Nowadays, many women will do all kinds of things to keep up their appearance. There's always a new cosmetic or surgical procedure aimed to make us "prettier," like celebrities.
There's usually no harm in getting these common procedures, but one woman wants to warn others that there are hidden dangers associated with one.
Kimberly Parnell got lash extensions to avoid wearing so much makeup, but her plan backfired when she got a very bad infection in one eye.
An itchy red bump swelled on her eyelid, and doctors said that the infection was caused by the extensions. The build-up of bacteria in the eye nearly took away Kimberly's sight and doctors had to perform surgery to save it.
For the past few months, she hasn't been able to wear contacts or makeup and is now warning others about the dangers associated with such a common cosmetic procedure. She says she even regrets getting the eyelash extensions.
The procedure is very popular, and many women will continue to get the fake lashes, so doctors are encouraging women to review and understand the risks of a procedure with a certified technician and to know all symptoms of infection. If you catch one early, it can be easier to treat.
Please SHARE if you or someone you know often gets lash extensions and if you want to warn them about this danger!
