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.

Three months after the procedure for longer eyelashes, the patient reported being “very happy” with her thicker, fuller eyelashes. Additionally, she said that her eyelashes were more even and natural looking. She started using less mascara and feeling confident about her appearance. Most importantly (other than the occasional trimming), the patient didn’t have to do a lot of maintenance to achieve her desired appearance.

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.

Fortunately, renowned hair restoration specialist Dr. Sanusi Umar in Manhattan Beach, Calif., developed an advanced Follicular Unit Extraction surgery method using the patented Dr.UGraft machine. This method uses beard and body hair to camouflage hair transplant scars and typically allows patients to wear shorter haircuts. In this patient’s case, after successful FUE surgery with Dr. Umar, he was able to style his hair with a short buzz cut that not only hid his scars but didn’t look patchy or show obvious signs that his hair was thinning.

According to Dr.U, body hair extracted from select body regions can serve as excellent and viable, long-term hair transplant grafts for patients who had previously exhausted their head donor supplies from past failed surgeries. [1]

Before Hair Restoration by Dr. U in Manhattan Beach

Before consulting or having any hair procedures with Dr. Umar, the patient was left with scarring and a limited amount of hair on his scalp for future hair transplants. If a patient has already experienced a notable amount of balding and hair thinning, they will be left with very few follicles for future FUE surgeries.

Procedure: Using Body Hair– Leg, Arm, Chest, and Thigh Hair To Head Transplantation

In 2011, Dr. Umar performed a flourishing beard hair-to-head hair transplant. The transplant using beard hair restored the patient’s NW6 hair loss by transplanting 9,500 head and beard hairs on the patient’s entire NW 6 areas. He also used 1,500 beard grafts to cover up the strip scars. By using the Dr.UGraft ZEUS FUE equipment, Dr. Umar could extract follicles from the beard with a significantly higher success rate than an essential FUE tool. 

In 2019, the patient returned to the Dr.U Hair Clinic once again to enhance his growth results from his previous procedure. Dr. Umar extracted donor follicles from the patient’s chest, arm, leg, thigh, and head to better achieve the patient’s vision with the appropriate number of grafts.

The two large scars were successfully camouflaged by beard hair. The hair restoration was so successful that within 13 months after the procedure, he was able to have a buzz cut with a low fade and a clean line up at his hairline *

By October 2019, the patient, close to reaching his desired level of hair restoration, opted for a final surgery. This time Dr. Umar used donor hair from the legs, thighs, forearm, and lower arms to transplant on the crown and top of his head. A total of 3000 grafts were transplanted.

This case demonstrates that even if you have had a botched hair transplant surgery that left you with scarring, there’s always hope. If you experienced a botched hair transplant or are concerned about balding, schedule a consultation with Dr. Umar today!

FAQ  – Dr.U Hair Transplant Using Body Hair For Norwood 6 Hair Loss

Will my hair transplant scar show if I shave my head for a short haircut? 

While results may vary from patient to patient and contingent upon the quality and quantity of hair grafts and baldness, Dr. Umar’s hair transplant surgeries using the Dr.UGraft ZEUS FUE devices have shown great success. Particularly in camouflaging hair transplant scars and allowing patients to shave their heads.

How do I get rid of hair transplant scars?

Hiding scars, let alone hair transplant scars, can be tricky considering there is no one best solution. Even if you have a depleted head donor supply, Dr. Umar’s innovative technologies and hair transplant scars can vastly improve. Depending on your presentation options, include and or a combination of the following:

1. Grafting the scar to cover and camouflage it with hair derived from either the beard or scalp using the Dr. UGraft ZEUS technologies (1)
2. Adding pigment by trichopigmentation to minimize the color contrast of the scar to the surrounding scalp
3. Surgically cutting out the scar and using Athena Tension kits to minimize scar widening without W plastics

What is the average hair transplant scar repair cost if I want to use body hair from areas like the chest and legs? 

The cost of hair transplant scar removal using body hair is usually different from scalp hair. Dr.U usually combines scalp hair with any body hair he uses to create a more seamless-looking result that blends naturally with the remaining head areas. Also, your final cost will depend on other factors, such as the number of grafts, hair thickness, hair curliness, hair-to-scalp color contrast, and more. It would be best to get a close estimate when planning to finance your procedure. Dr.U offers free initial online consultations to help individuals like yourself understand the number and types of grafts needed. Using our complimentary DIY online calculator, you may also get a rough estimate of your donor graft count.
