FUE Eyebrow Transplant

Thin or thick eyebrows, well-grown or completely natural… Fashion trends for eyebrows are changing and most women follow them. But eyebrows suffer and after some time, either due to waxing or simply due to age, gaps and loss of hairs in strategic places can be noticed. In addition, injuries or burns lead to scarring and loss of hair on the eyebrows. Nowadays it is easy to correct the appearance of eyebrows in all these cases. The solution is offered by eyebrow implantation with the FUE technique that can achieve partial or total restoration and provide you with eyebrows that fit your face, “fill in” gaps and restore their lost density.

FUE Eyebrow Implantation - How it is done

Who it is for

The restoration of eyebrow hair is applied in every case of thinning and can even be done in cases of alopecia alopecia in the eyebrows, provided that the damage is localized and stable for more than a year. Also, eyebrow implantation can be a permanent solution to restore the density of the eyebrows in pathological conditions of hair loss, as in the case of hypothyroidism.

FUE eyebrow implantation can be performed on men and women of any age, although most cases of eyebrow reconstruction involve women aged 30-50 years old. FUE eyebrow implantation is the recommended technique for hair restoration in the area, as it is a minimally invasive method using micro instruments to avoid tissue removal and subsequent scarring of the skin.

After the application of the FUE technique for eyebrow implantation, the appearance of new hairs begins gradually in the following days and the final result appears relatively early, within 4-6 months, due to the rich blood supply of the area. The sprouting of new hairs continues even 12 months after the procedure.

FAQs

One session of eyebrow transplantation with FUE technique may require any number of follicles from a few dozen e.g. for covering a small scar, up to several hundreds for full eyebrow restoration in cases of alopecia areata or serious burns.

Regarding eyebrow transplantation with FUE technique, hair follicles are harvested from the scalp using tools of very small diameter (0.7-0.8 mm), in order to obtain very fine follicles that mimic the natural eyebrow hairs as much as possible.

The whole procedure is done under local anaesthesia with lidocaine and adrenalin solution. Due the specific nature of eyebrow transplantation, which is typically performed on female patients and requires follicles of a small diameter from a donor site of limited extent, it is possible, thanks to FUE technique, to extract hair follicles without shaving the donor site. Usually only a small area of the occipital scalp needs to be cut, otherwise the session may be entirely unshaven.

The FUE eyebrow transplant usually requires 1-2 sessions for the best possible results, especially in case of total restoration and if a high density is required.

The procedure is preceded by design of the shape and determination of the length and width of each eyebrow, in accordance with the wishes of each individual and the anatomical features of the patient’s face.

The hair follicles of small diameter that are required for the eyebrow transplantation are usually extracted by manual or automated extraction; The implantation of grafts for eyebrow restoration is a particularly challenging task that requires careful placement under the same angle and direction as the existing eyebrow hairs.

The implantation is performed by using a special implanter device which allows positioning of each hair follicle at the proper depth and angle, in order to achieve a natural effect to the maximum possible extent.

The robotic hair transplantation presents some particular difficulties that make it very challenging to export intact hair follicles of a very small diameter and to increase the transection rate of the grafts.

FUE is an absolutely safe method, provided it is performed by an experienced and qualified plastic surgeon such as Dr. Vekris and the medical team of Advanced Hair Clinics. The postoperative course is completely smooth with minimal pain, although there is small likelihood of swelling in the forehead during the first days after the procedure. The patient can resume work or any normal activity or exercise after a few days to a week.

The results of the eyebrow transplantation are permanent and become visible within a few months. Usually, the new hairs that originate from the scalp initially need periodic trimming in order to maintain the correct length, but will gradually acquire the same behaviour and direction as the pre-existing eyebrow hairs.

The cost of each eyebrow transplantation session depends on whether the procedure concerns only one or both eyebrows, and on the degree of thinning of the hairs, which differs from one patient to the other.
