens vier Wochen vor und nach der Operation; es ist die größte vermeidbare Ursache von Wundproblemen
• Erzählen Sie dem Team von allen Medikamenten und Ergänzungen, die Sie einnehmen; Blutverdünner, einige Kräuterprodukte und Hormonbehandlungen müssen möglicherweise auf Anraten Ihres Arztes unterbrochen werden
• Vereinbaren Sie, dass jemand mit Ihnen reist oder erreichbar ist, und halten Sie die ersten Tage zu Hause frei von Arbeit und Heben
• Buchen Sie einen veränderlichen Rückflug; Ihr Chirurg bestätigt, wenn Sie fit sind

Genesung und Ergebnisse

Lid swelling and bruising last 3 to 7 days, and small crusts fall away within 10 days. Do not rub your eyes, and avoid mascara, extensions and swimming for 2 to 3 weeks. The transplanted hairs shed at 2 to 4 weeks, regrow from about 3 to 4 months, and the result is judged at 9 to 12 months. From then on you trim them every 1 to 2 weeks and use a lash curler or perm to keep them turned outwards.

• Zurück zur alltäglichen Aktivität: Etwa 1 Woche
• When results show: Growth from 3 to 4 months; final at 9 to 12 months
• How long they last: Permanent; needs lifelong trimming and curling

Sicherheit, Risiken und Revisionspolitik

The eyelid is delicate, so problems with direction matter more here than elsewhere.

• Lashes growing towards the eye and scratching the cornea, needing removal
• Graft survival that is lower and less predictable than on the scalp, often 50 to 80 in 100
• Straight, thick or uneven lashes that look different from natural ones
• Lid infection, styes or small cysts
• Lid margin scarring or notching
• Need for a second session to improve density
