If your eyelashes fall away naturally, they will grow again in the course of time. A skin problem or an accident may also deprive you of your eyelashes. Consider surgery and eyelash transplants if you intend to grow back your eyelashes. Here are some guidelines.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find out about a qualified dermatologist from your friends or relatives or online specialist search services.

  2. Step 2

    Ask the dermatologist whether the loss of your eyelashes is permanent. Inquire about the ways to grow back your eyelashes and the time it will take.

  3. Step 3

    Discuss with the dermatologist if transplants would be beneficial. Prepare for the surgery, if needed.

  4. Step 4

    Get a prescription from your doctor to grow eyelashes in case of skin problems, especially after an accident or surgery.

  5. Step 5

    Note that only your doctor can recommend medication that is appropriate for you. The results will vary depending on the condition.

  6. Step 6

    Eat a balanced diet to maintain a healthy body, particularly your eyes. Eat more green vegetables and raw fruits.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you have lost your eyelashes accidentally, consult your eye surgeon immediately. You may even use fake eyelashes temporarily.
  • Avoid using mascara as it makes your eyelashes hard and brittle.
  • Do not pluck your lashes as it may reduce the chances of regrowth.
