People with sparse and thin eyelashes can now solve the problem by eyelash transplantation, where follicles from the scalp are transplanted to the eyelash area to replace the original eyelash follicles. How long can the effects of this eyelash transplantation method last?
How long can eyelash transplantation last?
In theory, eyelash transplantation can be permanent. The procedure involves transplanting healthy and non-shedding follicles from the scalp to the eyelash area, preserving their inherent characteristics and ensuring long-lasting effects.
Eyelash transplantation failure and its effects
If the follicles are severely damaged during eyelash transplantation or if there is poor blood circulation in the eyelash area, or if the individual has conditions such as diabetes, the transplanted follicles may have difficulty surviving. Even if they do survive, they may easily become necrotic. In such cases, the effects of eyelash transplantation may not last long or may not be achieved at all.
Proper care for longer-lasting eyelash transplantation
After undergoing eyelash transplantation surgery, it is important to provide proper care before the eyelash follicles become active and start growing.
1. Cleansing: Avoid getting the eyelash area wet for the first three days after eyelash transplantation. Afterward, you can gently clean the area with a facial towel.
2. Diet: Maintain a light diet after eyelash transplantation and avoid consuming seafood and other spicy foods. Instead, focus on eating vegetables and fruits that promote eyelash growth.
3. Medication: Follow the doctor's instructions on using anti-inflammatory drugs after eyelash transplantation to help prevent infection and inflammation of the surgical wounds.
What to do if eyelashes fall out after transplantation
There are generally two situations when eyelashes fall out after transplantation:
1. Within 1-2 months after eyelash transplantation, the original eyelashes may naturally shed as the old follicles die. In this case, it is important to promptly remove the fallen eyelashes without rubbing or rubbing them, using a cotton swab to gently remove them.
2. If eyelash transplantation fails, the eyelashes may fall out and cease to grow. In such cases, it is necessary to seek medical advice to determine the reasons for the unsuccessful transplantation and to develop a plan for future transplantation.
