Eyebrow Transplants: Precision Surgery for Perfect Arches

The Importance of Eyebrows

Eyebrows are arguably the most important feature for facial symmetry and emotional expression. Over-plucking, trauma, burns, thyroid disorders, or simple genetics can leave eyebrows thin or entirely bare. While microblading and tattooing offer temporary visual fixes, an eyebrow transplant provides a permanent, 3D, natural solution.

The Intricate Procedure

An eyebrow transplant is one of the most delicate aesthetic procedures. It requires an incredibly high level of artistic skill from the surgeon.

• Extraction: Typically, 200 to 400 grafts are needed per eyebrow. These are extracted via FUE from a specific area at the back of the scalp where the hair is finest (often just above the nape of the neck), so it mimics natural eyebrow texture.
• Implantation: Only "single-hair" grafts are used. The surgeon must implant them at a very acute angle—almost completely flat against the skin—following the natural crisscross pattern of eyebrow growth. DHI pens are frequently used for this precision.

Post-Op Care and Maintenance

Recovery is swift, with minimal swelling around the eyes lasting a few days. The most critical thing to know post-operation is that because the hair comes from the scalp, it retains its scalp-like growth characteristics. This means your new eyebrows will continue to grow long and will require regular trimming (usually once a week) to maintain their shape.
