Eyebrow graft
At Dr. Chara Hair Concept, eyebrow hair transplantation is offered using the follicular unit excision (FUE) technique. This procedure can reconstruct thin or damaged eyebrows and create new eyebrows for hairless individuals, offering a more natural appearance.
An eyebrow hair transplant may be suitable for anyone who has missing or thinning eyebrows. Sparse eyebrows can have several causes, including:
Genetics
Aging
Burns
Alopecia
Hair removal
Scarred areas where eyebrow hair did not previously grow can be filled in.
What is an eyebrow hair transplant?
An eyebrow hair transplant transfers hair grafts from a donor area located somewhere on the body, usually behind the ears and the back of the scalp, to the eyebrow area. The FUE eyebrow transplant procedure works similarly to an FUE hair transplant., relocating individual hair follicles that are extracted through small incisions at the recipient site. Over time, new hairs grow from the grafts, resulting in new, thicker eyebrows.
Although eyebrow hair transplants are a safe and effective solution for thinning eyebrows, some people may not be suitable for the surgery, including those with conditions such as:
Trichotillomania
Alopecia areata
Scarring alopecia
How does an eyebrow transplant work?
An FUE eyebrow transplant extracts donor hair from the scalp, usually from behind the ears and the back of the scalp. Donor hair is taken as individual hair follicles. The surgeon then makes small incisions in the eyebrow area, according to the desired shape and density of your new eyebrows. This delicate process will also take into account the direction of the new hair. When the new eyebrow area is ready, hair follicles are implanted, usually using a needle with a microscope.
The procedure is performed after administering local anesthetic injections, so the patient should not feel any discomfort. Small circular scars will be left in the donor area, but they will soon become imperceptible as the surrounding hair grows. An FUE eyebrow transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require a scalpel or stitches. It can be completed in one session and usually takes between 4 and 6 hours.
Serious side effects from an eyebrow transplant are rare. The most common side effects are minor bruising or swelling that is temporary and resolves on its own. When evaluating your suitability for the procedure, your surgeon will review your medical history and ask you about any underlying health conditions you may have. You must also disclose any medications or supplements you are taking before the procedure.
Eyebrow Transplant Recovery and Aftercare
After an eyebrow transplant, a short recovery period is necessary. You will usually be able to resume normal activities after five to seven days, although you may need to avoid strenuous physical activity for two weeks after the procedure to ensure the grafts do not loosen or fall out. It is also important to keep the donor areas and eyebrows clean to avoid infections.
After 2 or 3 weeks, the transplanted hairs will usually begin to fall out. This is completely normal, and your new eyebrows will begin to grow over the next few months, reaching their final results in about a year.
