Eyebrow Transplant

How is the eyebrow transplant operation performed?

Before the transplantation of eyebrows, which are one of the most attention grabbing parts of the face and one of the most important areas that directly affect facial expression, a detailed examination is performed by the physician, and then a personalized eyebrow design is made that is most suitable for the face.  

Eyebrow transplant is performed using the techniques called FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), which is the most common technique used in hair, beard and mustache transplant. The procedure performed under local anesthesia lasts about 2 to 6 hours, and patients don’t feel pain or ache during the operation. Patients are discharged the same day after the operation that is performed in the clinic. In eyebrow transplant, hair follicles extracted from the nape of the neck or other parts of the body deemed appropriate by the physician are used.

Hair follicles extracted using a medical device similar to tweezers called micropunch are placed in the eyebrow area, which has been designed to be have the most suitable shape for the face, in a certain direction and at a certain angle, based on the result of the detailed discussion between the physician and the patient.

Since the inner parts of the eyebrows extend upwards, the middle parts are parallel to the ground and the outer parts extend downwards, and since they grow out of the skin at an angle of about 10-15 degrees, unlike the hair, the procedure is performed by opening thin channels with a sapphire blade and then placing the hair follicles carefully. As a result, the eyebrows planted in accordance with the patient’s existing eyebrows and the designed plan gain a very natural appearance.

The number of hair follicles that differs from person to person is determined based on a variety of criteria such as the person’s request and expectation from the transplant procedure, whether his/her eyebrows are thin or he/she has not eyebrow at all, the thickness and shape of the eyebrows and their compatibility with the face, and then the procedure is performed accordingly.

Drugs that carry a risk of bleeding during the transplant process (blood thinners or supplements and teas with the same effect) should not be used.
