Eyelash transplant in India
Quick answer
An eyelash transplant places scalp hair follicles along the eyelid margin to replace missing or sparse eyelashes. It is a delicate procedure suited to lash loss from injury or burns. Plan around 5 days in India.

At a glance
Lash loss can follow trauma, burns or some illnesses. Fake lashes or medicines may not help.
Transplanted hairs grow longer than natural lashes and need trimming and curling.
How this approach differs
Plan about 5 days. Avoid rubbing the eyes and eye make-up for some weeks. Expect mild swelling. Lashes need trimming regularly once they grow.
