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:
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.Â

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.Â
