Do you wish your lashes had a fuller, flirtier look? After brushing on several coats of mascara to no avail, you may be interested in a more permanent option. Lash repositioning and lash extensions are two common lash treatments in Tampa Bay that can enhance your eyes’ appearance. But which one is right for you?
Read on for a complete overview of lash repositioning and lash extensions, including factors to consider as you choose the right treatment for you.
Lash Repositioning: Overview and Benefits
Tampa lash repositioning is a surgical procedure that involves attaching the fibers of the levator muscle, which is responsible for raising the eyelid, to the lid’s surface. This lifts the eyelashes and pulls them back from the eyes to:
- Restore a full field of vision for individuals with lash ptosis (lashes that curl toward the eyes)
- Give the eyes a youthful, rested appearance
- Improve eye symmetry
Lash repositioning is ideal for Floridians struggling with lash ptosis or drooping lashes after upper eyelid surgery.
What Are Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions are semi-permanent fibers (natural or synthetic) that are attached to your natural lashes to make them look fuller, longer, and darker. They last approximately as long as your natural lashes—up to two months.
While lash extensions don’t require surgery, they require much more maintenance than lash repositioning for drooping lashes. Additionally, they tend to appear more artificial, while Tampa lash repositioning appears natural (it uses your natural lashes, after all!).
Lash extensions can also compromise your natural lashes. The fibers place stress on your lash follicles, which can lead to damage. When lash extensions are removed or fall out, they may pull some of your natural lashes out with them.
