A female Manhattan Beach patient turned to Dr. U because she was unhappy with her short and thin eyelashes. She wanted to get longer lashes and improve her overall fullness. After some research, she decided to have the procedure done with Dr. U, a recognized Follicular Unit Extraction specialist who offers surgical eyelash implants. Unlike other FUE doctors who only harvest grafts from the scalp, which are very thick, Dr.U is able to select different types of hair to mimic the thin quality of real eyelashes.

Before turning to Dr. U for surgical eyelash implants, this patient had to worry about constantly maintaining her lashes. She always felt like she needed to use lots of mascara to hide her lack of fullness.
She wanted to get longer lashes in order to simplify her beauty regiment and stop worrying about how thin they look. Instead of dealing with the inconvenience of artificial she decided on eyelash transplantation as a lasting solution.
For anyone grappling with the question of how to make your eyelashes grow back, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of different options. For example, alternative approaches like extensions can create the appearance of longer lashes for longer stretches of time. But they can cause hair to fall out. The adhesive can lead to inflammation, allergic reactions and allergies, causing damage to the follicles, making lashes difficult to grow. Unlike the inferior temporary fixes, surgical eyelash implants deliver permanent results and require much less maintenance. Overall the Dr.UGraft method of hair restoration for the eyelashes offers much more convenience in terms of time and expense.

In order to achieve the most natural looking results, Dr. U implemented the use of leg hair for the patient’s eyelash transplantation. Leg hair is a good donor choice for lashes because it is shorter, does not need frequent trimming and is easier to curl.
As a minimally non-invasive procedure, surgical eyelash implants completed with Dr.UGraft technology does not require the use of scalpels, but rather tiny FUE punches. The patented Dr.UGraft allows has advanced features which allow for the safe removal of all types of hair, including body hair. And it is designed to enable the donor skin to heal without traces of visible scars. This is important for areas like the legs.
The Dr.UGraft process implements a specially designed rotary punch to safely extract leg hair which closely resembles eyelash hair. During the procedure, roughly 30 follicles were grafted to each upper eyelid. The newly transplanted eyelashes become the patient’s own natural lash hairs and will withstand frequent styling without falling out.
In this patient, we found for the first time that you will have to trim less frequently when leg hair is used in an eyelash transplant. Normally when the patient curls the eyelash from head hair, they spring right back out of curl and require perming (done in salons) to stay curled. With the use of leg hair, there is no need to perm the eyelashes to keep them curled once a curler has been applied.

This patient was one of the first people to have leg hair used in an eyelash transplant. Her case has even been documented in Dr. U’s research publication in PRS Global Open. When compared to head hair, the leg hair that’s used is shorter, finer and more closely resembles the original eyelashes. It requires much less trimming and has the natural curvature that is common for eyelashes. The patient received the results that she wanted within a month of the procedure. Around the same time, her friends also started commenting on the improvement.
The meticulousness and flexibility of the Dr.UGraft method allowed Dr. U to create natural looking curvature and angles for the transplanted lashes.
3 months after her eyelash transplant with Dr. U, the patient was ecstatic with the results. The length and fullness of her eyelashes gave her beautiful and natural looking definition around her eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions – Surgical Eyelash Implants.
If I don’t have the right leg hair, is there another kind of surgery to help me get longer lashes?
When looking at surgical eyelash implants, nape hair can be considered as an alternative as well as any other hair on the body that might match the look of eyelashes. It is important to look for the proper length and curvature in order to mimic the natural look of lashes.
Is Latisse good for eyelash regrowth? Or is surgery a better option?
Latisse is a prescription drug which can actually cause your real lash hairs to grow. However, it needs to be used on an ongoing basis to maintain your results. The monthly expense can be costly. Furthermore, the daily application may seem like an inconvenience over time. Surgery, however, does offer a permanent solution. Patients enjoy that they end up with permanently long lashes as if they were born with them.
When I Google the question, how to make your eyelashes grow back, I often see articles about using homemade remedies, like using castor oil, aloe vera oil and lemon juice. Do these tips work?
Although the notion of DIY remedies may seem appealing, there is no concrete evidence that they actually work. Effective results can be documented through side by side images that show a clear and significant difference before and after the treatment. In order to avoid situations where damage has been done to the lashes and therefore requires regrowth, it would be important to avoid unhealthy practices, such as the consistent use of eyelash extensions.
