Eyebrow Transplantation

Cosmedica Clinic Eyebrow Transplantation

An eyebrow transplant can restore hair to the eyebrows if they have become too thin or they have disappeared completely. There are several possible reasons for losing hair on your eyebrows, including:

• Heredity
• Laser hair removal
• Electrolysis
• Plucking
• Trauma
• Burns

With an eyebrow transplant, you can have growing hair permanently restored to the eyebrows. You can also make thin eyebrows noticeably fuller or cover scars on the brow more effectively.

How Eyebrow Transplantation Works

Eyebrow transplantation takes roughly 2 hours of operating time. Donor hairs are harvested from your scalp by the surgeon. With the patient under mild sedation, tiny incisions are made at a natural angle and the hairs are grafted onto your eyebrows.

Hundreds of hairs can be placed during the procedure, depending on your specific goals.

What to Expect After Eyebrow Transplantation

Typical recovery time is less than one week.

During the initial recovery period, some flaking and crusting may occur near the transplanted hair, followed by slight pink discoloration. If sutures are used in the donor area, they will be removed after one week.

Transplanted hair will often fall out after the procedure, but it should grow back on its own.
