TLDR Eyelash regrowth occurred after eyelid surgery in a man with severe hair loss.
In a case report from 2014, a 44-year-old Caucasian man with alopecia universalis experienced regrowth of upper eyelid eyelashes following a minor surgical incision on the upper eyelid. The exact mechanism behind this regrowth remained unclear, and the authors suggested that further studies were needed to understand this phenomenon.
