What is eyelash transplant?
Eyelash implants are a form of cosmetic surgery involving transplanting additional eyelashes around the eye. The process typically involves removing a section of hair from the patient, typically from the back of the head, and grafting the hair to the eyelids, replacing the existing eyelashes. The procedure typically involves 60 to 70 hairs per eye, and after removal and a thorough cleaning of the oil on the hair, they are reattached to patient by delicately sewing the lashes back on. Maintenance of the eyelashes is needed thereafter, as the hair continues to grow at the same rate as on other parts of the body.
Who is the ideal candidate for an eyelash implant procedure?
The ideal candidate for an eyelash implant has sparse eyelashes and is looking for permanent enhancements (unlike temporary eyelash extensions) to volume, density, and distribution. Eyelash implants are not recommended for those with poor donor sites, or those with hair loss due to medication, medical treatments, or stress.
What can someone expect from the results of an eyelash implant procedure?
The results of an eyelash implant are not immediately noticeable following the procedure. After three months, transplanted hairs will shed and begin new hair growth. The majority of new hair growth will occur after five to twelve months, and continue to improve over twelve to eighteen months. Patients will need to trim and maintain the eyelash hair for a natural, refreshed look.

HOW IS EYELASH TRANSPLANT PERFORMED?
The eyelash transplant in Iran starts with numbing your donating area and eyelids with local anesthesia so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Then some hair follicles are harvested from the back of your head or in some cases legs to create new eyelashes. The number of grafts depends on the cause of your lash loss and the desired outcome. Then grafts are implanted one at a time into the line of the eyelids with natural alignment, curl, and functionality. It will take 2 to 4 hours for the whole process to complete and you will be going home soon afterward.
After the procedure, you will experience some discomfort such as swelling and bruising around your eyelids for a few days or a week which is normal but your scalp will recover sooner. The crusting will dissolve on its own in a few days too.
However, your new eyelash implants will shed within a week or two for a new line of lashes to grow in the next 4- 6 months. Because the hair shafts will go through natural shedding, resting, and growth phases just like the hair on your scalp. The final result will really be revealed after 12 months.
There are different eyelash transplant techniques for obtaining and transferring hair follicles:
- They might be harvested by the ‘strip harvesting’ method which is also called follicular unit transplantation (FUT). A strip of hair-baring skin is removed from the posterior scalp in 0.4 to 0.6 inches (1 to 1.5 centimeters) size. The follicles will be collected from the strip using binocular Stereo-microscopes and inserted in microscopic punctures on your eyelids using micro blades or fine needles. The scar on your donating scalp will be hidden beneath your hair even at a short length.
- The eyelash implants might also be obtained by removing each individual follicle in the follicular unit extraction (FUE) process or follicular isolation technique (FIT) in which punches of 0.6mm to 1.0mm in diameter are made on your donating area that does not leave a scar. The transplantation process is the same but overall, this technique is more time-consuming.
Like any other cosmetic surgery, the result of an eyelash transplant in Iran depends on the skills of your surgeon who must have mastery in both the art and science to deliver the intricacies of your desired result. It is also an extremely delicate procedure being performed close to eyes so the precise experience is a big factor in success. A board-certified ophthalmologist, dermatologist, or cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience in eyelash transplant is an ideal choice.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND RISKS OF EYELASH TRANSPLANT SURGERY?
Eyelash transplant in Iran has many advantages compared to other lash-enhancing alternatives, which make it the best permanent treatment for thinning eyelashes. They include:
- Unlike temporary options, it delivers permanent results. After all, it is your hair growing naturally as it does on your scalp.
- It creates a natural look because it is real hair.
- It is cost-effective in the long-term considering that only one payment is made which unlike alternatives does not require touch-ups every 4-8 weeks.
But just like any other cosmetic procedure, it has risks too:
- It is more invasive considering the surgical procedure.
- It has a longer downtime because new shafts will grow slowly.
- It has some mild post-surgery discomforts such as bleeding or potential infection.
- It requires regular trimming and curling just because the hair taken from your scalp is designed to grow longer than eyelashes. So, you need to cut them every month to maintain the desired length.
- There is the potential corneal scarring because the hair might grow in different directions and irritate your eyes.
HOW MUCH DOES AN EYELASH TRANSPLANT SURGERY COST?
Like other hair transplant treatments, the eyelash transplant cost in Iran might be based on the number of grafts or it might be a flat fee. But to give you a ballpark figure, an eyelash transplant in Iran costs anywhere from $800 to $1500 depending on different factors.
