First UK eyelash transplant
Quote:

Louise Thomas, 19, from Stockport, Cheshire, had the treatment because she suffers from trichotillomania - obsessive plucking or pulling out hair.

Re: First UK eyelash transplant
No reason why this wouldn't have been done before, it's very similar to a normal hair transplant.

Seems pretty cool, considering the delacey of the job

Re: First UK eyelash transplant
I wonder if she has to trim them? Or do the hairs realise that that they should only grow to the accepted length of an eye lash?
I guess she could braid them if they got long enough.

Re: First UK eyelash transplant
If it is the same as a transplant then the new hair takes on the charasteristics of the original hair.

Interesting.  I have heard of hair transplants but always thought they were just from one area of the head to another.
My mind is working overtime wondering where hair is taken from, to put where, that would involve it changing it's characteristics.
Off for a spell of Googleing.

Re: First UK eyelash transplant
The hair was removed from the back of her head according to radio reports this morning.
