Many of my eyelid surgery patients considering blepharoplasty for upper eyelid hooding or lower eyelid bags may be concerned about their lashes after surgery.  Whether you are using Latisse, an eyelash conditioner or strengthener, or just have naturally long lashes, you can still have eyelid surgery.  

Eyelid surgery should not affect the eyelashes if care is taken during surgery to avoid injury to the follicle or lash itself.  Eyelash extensions may be lost with eyelid surgery although these can frequently be preserved with care as well.
