trinityvixenI get to use my House icon for this because it's both medical and appropriate, reaction-wise.
What. The. Fuck?
Eyelash implants. Okay, fine, you know what? I knew these things existed. Know what I didn't know? THAT YOU HAVE TO TRIM YOUR GODDAMNED EYELASHES BECAUSE THEY IMPLANT REGULAR HAIR FOLLICLES INTO YOUR EYELIDS.
Know what I didn't need to know? See above.
The picture in my Newsweek doesn't make this look like it has enviable results, either. The ones online aren't very close up, but they have closeups in the magazine, and it looks like the eyelash equivalent of a comb-over: there are few stragly long eyelashes and not really much else. I'm sure it gets better when it's healed more, but really, ugh. Besides, I don't know that I have the thick kind of hair that I would get any benefit from having serve as my eyelashes. Might be better served taking strips of eyebrow hair, as that grows faster and is thick enough to serve, but if you're vain enough to want eyelash implants, you probably don't want a scar on your face where someone ripped out a bit of eyebrow. Because that, clearly, unlike this, would be fucking gross. OH WAIT, I LIED ABOUT THAT--THIS IS FUCKING GROSS.
