What is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic surgery to make eyebrows look fuller and thicker. The surgery is performed by a plastic surgeon or a cosmetic surgeon, wherein the doctor removes hair follicles from the scalp and implants them in the eyebrows. Eyebrow transplant is a modern remedy for thin and sparse eyebrows, an alternative solution for people who used to rely on makeup products to fill in the eyebrow hairs. The treatment has gained high interest among people in recent years as a highly effective solution for thin eyebrows. Over 9,500 hair transplant procedures were completed in 2020 in the United States. Eyebrows play an important role and not just in enhancing the aesthetics of the face. They divert moisture and seat droplets and prevent them from entering the eyes. If you are not satisfied with how your eyebrows look and wish to modify them, you can get in touch with the best cosmetic surgeon for eyebrow transplant in Bangalore and undergo the procedure with extreme precision and without any hassles.

Eyebrow Transplant - What Happens Before and During the Procedure?

Before an eyebrow transplant, the cosmetic surgeon would discuss and try to understand the goals for the treatment. There is no extensive diagnosis that is required before an eyebrow transplantation. But, the surgeon is likely to do the following during the consultation:

 

  • Ask about your medical history, your family history, your lifestyle, the medications you are taking (if any).
  • Discuss your expectations from the eyebrow transplant surgery.
  • Examine the quality and texture of your eyebrows and determine the location on the scalp that could possibly be the best donor area. The donor area is from where the hair follicles shall be removed to replace the eyebrows.
  • Explain the potential risks, complications, and side effects involved in the procedure.
  • Help you understand about anesthesia, how long the transplantation shall take, and how long it will take for you to recover after the procedure.

 

Apart from this, if you have any queries or concerns related to the surgery, you should clarify with the surgeon so you are aware of how the treatment is going to make a difference in your appearance, immediately or in the long run.

 

During eyebrow transplantation:

The procedure of hair transplantation is very similar to that of hair transplantation. 

The steps involved in the procedure are explained below- 

 

  • The cosmetic surgeon administers anesthesia in the donor area to harvest healthy hair grafts. The donor area is then made accessible by trimming the hair and the desired eyebrow shape is created. 
  • The surgeon uses a punch device or scalpel to extract the hair grafts with precision. The hair grafts are placed separately in a chilled saline solution and arranged in the order they will be implanted. 
  • All hairs that need to be implanted are not extracted at once, as the out-of-body time of the follicles should be less than one hour. 
  • The surgeon uses an implant device to implant the hair follicles in the eyebrow region. The hair growth direction and angle are also considered during the implantation. Sometimes, a slit is made in the skin before implanting the hair follicles. 
  • Once all the grafts are implanted, the donor and recipient areas are cleaned and left open to heal. 

 

The entire procedure takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to complete. However, for some patients, the duration may be longer depending on the number of hairs that need to be implanted.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes thinning of eyebrows?

There is no defined and definite cause of thin eyebrows. Thinning of eyebrows could result from genetics, aging, alopecia areata, constant plucking or hypothyroidism. In rare cases, the condition could also result from a reaction to certain medications.

Is an eyebrow transplantation a painful procedure?

No. An eyebrow transplantation is not painful since the entire treatment is done under anesthesia. But like any other surgical procedure, once the effects of anesthesia wear off, you might feel a little pain and discomfort in and around the surgical site, which is likely to subside with time and medications that the surgeon recommends.

How long do the results of an eyebrow transplant last?

Most cosmetic surgeons claim that the results of eyebrow transplant last for a lifetime. Once the hair follicles are implanted, they remain in place until any injury affects them.

How to maintain the eyebrows after they are transplanted?

The growth and maintenance of the eyebrows depend upon you. While natural eyebrows tend to stop growing after they are about half an inch, those which are transplanted from the scalp keep growing. Hence, after an eyebrow transplant, you may need to regularly trim your eyebrows to maintain the length of the hair as you want it to be.

When can I resume work after getting an eyebrow transplant?

In the most common scenario, you can resume work after 5 days following the eyebrow transplant. But in case your work involves strenuous activities, the eyebrow transplant surgeon may suggest waiting for 10 to 14 days before resuming work.

Does eyebrow transplant leave scars?

Eyebrow transplants are usually done via minimally invasive techniques, such as DHI and FUE. Hence, the scarring after the procedure is negligible. Over time, the scars heal, and their appearance is likely to fade away completely.

How many hair grafts are used during an eyebrow transplant?

Typically, around 70 to 120 grafts are enough for an eyebrow transplant and to reconstruct them entirely. The number of grafts used will vary from individual to individual, depending on specific requirements. Typically, males need more hair grafts than females.

I don't want to undergo an eyebrow transplant. Is there any alternative treatment?

Microblading or eyebrow tattoos is an alternative solution to eyebrow transplant. However, these alternative methods are not as effective as eyebrow transplants. The surgical implantation of the hair grafts provides long-lasting and natural results and rarely requires touch-ups. On the other hand, the results of other techniques are usually not satisfactory and require touch-ups.

Do eyebrow transplants give successful results?

Yes, an eyebrow transplant is considered to be a highly successful and effective cosmetic surgery to improve the fullness of the eyebrows. However, the results of an eyebrow transplant may not be immediate; it may take several months for you to see the outcome of the treatment. It is also to be noted that the effectiveness of the procedure entirely depends on how well the grafts adapt to the new location and how you take care of the eyebrows after the procedure.

What to Expect After Eyebrow Transplant Surgery? 

Ideally, there is no major concern after an eyebrow transplant. However, you can expect slight discomfort, redness, bruising, and haziness right after the surgery. In addition, you are likely to feel disoriented due to the effects of anesthesia. Thus, it’ll be best for the patient to arrange a ride home.

As the surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, you will likely be discharged the same day after giving a detailed post-surgery care guide. The next day, the treated area may start to swell up, and in the next few days, scabs or crusts may also form over the implanted follicles. 

 

Benefits of Eyebrow Transplant

Getting an eyebrow transplant has the following benefits- 

  • Denser Eyebrows- Once the implanted hairs start to grow, the patient will have denser and thicker eyebrows that will enhance their facial features. 
  • Boost Self-Confidence- Both men and women with thin eyebrows often feel conscious about their appearance. Once they get the desired shape and density, their self-image will improve which will further give them confidence. 
  • Minimally Invasive Procedure- The techniques used for an eyebrow transplant are minimally invasive. Hence, there is minimal blood loss, scarring, and risks associated with the treatment. 
  • Long-lasting Solution- Eyebrow transplant surgery results are long-lasting as it involves using healthy hair follicles that are likely to retain the ability to grow new hair for a very long time. Thus, the patient won’t have to rely on makeup products to make their eyebrows look denser and thicker. 
  • Natural Results- As the patient’s own hairs are used for the transplant, the color and texture of the implanted hairs match the eyebrow hairs. Thus, the results look completely natural. 

 

Recovery Tips After Eyebrow Transplant

Recovery after an eyebrow transplant can take up to 4 to 6 weeks. The healing process after an eyebrow transplant is quicker than other hair transplant treatments. The patient will be able to resume normal activities within a week and all activities after several weeks.

To ensure that the recovery is quick and smooth, the doctor will provide instructions, such as

  • Take the prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, pain medications, steroids, etc., as directed by the doctor. 
  • Keep the donor and recipient area clean and dry. Use warm water and a soft cloth to clean the areas. 
  • Avoid touching the eyebrows completely as it can increase the risks of infection in the recipient area. 
  • Wear bandages as advised and change them frequently as directed by the doctor or his/her team. 
  • Don’t wash the eyebrows without the doctor’s permission. It’s usually safe for the patients to wash their face and eyebrows after 5 to 7 days. 
  • Crusts or scabs will start to form over the implanted hairs within 5 to 10 days. Do not try to peel them off forcibly. They will start falling on their own after some time. 
  • Avoid engaging in strenuous activities until the donor and recipient areas have healed completely. 
  • Take regular follow-ups with the doctor to ensure there are no signs of post-op complications. 

It is crucial to follow the post-op care tips given by the doctor to get the best results and prevent post-surgery complications.
