For some patients, the overuse of eyelash
extensions can cause permanent eyelash loss.
It is assumed that this lash-loss is a
result of a form of 'traction alopecia'--similar
to the damage to scalp follicles from tight
braiding, hair extensions or chronic
hair-pulling. Dr.
Bauman recommends gentle removal of eyelash
extensions to prevent damage to your
eyelashes. Should eyelash
damage occur, it might be temporary.
After six to twelve months, eyelash growth
should 'rebound' somewhat if the damage is
not severe. If the eyelash
damage is permanent, eyelash transplantation
can be used to replace lost lashes.

transplant procedure, click here.
Eyelash transplantation can also be used to
enhance short, thin, spare or otherwise
'weak' lashes. One
of the main criticisms of eyelash
transplantation procedures of 'years
ago' was that there was poor control over
the orientation, direction, curl and
position of the implanted lash follicles.
Dr. Bauman's refined approach, as
demonstrated at the First Regional Live
Surgery Workshop on Eyelash Transplantation,
allows precise control over these factors.
In Sharon's photo to the left, (with no
mascara), you can see the exact position and
curl of the implanted lashes.
Notice the increase in density precisely
at the lash margin as well as the
appropriate curl of the transplanted lashes
in the 'After' photo. Click on the
