Best Eyebrow Hair Transplant Surgery: All you need to know

Name: Kopelman Hair Restoration
Price range: $$$

Eyebrow restoration has evolved with significant advancements in both Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) and the strip method. These techniques provide improved and more natural results for those seeking to enhance their eyebrows.

What is an eyebrow transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a permanent cosmetic procedure designed to make your eyebrows appear fuller or to replace lost hair. During this procedure, a surgeon uses scalp or hair grafts to substitute your existing eyebrow hair.

A hair graft involves a surgeon removing a small piece of your scalp, typically from above your ears, which can contain between two and 15 hair follicles. Hair follicles are the structures that grow your hair.

The surgeon then transfers the hair graft to your eyebrows. After your skin heals from the surgery, your eyebrows will appear fuller, reducing the need for makeup or an eyebrow pencil.

How common are eyebrow transplants?

Eyebrow transplants are a type of hair transplant. In 2020, over 9,500 hair transplant procedures were completed in the United States.

Do eyebrow transplants work?

Yes, eyebrow transplants are an effective cosmetic surgery to enhance eyebrow fullness. The success of the procedure depends on how well the grafts “take,” meaning how well the hair follicles adapt to their new location. This process can be affected by your overall health and post-surgery skin care. It may take several months to see the full results.

Ideal Candidates for an Eyebrow FUE or FUT Hair Transplant?

Before deciding whether to pursue a FUE Transplant with Dr. Kopelman, consider what makes a good candidate:

Individuals who have lost their eyebrow hair, have a faded brow tattoo or desire fuller eyebrows might opt for an eyebrow transplant. This procedure can be particularly beneficial if you have a medical condition causing hair loss, such as trichotillomania or alopecia areata, or if you have sustained injuries like burns or scars that have affected your skin.

An eyebrow transplant provides a permanent solution for achieving fuller eyebrows, eliminating the need for makeup to fill them in. Although the procedure is most commonly sought by women and people assigned female at birth, men and people assigned male at birth also choose to undergo this cosmetic surgery.

What are the benefits of Eyebrow Transplant?

Eyebrow restoration with FUE and strip methods, offers benefits such as minimal scarring, quick recovery, and efficient follicle harvesting, leading to natural-looking eyebrows and enhanced facial aesthetics.

Benefits of Eyebrow Restoration:

For FUE:Minimal scarring, quick recovery, and less invasive
For the strip method: Efficient harvesting of follicles, suitable for more extensive eyebrow restoration
Both methods provide natural-looking eyebrow enhancement
Suitable for different patterns of eyebrow thinning
Improved confidence and facial aesthetics

This procedure is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma to the eyebrow area, resulting in scars where hair no longer grows naturally. Eyebrow implants can help conceal these scars and fill in the hairless areas, creating fuller, healthier brows. Eyebrow transplantation is also a suitable option for those who have suffered from trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling or plucking), which has caused permanent hair loss.

Do eyebrows grow long after an eyebrow transplant?

How long does an eyebrow transplant last?

An eyebrow transplant typically offers long-lasting results. The transplanted hair follicles are permanent and continue to grow throughout your life. However, factors such as aging, hormonal changes, or medical conditions might influence the overall appearance over time. Regular maintenance, like trimming, might be required as the transplanted hair can grow like scalp hair.

Can eyebrow transplants replicate the natural direction of eyebrow hair growth?

Yes, eyebrow transplants can mimic the natural growth direction. Experienced surgeons carefully place each follicle to follow the natural eyebrow growth pattern, ensuring that the results look as natural as possible. This meticulous placement is crucial for achieving aesthetically pleasing and realistic results.

What is the difference between FUE and FUT methods in eyebrow transplants?

In FUE (Follicular Unit Excision), individual hair follicles are extracted one at a time and transplanted to the eyebrow area. This method is less invasive and leaves no linear scar. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the strip method, involves removing a strip of skin with hair follicles from the scalp and then transplanting these follicles to the eyebrows. FUT can be more efficient for harvesting a larger number of follicles at once but leaves a linear scar.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with eyebrow transplants?

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, though they are minimal. Possible side effects include infection, scarring, and unnatural-looking results if not done correctly. Choosing an experienced surgeon minimizes these risks. Some patients may experience temporary swelling or bruising around the eyes.

How long is the recovery process after an eyebrow transplant, and what should I expect?

The recovery period after an eyebrow transplant is relatively quick. Most patients can resume normal activities within a couple of days. Mild swelling and bruising around the eyebrow area can occur but typically subside within a few days to a week. Small crusts may form around each transplanted hair but usually flake off within a week. It's important to avoid rubbing or scratching the transplanted area to ensure proper healing. The transplanted hairs will initially fall out – a normal part of the process – before permanent hair begins to grow in about 3 to 4 months. Full results are typically seen within 6 to 12 months.

Do 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 on your eyebrows to keep it at the length you want it to be.
