The Universe Begins with U

Eyelash Implant Surgery Using Nape Hair For Santa Monica Patient by Dr. U

Best Eyelash Implant Surgery Los Angeles: Many want to know how to get thicker eyelashes without needing false ones or extensions. This patient wanted her own naturally growing set of long lashes. She chose to undergo Dr. UGraft™’s eyelash implant surgery. This procedure utilizes unique technology invented by Dr. Umar to safely extract donor follicles from anywhere on the body. When it comes to eyelash transplantation, thinner hair that matches natural lashes can be harvested from the nape area. The sharp growth angles of this hair type make it amenable to damage using regular Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) punches. However, Dr. Umar’s UGraft Intelligent FUE System™ is intuitively designed with unique features that overcome the issue of challenging hair angles. This engineering makes it possible to quickly harvest healthy, robust grafts that can grow and thrive long-term in transplanted areas like the lash line.

After extracting donor hair from the patient’s nape, Dr. Umar used this hair to give this patient the thicker, fuller eyelashes she hoped for. Continue below to see the patient’s excellent eyelash implant results and additional critical information regarding eyelash transplants.

Pros and Cons of Eyelash Transplant

Before opting for an eyelash transplant procedure, consider the pros and cons of an eyelash transplant:

Eyelash Transplant Pros:

  1. The procedure can create longer, fuller eyelashes
  2. Done correctly, new lashes should last a lifetime
  3. Done successfully, it can rid the need for lash extensions and the dangers that come with them
  4. Any post-procedure scarring is minimal and, if it occurs, is generally invisible to the naked eye

 

Eyelash Transplant Cons:

  1. Not all transplanted hair will survive, but this can depend on the expertise of the operating surgeon and the way the eyelash is transplanted
  2. It May take some time to see the full effect of new lashes – up to a year to see full results
  3. Depending on what type of hair is transplanted (if the hair has a good and permanent curl similar to natural eyelashes), some curling or trimming may be needed. This can be avoided if the surgeon can find a suitable type of hair that works well with the patient’s natural eyelashes.
  4. This is a rarely done procedure. Only a few surgeons in the world are experienced in this procedure.

 

Fortunately, if you are looking for an eyelash transplant, you have come to the right place.

Dr. Umar is known as one of the leading eyelash transplant surgeons in the world due to his experience and success with the procedure, as shown below, and due to his self-invented UGraft Hair Transplant System, a leading FUE hair transplant device that makes FUE hair transplant for body hair, including eyelashes, much more feasible.

Before Eyelash Implant Surgery with Dr.UGraft

This patient came to Dr. Umar because she experienced that eyelash extensions were too expensive, difficult to maintain, and caused her to lose more lash hair. A surgical restoration would add more density to the sparse and thinned appearance without the constant use of products.

How To Get Thicker Eyelashes: Dr.UGraft Eyelash Implant Surgery Process

While traditional eyelash extension surgery takes hair from the scalp and subsequently leads to an unnatural appearance, Dr. Umar’s body hair transplant (BHT) method takes thinner hair from other parts of the body, giving patients a more authentic look. For this patient, he used nape hair, which grows slowly and is much more refined.

Eyelash Implant Surgery Using Nape Hair FAQ:

How much does the Dr. UGraft eyelash implant surgery cost?

Unlike hair transplants, where the cost is determined per graft, eyelash transplant surgery is a more delicate and precision-based procedure and therefore has a flat fee. Clinics generally charge between $5,000 and 10,000 for eyelash implant surgery. The cost of Dr. Umar’s eyelash implant surgery is priced very competitively.

What’s the difference between the Dr.UGraft eyelash extension surgery and eyelash extensions?

While eyelash extensions may seem like a cheap and easy solution, they, unfortunately, have many drawbacks, including pulling out your natural lashes, infections, inflammation, and becoming misshapen without proper grooming. An eyelash extension surgery (eyelash implant procedure) is a permanent and natural solution using your REAL hair and requires minimal maintenance.

How often should I do maintenance on my eyelashes if I get eyelash extension surgery?

The maintenance requirement after eyelash extension surgery (eyelash implant surgery) depends on where Dr. Umar extracted your grafts from. If he utilizes hair from your legs, you will need to trim your eyelashes once every three to four weeks. However, if he uses hair from your head, you will trim your eyelashes once every one to two weeks.

Is a surgical lash enhancement procedure a more permanent alternative to eyelash extensions?

Unlike transplanted hair, eyelash extensions need to be maintained year-round. Due to natural lash growth cycles and water damage, the extensions require touch-ups every 6-8 weeks. Since extensions are applied with adhesives, you can lose them or wash them off without notice. A surgical lash enhancement is a much more permanent solution because your natural hair is transplanted using the Dr.UGraft,

How does the cost of surgery compare to the cost of new eyelash treatments?

New eyelash treatments like extensions and Latisse are ongoing costs for the user. Both options require constant use/maintenance to be effective. Extensions need touch-ups every 6-8 weeks due to everyday wear and tear and water damage. And Latisse needs to be used daily, which will be relatively expensive in the long run. Surgery, on the other hand, provides permanent results after completion. With surgery, the patient gets to enjoy their natural transplanted hair without worrying about future costs of the upkeep. In the long run, the cost of surgery is much less when compared to the ongoing costs of extensions or medication use.

If I want to hold off on surgical eyelash enhancement procedures, will natural home remedies like green tea or applying castor oil help me get longer eyelashes?

Natural remedies like green tea or castor oil have not been proven viable options. There’s simply no evidence to support that these remedies have any benefits for stimulating hair growth. However, Dr. U can achieve permanent results with a lash enhancement procedure.
