when did your eyelashes grow back?

Hello

I'm bumping this post up as it's slipped to the second page (and I don't know the answer) .

There is also the September chemotherapy thread where the ladies there might be able to help you.

Best wishes,

- I finished my chemo in April but I’m sorry, I can’t really remember when my eyelashes & brows came back. I’ve looked on some photos and it looks like I had them mid July but my brows were still sparse. 

I was advised by the Macmillan beauty adviser in Boots only to wear mascara very rarely and only on the very ends of lashes for a bit as the follicles are very delicate. I’ve been putting eyeliner on top lid and it looks fine. I have worn mascara but only a tiny bit when I go out out!! I couldn’t wear eye make-up at all for about 6 months as my eyes & skin were so sensitive but I’m making up for it now!!

Hope this helps!!

I finished chemo in July and my eyelashes are sort of back.  Most are crazy long now but I have a patch at the end of my upper lid that hasn't come back at all.  I didn't lose all my eyebrow hair but they are back like two crazy, fighting caterpillars, am already tweezing again to avoid the mono-brow look but now also have to trim the hairs as they're LONG

Hi there,

I finished chemo in April and think I had mine back around July.  I remember putting a bit of mascara on for a wedding on 30 June!  The eyebrows are OK but my lashes are still quite stubby and I have some patches where they have not come in very well at all.  I tried Revitalash but it makes my eyes very bloodshot the next day so stopped.  Like Bigguy, I got used to wearing eyeliner on my top lid for a bit of definition when I had no eyelashes and still do this, but it's nice to have at least enough bottom lashes for a bit of mascara.

You don't have to worry. I have also finished chemo in January. The hair on my head, eyebrows, and eyelashes were completely falling out. My look also seemed quite strange I didn’t even talk to anyone. Then my friend told me to use careprost eye drops to bring after the eyelashes. I ordered a drop and started using it. Now my eyelashes are as long and thick as they before.
