Eyebrow transplantation
Eyebrow transplantation is a procedure where hair follicles from a hairy area aremoved to sparse or hairless areas using techniques like Loft, FUE, FUT, DHI, orpercutaneous methods. Successful results can be achieved in cases of eyebrow loss due to trauma, accidents, burns, incorrect cosmetic applications, or hormonal reasons.
Hair follicles from the patient’s nape are transferred to the eyebrow area based on a determined shape during the consultation phase. To ensure a good and accurate result from the transplantation, it’s important to place the transplanted hair follicles at the correct angle and direction.
eyebrow transplant before and after
Before an eyebrow transplant procedure, you’ll meet with your cosmetic surgeon or provider to discuss your goals for the eyebrow transplant. During this consultation, your surgeon will:
- Examine the hair growth on your eyebrows and the location of a potential donor area of your scalp. A donor area is a section of skin with hair follicles on your scalp that your surgeon will remove during the procedure to replace the hair in your eyebrows.
- Ask you about your medical history, your family medical history, your lifestyle and any medications you currently take.
- Discuss your expectations for the surgery.
- Advise about any potential risks or side effects.
- Explain what type of anesthesia they’ll use, how long the surgery will take and how you should prepare for surgery.
When you meet with your surgeon, they’ll answer any questions you might have about an eyebrow transplant to ease your concerns. You should also plan to have someone drive you home after surgery. You may need assistance at home during the first 24 hours after your procedure, as you’ll need plenty of rest.
What happens during an eyebrow transplant procedure?
During an eyebrow transplant procedure, you can expect the following:
- You’ll receive an anesthetic that’ll put you to sleep so you won’t feel any pain.
- Your surgeon will trim the hair of the donor area to make it easier to access. The donor area is part of your scalp that your provider will remove to transplant onto your eyebrows.
- Your surgeon will remove the hair grafts from the donor area with a special sharp instrument, or a scalpel. The donor area is closed up with stitches.
- The hair grafts are put into place at your eyebrows after a slit is made in your skin to make room for the graft. After the graft fits into place, your surgeon will stitch the transplant area together.
after an eyebrow transplant procedure?
After your eyebrow transplant surgery, you can go home the same day. It’s rare to stay overnight in a hospital after an eyebrow transplant.
Your surgeon will give you instructions on how to care for your surgical site(s). Some care instructions might include:
- Get plenty of rest after your surgery.
- Wear bandages until advised to remove them.
- Don’t participate in strenuous activities until your provider tells you it’s safe.
- Take pain medication as prescribed by your provider.
- Some stitches will need to be removed while others may dissolve after several days.
- Take care and use caution when washing your surgical site(s).
- Make follow-up appointments with your surgeon to see if your skin is healing properly.
It’s normal for your newly transplanted hair to fall out a few weeks after surgery. This makes room for new hair to grow. It could take up to six weeks to several months before new hair grows from your transplanted area.
eyebrows grow long after an eyebrow transplant?
As the hair for your eyebrow transplant is from your scalp, it’ll continue to grow as it would if it were still on your scalp even though it’s now on your eyebrow. After an eyebrow transplant, you may need to regularly trim the hair of your eyebrows to keep the hair at the length you want it to be.

Your surgeon may prescribe pain medication or you can take over-the-counter pain medication to relieve the discomfort.
Do people regret getting an eyebrow transplant?
Everyone has their own reason for getting an eyebrow transplant. You’ll feel more comfortable about your decision to get an eyebrow transplant if you:
- Make your own decision to get the surgery, and it isn’t influenced by someone else.
