Eyebrow Transplantation

Eyebrow Transplantation

Candidates who need eyebrow transplantation are generally women. Our eyebrows, which are one of the most important elements of our eyes and face, can be lost for certain reasons. The most common form of loss in our candidates who applied to our clinic for eyebrow transplantation was due to accident or burn.

Eyebrow transplantation is generally the process of filling the missing areas in the eyebrow area in such cases. Another simple definition is eyebrow transplantation; It is the transfer of hair follicles taken from the nape area by drawing a certain line to the area where the deficiency is experienced, as in hair transplant or beard transplant procedures.

Eyebrow transplant operations are more sensitive than hair transplant operations. Although it may seem easy in general terms, the success of the job definitely depends on the expertise of the doctor and the team. The dimensions of the channels opened in eyebrow transplantation are very important, since swelling under the skin cannot be performed as in hair transplantation. Taken roots should be transplanted at equal intervals. During the operation, the roots taken from the donor area are transplanted without waiting too long. Since there is no waiting process in the solution, the roots taken do not suffer any loss or tissue death. This is one of the important factors that determine the quality of the process.

Another factor to be considered in the eyebrow transplant operation is the placement angle of the transplanted roots. Roots should be planted one by one at the same intervals between 20 and 30 degrees. The importance of the angle here is not that the growing eyebrows rise upright, but that they rise horizontally in the right direction, like their natural structure. We witnessed that most of the candidates who applied to our center and requested correction were the victims of eyebrow transplant operation with the wrong angle. Performing the procedure in the right methods and angles definitely requires expertise.

Eyebrow transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area (usually the scalp) to the eyebrows to enhance their shape, density, or fill in areas of hair loss. This procedure is typically performed for individuals who have thin, sparse, or absent eyebrows due to genetics, over-plucking, trauma, or medical conditions.

Here are some key points about eyebrow transplantation:

Donor Hair Selection: The hair follicles for transplantation are usually taken from the back of the scalp, as this area typically has hair that closely matches the texture and growth pattern of eyebrows. The surgeon carefully selects appropriate donor follicles to achieve natural-looking results.

Extraction Technique: The most common extraction technique used in eyebrow transplantation is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted using a small punch instrument. This minimally invasive approach leaves tiny, discreet scars that are easily concealable.

Recipient Site Creation: Before the transplantation, the surgeon designs the eyebrow shape in consultation with the patient, taking into consideration their facial features and desired outcome. Small incisions or recipient sites are then created in the eyebrow area to accommodate the transplanted hair follicles.

Hair Follicle Implantation: The extracted hair follicles are carefully implanted into the recipient sites using precise techniques. The surgeon places the follicles at specific angles and directions to mimic the natural growth pattern of eyebrows, ensuring a natural-looking result.

Recovery and Results: After the procedure, the transplanted eyebrow hairs may initially fall out within a few weeks. This is a normal part of the hair growth cycle, and new hair will begin to grow within a few months. Full results are typically visible within six to twelve months, with the transplanted eyebrows looking natural and permanent.

Post-Transplant Care: Following the procedure, the surgeon will provide instructions for post-transplant care, including gentle cleansing, avoiding certain activities that may disrupt the transplanted follicles, and using prescribed medications or topical solutions to promote healing and hair growth.

It's important to consult with a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon who specializes in eyebrow transplantation to assess your individual case, discuss your goals, and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. They can provide personalized recommendations and guide you through the process for optimal results.

Eyebrow Transplantation Procedure

The procedures of eyebrow transplantation are almost the same as other procedures. The method that is suitable for the candidate to be transplanted eyebrows is approved by the doctor and the process of the procedure is as follows.

★ Candidates for eyebrow transplantation are prepared for the operation by female nurses after ten consultations and local anesthesia is performed.
★ After the applied anesthesia shows its effect, the procedure is started and graft is taken from the donor area.
★ Channels are opened in the area to be transferred so that the roots taken are not kept waiting too long.
★ Grafts are transferred to these opened channels at an angle of 20 – 30 degrees at equal intervals. As we said before, the transplanted roots should not be placed in the canals at right angles.
★ After the transfer process is over, the candidate is dressed and allowed to eat, and after the operation, the drug kits and the prescription explaining how to use it are delivered to the candidate.
★ The next day, the first dressing is done and the doctor is checked. After receiving the doctor’s approval, our candidate is dropped off at the airport by our vehicle to return home.
★ The eyebrow transplantation process is checked online by our representatives at regular intervals until the candidate achieves the desired result.
