Eyebrow loss is usually seen as a result of burn injury,
aging, over plucking, stress, skin diseases such as alopecia areata, certain
medications, permanent makeup, chemotherapy and other specific reasons. If a
person has a permanent loss of eyebrow follicles, eyebrow transplant will be
the best option to get them back. Eyebrow transplant is the process of
transplanting hair follicles extracted from the donor region, which is usually
the area behind the head, to the regions where eyebrow loss occurs.

How Does it Work?
The FUE technique is the most preferred approach when performing an eyebrow transplant surgery. Your surgeon will most likely give you local anesthesia so as to make you feel comfortable during the surgery. Hair follicles will be harvested from the donor area and implanted into the eyebrow area. If you don’t have enough hair in your donor area, your surgeon can also use follicles from your chest.
For your online consultation, we will kindly ask you to send your photos as shown in the Photography Guide down below, so we can evaluate your case.
What Does an
Eyebrow Transplant Surgery Involve?
We understand that each and every patient is unique in
their own way, this is why we always customize the transplantation according to
the best clinic practices and the individual’s preferences and needs. Here is a
brief guide of how everything will pan out:
1. Final Consultation with the Surgeon
Your first consultation will be done online, and when you
arrive at the clinic, you will have your final consultation which will be done
face-to-face between you and your surgeon. When you have both gone through the
details of the eyebrow transplant, your surgeon will begin to prepare you for
the procedure.
2. Procedure Steps
Your surgeon will draw marks on the area to be treated,
and you will be given local anesthesia afterwards. Once the anesthesia goes
into effect, your surgeon will begin to remove the hair follicles from the
donor area, which is usually the back of the head. After the extraction
process, hair grafts will be implanted into the receiving area. Surgeons
understand that the direction of the eyebrows differ from one patient to the
other, and this is something they take into consideration.
3. Post-Op Instructions
You will have a post-op check-up with your surgery a day
after the surgery. During this session, you will have to ask all the questions
in regards to the recovery period, and you should expect to be given some
instructions by your doctor on the same issue.

FAQ
Is Eyebrow
Transplant Painful?
You may feel pain or soreness after the procedure is
done. However, your surgeon may prescribe painkillers to relieve this pain and
discomfort.
Does Eyebrow
Transplant Leave a Scar?
There will be no scars left in the eyebrow area after the
procedure. The only small scar you will see is in the donor area and is
unnoticeable and easily concealable.
Are the Eyebrow
Transplant Results Permanent?
The results of eyebrow transplant are permanent and become visible within a few months after the procedure. Newly growing hairs need to be cut periodically at the beginning to reach the correct length, but they achieve the same behavior and direction as pre-existing eyebrow hairs.
