Eyebrow Transplant

What is Eyebrow Transplant? How is It Operated?

Eyebrow transplant is among the most compelling procedures however, the result might be impressive when it is done by the experts.Hair transplant operation involves hair removal from an area of the body and planting onto eyebrow area. Healthy follicles are gathered from the donor area, usually from the back of the head, and transferred to form the eyebrow shape. Eyebrows have a significance as they shape the face. There may be many factors behind losing eyebrows, such as excessive bleeding, sickness,trauma, scarring and genetics.

Eyebrow transplant operations have a process of design just as other hair root transplant operations. Designs are created especially depending on the outcome wished by the patient and discussed by the doctor and patient. If all the details are decided, general appearance is shown to the patient with details. Thus, the first phase will be over. Important point here is the connection between the doctor and the patient and sharing every detail.

 

Gathering Hair Roots

Same as other hair transplant operations, hair root gathering is a part of eyebrow transplant. Therefore, while hair roots are analysed one by one and gathered delicately, they are gathered especially from the neck area. In hair transplant operations such as eyebrow, hair gathering area is usually neck and temporal sides. Neck is known as the most commonly used area in hair, beard and eyebrow transplant operations.

The common method used in eyebrow transplantation is the FUE technique. During the application of this technique, a 0.7 mm needle is used. While this needle is inserted into the skin to create a hole, the hair follicle is placed into this hole. The only painful aspect here may be the insertion of the needle into the skin; however, since local anesthesia is administered at the beginning of the operation, no pain, discomfort, or soreness is felt during the procedures.

 

Loss of Planted Eyebrow, Shock Loss Phase

Shock Loss phase occurs for every hair transplant operation. This phase is also valid for eyebrow transplant. A sudden hair loss occurs usually between 2nd and 6th weeks. Patients should not fear this and feel desperate. It is such that even all the transplanted hair might be lost on the shock loss phase. However, once 3 months have passed, hair roots will begin to regrow and eyebrows will start growing. Another point to consider is that the hair growing is observed between 3rd and 8th months depending on the patient. Meaning that while 3 month is valid for some patients, this process may take up to 8 months. Following year after the operation, eyebrows will return to normal and troubles will disappear.

 

How Long Do the Process Take?

Eyebrow transplant applications are completed in a time depending on the condition of the patient, his/her expectations and the decisions made. Generally taking between 2 and 4 hours, the application process might take longer or shorter considering the details that the patient wishes on the appearance. Another point to take into consideration is the time needed for the applications done by the expert.
