Eyebrow Transplant
Introduction
An eyebrow transplant is a type of facial hair transplant to make your eyebrows fuller. A surgeon will move hair follicles from the scalp to the eyebrows. The recovery time is quick, but it can take several months before you see the final results.
Overview
An eyebrow transplant is a permanent procedure to make your eyebrows appear fuller. The surgeon will do this procedure using scalp or hair grafts to replace your current eyebrow hair.
A hair graft is a type of hair transplant surgery where a surgeon removes a small piece of your scalp, usually from above your ears, that can contain between two and 15 hair follicles.
The surgeon transfers the hair graft to your eyebrows. Once your skin heals after this procedure, the hair on your eyebrows will look more pronounced.
Benefits of eyebrow transplant
There are many benefits of eyebrow transplant surgery, here are some of them :
• Covering scars in the eyebrows:
The eyebrow transplant procedure fills in the eyebrow hair in the scarred areas.
• Highlighting natural features:
This procedure highlights your natural features and gives a lifted appearance to your eyes.
• Achieve a feminine appearance:
The eyebrow transplant procedure helps achieve a feminine appearance in transgender patients.
• Giving a specific form to patients:
This procedure gives a defined shape to patients who naturally lack eyebrow hair.
prepare for eyebrow transplant surgery
Prior to eyebrow transplant surgery, you should undergo some blood tests, which are necessary to ensure your readiness for surgery and to identify any potential problem that may affect the result.
The surgeon evaluates the integrity of the skin around the eyebrows to ensure it can successfully sustain hair grafts, ultimately achieving a natural and aesthetically pleasing hair restoration.
Before undergoing this surgery, you must exercise caution with medication, especially blood-thinning medication. These drugs can increase the risk of bleeding during and after the procedure.
steps of eyebrow transplant surgery
An eyebrow transplant surgery includes the following steps:
Step 1- Anesthesia:
Local anesthesia is applied to the eyebrow area and the scalp, as the scalp is considered the donor area for hair follicles.
Step 2- Taking a strip of scalp tissue:
During this procedure, a small strip of tissue is taken from the back of the patient’s head, because this area of the scalp is genetically programmed to resist balding, also, the hair tissues in the scalp are compatible with the facial hair tissues.
Step 3- Preparing the grafts used in eyebrow transplantation:
The surgeon then dissects the grafts from tissue taken from the scalp.
Step 4- Preparing hair transplant sites on the eyebrow:
The hair transplant sites on the eyebrow are then prepared, as the surgeon makes small incisions along the eyebrows.
Step 5- Transplanting hair follicles into the eyebrows:
After that, the surgeon implants the follicular units in the eyebrows using one of the follicular unit transplantation techniques, such as the FUT technique.
recovery after eyebrow transplant surgery
If you have an eyebrow transplant, you can go home the same day. You should get plenty of rest after surgery. You should also avoid strenuous activities and take painkillers prescribed by the doctor. Be careful when washing the eyebrow area.
It’s normal for your newly transplanted hair to fall out a few weeks after surgery. It could take up to six weeks to several months before new hair grows from your transplanted area.
risks and complications of eyebrow transplant
The risks and complications of eyebrow transplant surgery are as follow:
• Facial nerve injury:
An eyebrow transplant may result in paralysis or weakness of the facial nerve.
• Infection:
Infection is a risk of any surgery, especially in unsanitary conditions.
• Eye irritation or dryness:
This procedure may cause eye irritation or dryness.
• Transplant failure:
In some cases, the hair grafts don’t take to their new position, leading to a lack of hair growth in the transplanted area.
• Post-transplant scarring:
Facial scarring is a possibility if your surgeon is unskilled, or uses an inappropriate technique.
• Lack of suitability:
Not everyone with eyebrow hair loss is a good candidate for surgery (for example, those with alopecia areata or alopecia totalis).
What is an eyebrow transplant?
An eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic procedure that involves taking hair follicles from other parts of the body and implanting them into the eyebrow area. This method is commonly used to enhance or reconstruct eyebrows that may have become thin or sparse due to factors such as over-plucking, aging, or medical conditions.
What is a hair graft?
A hair graft is a small piece of tissue containing hair follicles that is transplanted from one area of the body to another. This technique is commonly used in hair restoration procedures to address hair loss, particularly male and female pattern baldness.
Why is the back of the head considered the donor area in eyebrow transplant?
The back of the head is considered the donor area in eyebrow transplants due to its characteristics. Hair from this region is typically thicker and more resilient than that found in other areas of the body. Moreover, the hair follicles in the back of the head tend to be less prone to hair loss, making them a reliable source for transplantation.
Does eyebrow transplant affect the facial nerve?
Eyebrow transplant procedures generally do not affect the facial nerve. The surgery involves relocating hair follicles from one area of the body to the eyebrows, which primarily targets the skin and hair follicles without directly interfering with nerve function. However, as with any surgical procedure, there is a small risk of nerve damage due to swelling or surgical error.
What is a failed hair transplant?
A failed hair transplant occurs when the procedure does not achieve the desired results, often leaving the patient dissatisfied. This can happen for various reasons, including poor technique, inadequate donor hair quality, or improper post-operative care.
