Eyebrow Transplant
Similar to hair and beard transplantation, hair grafts taken from the donor area at the back of the head are transplanted to the eyebrow area. For eyebrow transplantation, the size, shape, density and placement angle of the grafts are very important and vary from patient to patient.
For example; Male patients tend to have thicker, wider and less curved eyebrows, while female patients have a thinner and more curved eyebrow structure. Since some races have thicker eyebrows than others, factors such as ethnicity should also be taken into account when performing eyebrow transplantation.
Grafts are carefully selected in terms of thickness and color. In order to preserve the natural thinness, only a single graft (follicle containing 1 hair) is transplanted to the eyebrows.
