Eyebrow Transplant

Overview

Eyebrows constitute a very important and prominent feature of the face. With growing information, eyebrow transplant has become a popular procedure. However, though it is a small area it requires a lot of precision and knowledge regarding anatomy, designing of brows, extraction and implantation technique.

An eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic procedure where hair grafts are transferred to your brow area. Like hair transplant surgery, during an eyebrow transplant hair is taken from a donor site and transferred to the brow area. This goal is that new hairs will grow from these grafts, producing a fuller look.

Conditions

The most common indications of eyebrow transplant are cosmetic such as congenital absence or inadequate coverage, of a normal appearing eyebrow requiring darker color or an uneven eyebrow with lack of lateral third or medial portion. The other common indications are trichotillomania, scar due to trauma, burn or tumors, stable alopecia areata, leprosy, etc

Eyebrows contribute to complete the animation of the face. common indications for eyebrow transplantation are

  • Thin eyebrows
  • Thermal burns
  • Acid burns
  • Trauma
  • Alopecia areata
  • Frontal fibrosing alopecia

What are the challenges or special considerations while operating in such conditions?

The brow is supposed to be individualized according to the face shape. The oval face will require a soft angled idealized brow. Long face should have flat eyebrows to make the face appear shorter. The goal in a square face is to soften or just balance a strong jawline.

Usually, most common complications are related to direction and curl, color and texture mismatch or lack of regrowth. These complications are operator dependent and decrease with experience and using the right technique. One potential risk of an eyebrow transplant is that the new hair follicles won’t take. In such cases, you may have to have the procedure done again in the future. Infection, swelling, bruise, folliculitis and scarring are rarely seen. A right candidate is one who has realistic expectations, understands limits in density achieved, has a pronounced defect than purely cosmetic purposes and stable or treated disease.
