Lobotomy involves cutting nerves. You can't reverse that.
I don't know what a "chemical lobotomy" is, but I would assume that discontinuation of medication should result in a reversal of effects.

Reverse Lobotomy

A surgical lobotomy can NOT be reversed, since it was done by cutting one or more nerve tracts.
As to a Chemical Lobotomy, from Answers.com:
"The first antipsychotic was chlorpromazine, which was developed as a surgical anesthetic. It was first used on psychiatric patients in the belief that it would have a calming effect. However, the drug soon appeared to reduce psychosis beyond this calming effect, and now some believe that it causes a reduction of psychosis unrelated to the sedating effect of the medication. It was introduced for the treatment of psychosis during the period when lobotomy was a common treatment and was hailed as a "cure" for schizophrenia. It was then touted to provide a "chemical lobotomy," causing similar neurological effects without requiring surgery."
Obviously, once the chemical (medicine) is stopped, the effects will reverse themselves. However, since the medicine was/is being used to help "cure" a serious psychiatric condition, this may not be a GOOD thing! Hopefully, in this case, other, less severe drugs could be administered to help cure the situation.
Hope this explains what you need to know.

Once areas in the brain are destroyed you will never get that function back...I am not sure of chemical but a physical lobotomy is not reversible and is a horrible, primitive way mentally ill people were treated once upon a time. I hope it is still not happening.

Lobotomies are no longer performed. They are permanent ! Way back when they would punch a hole in the skull of the victim and swish around a rod, hence permanent.

Yes and even further where the wife wore the tux and the husband wore the wedding gown. And I've seen this down in all seriousness and I've seen it done in fun. Its a day of love, joy and celebration however a couple does it.

No, I don't think it can be reversed. Do they still even do those?
