Eyebrows are of utmost cosmetic value on the face, as they play a significant role in facial harmony due to their location at the center of the face.
Causes of Eyebrow Loss
In contrast to loss of hair elsewhere in the body, eyebrow loss can result from various disorders as outlined below:
Thyroid (Goiter) Diseases
Alopecia (Hair Breakage)
Trauma
Systemic Diseases
Infections
Tattoos
Recurrent Hair Pulling and Plucking
Congenital and Birth Conditions
Genetic Factors
Eyebrow transplantation is a specialized type of hair transplantation that employs the FUE method to obtain permanent hair grafts. The grafts are derived from the donor area, and they must be grafts that are fine and thin, with the size of a single or double hair.
Eyebrow hair differs from scalp hair because of the difference in the growth cycle. While the growth phase of scalp hair takes 2-6 years, the growth cycle of eyebrow hair takes about 4 months.
Success in eyebrow transplantation is very tricky and depends on the experience of the surgeon. Key factors are as follows-
The thinnest possible follicular units should be used.
The extracted follicles must be properly distributed and placed.
The patients must stick to the medications prescribed and show up regularly for follow-ups.
Eyebrow transplants are a permanent solution to restoring your hair. This procedure uses the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, in which individual hair follicles are picked from the donor area at the back of the head to be grafted in the eyebrow region. Since the loss of eyebrow hair is usually brought about by trauma or over-plucking, there is no reason why you will continue losing hair in that particular region.
Yes, eyebrow hair transplant surgery is a procedure that is safe, and the results are fantastic. It takes time for the new eyebrow hairs to grow, and the best results can be observed one year after surgery. Once the hairs grow, they need to be trimmed regularly since they are continuously growing, just like scalp hair. This way, you will be able to groom and shape your eyebrows according to your facial features.
The duration of an eyebrow hair transplant varies depending on the number of hairs that need transplantation. On average, the procedure takes about 3 hours, and for larger cases, it may take about 5 hours. Your surgeon will give you an estimated time during your consultation.
If you have afro or curly hair, you may not be the perfect candidate for an FUE Hair Transplant. The donor hair will grow similarly in the eyebrows, which could give an unnatural appearance. It is better to seek an appointment with one of our expert surgeons to determine your suitability for an FUE Eyebrow Hair Transplant.
Yes, the donor hair used in eyebrow transplants comes from your scalp, so the hair growth cycle is preserved. Eventually, the transplanted hair will grow the full length of your scalp hair, and it will need to be trimmed regularly, usually once a month. Eventually, the frequency will diminish.
The donor hair used for eyebrow transplants typically comes from the back of the head, the side of the head, or above the ear. The donor area may need to be shaved, and our surgeons will do this as discreetly as possible so that it is hardly noticeable. The hair will begin to grow again normally in the weeks after the procedure, and you will have only minimal scarring that usually isn't noticeable.
Most patients are feeling up to returning to work within 1-2 days when any swelling and initial discomfort have diminished. However, since the procedure is done on a prominent area of your face, you may want to wait until the results are not as noticeable, particularly if you have a job that involves customers or physical activity. Many patients take about a week off work, while those in office environments or who work from home may return sooner.
The instrument used to remove hair follicles from the donor area is very small, and the number of hairs used in a transplant will not leave any noticeable scarring. Our highly experienced doctors use techniques that minimize any visible scarring, so you will not have any noticeable scars in your eyebrows.
As with any cosmetic procedure, there are some minor risks, and our team does its best to minimize these. You may experience some reddening of the area in which the transplantation occurs; this often resolves within a few days. There is a slight risk of infection, although our after-care procedures are designed to keep this as minimal as possible. Our team will lead you through the aftercare process and will be available for any questions you may have to provide you with complete support during your recovery.
