EYEBROW TRANSPLANT

Information About Eyebrow Transplant

What is eyebrow transplantation?

The eyebrows,in the shape of an arc, are important structures that contribute to the beauty and expression of our face, help us with our gestures and mimics and help us express our emotions and thoughts. If the eyebrow wholeness is spoiled, it may affect your facial expressions.


• Eyebrows can be lost due to accidents, traumas, burns, stress and some diseases. In addition, frequently shaping your eyebrows can lead to permanent loss of eyebrows and some areas of the eyebrows do not grow back even if they are wanted to be thickened later on As often said, “the eyebrows break their ties with you”. 


• Eyebrow transplantation is an effective method for relieving loss of eyebrows or for people who want thicker eyebrows. Eyebrow transplantation is a procedure consisting of the transplantation of the hair follicles taken from the fall-resistant area in the back of the head to the eyebrow area.   


• The new form to be given to eyebrows can be planned in line with the patient’s wishes provided that it is within the anatomical limits. The eyebrows should start inward of the eyelids and continue to extend a few mm beyond the outer edges of the eyelids. The procedure is performed and planned to stay within these anatomical boundaries and the closest shape that the patient requested is tried to be accomplished.    

• These follicles taken from the nape region should be placed at a certain angle and a certain direction to the region to be transplanted. The angle and direction of the eyebrows are arranged in three different regions of the eye in separate directions and at separate angles. While the eyebrow is being transplanted, the canals are opened and the follicles should be placed, paying attention to the direction and the angle of the three different regions of the eyebrows. For this reason, it is recommended that the operation is performed by an experienced physician. When performed by experienced people, natural and successful results are obtained.

  

• The procedure takes about 2-3 hours under local anesthesia. After the operation, the patient may return home on foot. Scabs that are the size of a pinhead may appear on the operated area. The patient will be able to return to work and social life as the scabs will be cleared after an average of 10 days.    


• The transplanted hair starts to grow after 3 months and reaches its full growth within 12 months and takes its final shape.    


• In the first year, the eyebrows grow as fast as hair because they will show the characteristics of the region they have been taken. The tips must be trimmed with scissors every 15 days. After 1 year (second year) they will start having the eyebrow characteristics, the growth rates will slow down and the need to cut and trim will be reduced.       

Note: For every operation, before the process, always consult an expert/authorized physician.
