A prosthesis for eyelash replacement, restoration, or augmentation includes an implantable base serving a substrate at a ciliary implant site in proximity to a native eyelash line, and a plurality of artificial eyelash hairs secured to the implantable base at intervals along and extending from the implantable base to mimic the look of real human eyelashes. The implantable base may be composed of an absorbable material or a non-reactive, non-absorbable substance and may be curvilinear, rectangular, or round with an annular cross-section in shape. The plurality of artificial eyelash hairs are of a flexible material, preferably composed of a keratin-base or inert fiber, secured, knotted, permanently fixed to the implantable base to mimic native eyelash. A method of eyelash replacement, restoration, or augmentation comprises selecting a ciliary implant site in proximity to a native eyelash line, making an incision corresponding to the ciliary implant site deepened to a plane beneath the orbicularis muscle, and implanting at the ciliary implant site an orientated prosthesis implant base having, or adapted to securely receive, a plurality of artificial eyelash hairs, the prosthesis being oriented to replace, restore, or augment eyelashes. The incision is then closed.
