Abstract: False eyelash apparatus and methods for applying false eyelashes. A false eyelash holder for holding a false eyelash has a support member for supporting the false eyelash and is adjustable to cause inversion of the false eyelash from a convex shape to a substantially concave shape. An inverter-loader device is configured to receive the holder and operable to adjust the holder to cause the false eyelash inversion. An applicator for applying an inverted false eyelash to an eyelid may have a unitary structure or may be a clamp for gripping the inverted false eyelashes.

Locking screws are also guided using the guidance cables and installed in the heads of the bone screws to secure the outer plates. Removable alignment cables with slip knot loops are used to align the center plate with the first and second plates as well as align the bone fragments associated with the fracture. Once aligned, additional bone screws are installed in the first and second outer plates to fully fixate the fracture.
