Eyebrow Transplant

Eyebrow Transplant

Eyebrow transplant surgery permanently returns the eyebrows to their almost natural appearance.

Causes of eyebrow loss:

• The influence of genetic factors,
• Excessive plucking or picking of the eyebrow,
• Burns,
• Accidents,
• Tattoos on eyebrows,
• Factors such as thyroid diseases can cause eyebrow loss.

Eyebrow transplantation restores the natural appearance of the eyebrows to the patients. However, the procedure is very precise and requires close attention to detail, particularly the angle of insertion and density.

Who can be a candidate for eyebrow transplant?

• Male and female patients with little or no genetic eyebrows.
• Female patients with severely severed eyebrows, tattooed eyebrows.
• Male and female patients with eyebrow scarring due to burns, accident or surgery.
• Female patients affected by thyroid diseases causing eyebrow loss.
• Male and female patients who want to shape or fill their eyebrows for an aesthetic appearance.

What is the procedure for eyebrow transplant?

Similar to hair and beard transplantation, hair grafts taken from the donor area at the back of the head are transplanted into the eyebrow area. Small incisions are made carefully enough to preserve the patient’s natural appearance throughout the brow area. Then the grafts taken from the donor area are precisely planted in the incision sites. The size, shape, density and placement angle of the grafts for eyebrow transplantation are very important and differ from patient to patient.

Male and female patients have different eyebrow structures. Male patients tend to have thicker, wider, and less curved eyebrows, while female patients have a thinner and more curved eyebrow structure. Since some breeds have thicker eyebrows than others, factors such as ethnicity should be considered when performing eyebrow transplantation. The number of grafts transplanted depends on the patient’s appearance; however, on average, the number of grafts for each eyebrow varies between 100-150. The grafts are carefully selected in terms of thickness and color; in order to preserve the natural thinness, only single grafts are transplanted to the eyebrows. Eyebrow transplantation is done with the FUE technique.
