It appears the latest “cosmetic surgery” craze may be one that’s a little out there. The new surgery will give long, sweeping eyelashes to any woman willing to pay $3,000 per eye (yep, that’s a grand total of $6,000 for new eyelashes!). How does this somewhat odd surgery work?
Well, the few plastic surgeons who are trained to do the operation will harvest about 30-40 hair follicles from the back of your head, and then manually sew then into the area of the eyelid where your eyelashes grow.
The really unappealing part of this surgery to me is that you would actually have to trim your eyelashes as you would your hair, since unlike real eyelashes, your hair grows at a faster rate, and also has the ability to grow much longer.
I’m trying to picture if this would even look right, blending real hair from your head with the thicker eyelash hair? Also, would there be any concern that the colors may not match, or what if the person has extremely kinky, curly hair? I guess those are all issues for the surgeon to worry about though!
The eyelash transplant is expected to be the latest beauty craze in what is becoming a cosmetic surgery and beauty-addicted culture. Let’s hope this one fades away fast – it just doesn’t seem “right” to me! I would think false eyelashes would produce a better look, but that’s just me!
