A 19 year-old from Cheshire has received Britain's first eyelash transplant. And no, she didn't get the eyelashes shown in the picture (but wouldn't that be cool?!)
The teen suffers from trichotillomania - obsessive plucking or pulling out hair. During the procedure, hairs are taken from the back of the head and placed individually into cuts in the eyelid. The lashes gradually thicken up 4-6 months later.
The patient said: "Having suffered from trichotillomania for 17 years, I learned to accept that I'd never have real lashes again. That's quite a hard issue for a young girl to come to terms with. When I heard about this treatment it sounded too good to be true but the results are absolutely amazing."

if she has trichotillomania, won't she just end up plucking out all of the transplanted eyelashes?
