Eyebrow transplantation

In short: eyebrow transplantation moves your own hairs from a donor area into sparse eyebrows, a lasting alternative to cosmetics. The transplanted eyebrows look noticeably fuller after 3-4 months.

Eyebrow transplantation instead cosmetics

In the early 2000’s, a new fashion trend swept the world. Thin eyebrows, picked as much as possible, were a measure of beauty. Its downside is seen nowadays, because as hair follicles found in the eyebrows were constantly thinned, over the time they were heavily damaged. However, since then this perception of beauty changed, various cosmetic companies are still bringing to focus the products, which can help covering the eyebrow’s imperfections. Eyebrow pencils, gels, powders and eyebrow tattoos are also found on the market, but (except for the last one) each of these counts as an occasional solution to the problems. Although, there is an even less common solution to thicken the eyebrows, and this is exactly what eyebrow transplantation is.

Pros of eyebrow transplantation and the phases of healing

The interesting part of eyebrow transplantation is that hair can not be extracted only from the nape, but the area behind the ears is also suitable. This can offer a great solution to those, who are not willing to have their hair cut in the back, due to some kind of public appearance, photo session or otherwise.

A further advantage of transplantation is that the person’s own hair is transplanted, so the eyebrows will become more thick and the look will be absolutely natural. We all know it well, that eyebrow is a really defining element of one’s facial characteristics. Therefore, it is very important to emphasise that eyebrow transplantation can help achieving a brand new profile and youthful appearance, somewhat a little earlier than by the help of the popular hair transplantation. While hair transplantation reaches to its full splendour usually in the 12th month, in this case, after just 3-4 months our remarkably rich eyebrows can look back at us in the mirror.

The regeneration period begins in the first few days, slight itching might be expected these times, and also so-called scabs will appear, which are going to slough off within 2-3 days. It is quite important, not to react to the itching nor to the scabs. In this case all we have to do is wait patiently for the body to heal itself.

What kind of methods are used for eyebrow transplantation?

The eyebrow transplantation is not differing in much from the ways of usual hair transplantation. Both the Trivellini and the FUE methods are perfectly serving the needs of eyebrow transplantation, since with the precise and thin needles, today we can extract and transplant the patient’s own hairs from the donor area without any marks.

One of the many advantages of the Trivellini FUE Mamba, compared to the older FUE and SafeSystem-FUE methods is that its headpiece is able to perform motions to multiple directions, instead of the previous circular motion (for example, oscillate). By this, the grafts can be extracted much more safely, since if the headpiece could move only in circles, it could more easily cut the intact grafts’ hairs.

Possibly, the most uncomfortable part of the eyebrow transplantation is the application of local anesthesia, which might cause a minor pain only. After the agent spread across the area, the whole process is going easily without any pain. According to our patients’ reviews, the hardest part for them was „to sit in one "place" during the procedure.

Eyebrow transplantation prices

At first glance, the price of an eyebrow transplantation might seem a bit expensive. But we have to keep in mind how permanent this intervention is, and that its results will last a life long. Just the way, we can not fix the price of a beard transplant, neither can we do it by an eyebrow transplantation. The only difference being the amount of needed grafts, because in this case, a less amount of grafts is enough to achieve the desired change, since the area is also smaller.

Prior to every operation, we manage to have a consultation, where the patient gets a presonalised diagnosis about the number of grafts to be transplanted, the hair/eyebrow density and about the alternatives if for some reasons the desired transplantation can not be performed. On the other hand, the hair implant prices menu can serve as a great starting point, as we perform eyebrow transplantations with the same devices as on the scalp, as well as we count the grafts at the same price.

In what cases eyebrow transplantation is not recommended?

• In the case of having any kind of bleeding disorders

• If the patient is diagnosed with Alopecia areata

• In the case of Trichotillomania

• If the patient has curly hair

• If the patient had previous cosmetic interventions and has had some complications

It is our medical and professional duty, to take the exact medical diagnosis seriously, as the preliminary examinations must reveal, among other things, the ones listed above. This is the reason why our prior consultations do not last only 15 minutes, as during this short time, we could hardly make a precise diagnosis.
