EYEBROW TRANSPLANT

Eyebrows are a critical facial feature that helps define appearance. Eyebrows play an important role in a person’s appearance, as they are in a more central position on the face and serve to frame the eyes. Eyebrow transplant restoration is similar to other men hair transplant procedures performed on the scalp, the transplanted hair is permanent, but due to its unique characteristics, the scalp shows some significant differences from hair transplants. Eyebrow hairs have four different characteristics:

Direction

Turkey iHealth, “The direction of the eyebrow hairs changes dramatically in different parts of the eyebrow. In the area next to the nose, the hair tends upwards, from the top of the eyebrow down, outwards and downwards on the sides, and grows in the lower part of the eyebrow, outwards and upwards. The cross-growth shape allows the hairs in the middle of the eyebrows to combine to form a thin, natural, height that passes horizontally through the middle of each eyebrow.”

Growth Cycle

The fourth characteristic of eyebrow hair is its relatively short hair growth cycle. Scalp hair has a growth phase that can last from 3 to 7 years, whereas eyebrow hair will only grow for about 4 months and will enter and fall out of the resting area.

Hair

The third feature is that eyebrow hairs grow into individual strands, rather than the groups of 1-4 follicular units that are common in scalp hairs.

Way

The second prominent feature is that the hairs appear on the follicle at an acute angle, so that they grow towards the skin base, at an angle of 45 degrees and opposite to the eyebrow skin.

What should be paid attention to?

Eyebrow transplant is a safe and aesthetically elegant procedure, there are a lot of things to consider before this type of eyebrow restoration. During the healing process, all wounds shrink. This may slightly change the orientation of the hair and cause the eyebrow hair to rise a little more than expected. After the crusts and scars have passed, the eyebrows enter their normal angle and natural cycle.

As with hair transplant on the scalp, hair transplanted to the eyebrows needs to be cut periodically. This will leave a cut and thick tip shape that is not as thin as the tip of an untouched hair.

The hair transplanted to your eyebrow will have slightly different characteristics in terms of growth and appearance due to the fact that it is taken from another part of the body. Over time, the transplanted hair slowly begins to match the eyebrow pattern and the characteristics of the existing eyebrow hairs.

Nowadays, transplant procedures can be successfully applied to completely missing or excessively thinned eyebrows or to camouflage unwanted scars in the eyebrow area. Eyebrow loss/sparseness can be hereditary (naturally thin eyebrows), eyebrow loss due to excessive eyebrow lifting, hair removal (electrolysis or laser), thyroid or other hormonal abnormalities, and trauma (burns, surgery, accidents). Eyebrow transplant is quite technical and requires a lot of art and precision to achieve an aesthetic result. It is also a very personal decision.

How is eyebrow transplant performed?

A typical eyebrow transplant may require 50 to 350 grafts per eyebrow, which requires a donor strip of 2.5 to 5 cm from scalp. D transplant or FUE hair transplant techniques can be used in eyebrow transplantation.

The procedure is generally performed under light oral sedation with local anesthesia and lasts from 2 to 4 hours. It is mostly painless and patients do not feel anything.

Apart from minimal blistering and redness in the first 3 to 5 days, patients go through the process completely comfortably and can return to most routine activities one day after the procedure. Eyebrows should be kept dry for 5 days.

Transplanted eyebrows typically fall out in about 2 to 3 weeks and then begin to grow back in about 4 months. Regrowth rates may be lower with eyebrow transplant, so a retouching process may be required to optimize symmetry and density at 9 to 12 months. From this point on, they continue to grow throughout life.
