My eyelashes are somewhat sparse. I've heard that getting an eyelash transplant surgery can make them appear fuller. Are there any side effects associated with eyelash transplantation?

Eyelash implantation has side effects. This procedure involves extracting hair follicles from the back of the head, culturing them, and then transplanting the follicles to the eyelash area to achieve the desired surgical outcome, which causes some trauma to the surgical site. Choosing a high-level tertiary hospital with advanced medical expertise and properly following post-operative care instructions as directed by the doctor can help minimize risks.
