Eyebrow Transplant

What Are Eyebrow Transplants?

Eyebrow transplants are a cosmetic surgery option for those seeking fuller, more defined brows. This technique utilizes hair follicles from your scalp to address sparse or uneven eyebrows due to genetics, over-plucking, scarring, or even complete eyebrow loss.

Similar to hair on the head, eyebrow hairs follow a cyclical pattern of growth and rest. However, various factors like over-plucking, skin conditions like alopecia areata, permanent makeup, or chemotherapy can lead to eyebrow thinning or complete hair loss.

Fortunately, eyebrow transplants offer a solution.

This procedure mirrors hair transplantation by utilizing hair follicles harvested from the neck area. The fine hair in this region is meticulously extracted, typically requiring a small, 1 cm wide and 5-10 cm long horizontal strip to be shaved depending on the number of grafts needed. Using a micromotor with very fine needles, the hair follicles are carefully removed, leaving minimal scarring in the donor area. This process allows for the harvesting of 40-50 to 400-500 grafts, which are then meticulously transplanted into the desired areas of the eyebrow, ultimately restoring a fuller and more natural appearance.

Incorporating Sapphire Blades To Eyebrow Transplants

The Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique using a sapphire blade is a cutting-edge approach to hair transplantation that offers several advantages over traditional methods. In this technique, instead of using steel blades, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using specially crafted sapphire blades. The use of sapphire blades allows for more precise and cleaner incisions, resulting in minimal trauma to the scalp and reduced risk of scarring. Additionally, sapphire blades have antibacterial properties, which can lower the risk of infection during the procedure.

This technique also enables hair transplant surgeons to create smaller incisions, leading to quicker healing times and less post-operative discomfort for patients. The FUE method with sapphire blades produces natural-looking results, with hair follicles being harvested individually and transplanted with precision to achieve a natural hairline and density.

Overall, the FUE technique using a sapphire blade is a state-of-the-art approach to hair transplantation that offers superior results and improved patient satisfaction.

Empowering Your Natural Beauty

Our expert team performs eyebrow transplants that deliver natural-looking results. The transplanted eyebrows take approximately 4-6 months to fully recover and achieve their final shape. After two months, patients can begin plucking the transplanted hairs. Initially, the transplanted hairs will grow similarly to the hair in the donor area, as they share the same characteristics. After about a year, hair growth slows down as the blood circulation in the eyebrow area adjusts, and the transplanted hairs gradually take on the properties of natural eyebrow hair.

Eyebrow hair transplants offer a permanent solution for those with sparse or over-plucked eyebrows, providing them with natural-looking, fuller brows that enhance their facial aesthetics. Explore alternative solutions like microblading or eyebrow makeup if a surgical procedure isn't your preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can eyebrow hair transplants be performed on individuals with previous eyebrow tattoos or microblading?

Yes, eyebrow hair transplants can be performed on individuals with previous eyebrow tattoos or microblading. However, the tattooed or microbladed area may need to be lasered or treated to remove pigment before the transplant procedure to ensure optimal results. Your surgeon can assess the area and provide recommendations based on your individual case.

Will the transplanted eyebrow hair grow at the same rate as natural eyebrow hair?

Yes, the transplanted eyebrow hair will typically grow at the same rate as natural eyebrow hair, allowing for a seamless integration with existing hair. However, individual growth rates may vary, and it may take some time for the transplanted hair to fully blend in with the surrounding eyebrows.

Can eyebrow hair transplants be customized to achieve specific eyebrow shapes or styles?

Yes, eyebrow hair transplants can be customized to achieve specific eyebrow shapes or styles, depending on the patient's preferences. The surgeon can work with the patient to design eyebrow contours that complement their facial features and desired aesthetic goals.

Can body hair be used as donor hair for an eyebrow transplant?

Yes, body hair from areas such as the scalp, chest, or legs can be used as donor hair for an eyebrow transplant if there is insufficient scalp donor hair available. However, the texture and growth characteristics of body hair may differ from eyebrow hair, so careful selection and placement are essential for optimal results.

How long does it take to see results after an eyebrow hair transplant?

Initial results of an eyebrow hair transplant may start to become visible within a few weeks to months as the transplanted hair begins to grow. However, it may take several months for full results to be noticeable as the newly transplanted hair matures and blends in with the existing eyebrow hair.

Are the results of an eyebrow hair transplant permanent?

Yes, the results of an eyebrow hair transplant are typically permanent since the transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormone DHT, which is responsible for hair loss. However, proper post-operative care and maintenance may be necessary to ensure the longevity of results.

Who is a suitable candidate for an eyebrow hair transplant?

Suitable candidates for eyebrow hair transplants include individuals with sparse, thin, or asymmetrical eyebrows due to genetics, over-plucking, trauma, or medical conditions. A consultation with a qualified surgeon can determine candidacy based on factors such as donor hair availability and desired eyebrow shape.
