What You Need to Know About Eyebrow Transplants

While most people take eyebrows for granted, they have crucial anatomical functions. They protect your eyes from dust, sweat, and other debris. They also assist in expressing emotions and completing desired cosmetic looks. Eyebrow transplants are an increasingly important option for people who feel uncomfortable with their facial appearance.

More about Eyebrow Transplants

This procedure utilizes the standard FUE transplant technique to improve your eyebrow shape. It involves harvesting follicles from a donor region, opening implantation channels, and implanting the grafts. Dr. Williams doesn’t necessarily have to shave your eyebrows to perform this procedure.

Hair follicle extraction is a vital step in this process. It involves harvesting grafts behind your ears, from your scalp, or other suitable donor regions. After graft extraction, we’ll proceed to make small incisions in the recipient site using micro-blades. The final step involves transplanting the harvested grafts into these incisions.

What Are The Benefits Of Eyebrow Transplants?

Unlike microblading and tattooing, eyebrow transplants are permanent. You can treat it as you would natural hair, including dyeing, threading, and waxing. The transplanted grafts also continue growing like natural hair with a similar appearance to pre-surgery hairs. The recovery period after this procedure is relatively short. Although you’ll notice some scabbing within the first week, it’s a natural reaction.

Common Side effects

A potential adverse side effect of eyebrow transplants is the complete failure of new hair follicles to grow. In such instances, you might have to undergo another procedure. Dr. Williams’ expertise and precision help you avoid this eventuality.

It’s normal for the new grafts to fall off a few weeks after surgery. The new hair will begin growing several months later. Although rare, there are other potential complications after surgery. They include nerve damage, swelling, bruising, excessive bleeding, infection, and scarring.

Certain conditions may make you unsuitable for eyebrow transplants. They include bleeding disorders, alopecia areata, past cosmetic surgery complications, and trichotillomania.

Suitable Facilities for Eyebrow Transplants

Many different practitioners can perform eyebrow surgery, including dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons. A doctor may also conduct it as an outpatient procedure. That’s part of the reason you should be cautious when picking a practice. Do thorough research to ensure the highest quality consultation, tests, and surgery.

It’s advisable to get the procedure done at a facility that specializes in hair restoration. The Advanced Medical Hair Institute is a perfect example. We invest in the latest technology, training, and adherence to the highest industry standards.

Before settling on a surgeon, check out their online reviews. If possible, contact some of their former patients for one-on-one updates on their procedure. In addition to a medical license, accomplished surgeons such as Dr. Williams are also members of several industry bodies. They include the American College of Surgeons, ISHRS, and EHSRS.

The Benefits of Consultation

As with any other surgical procedure, consultation before eyebrow transplants is crucial. It allows Dr. Williams to perform thorough tests to ensure high-quality, natural-looking results.

You also have the opportunity to discuss your expectations in terms of esthetic goals. Examples are eyebrow thickness and shape. Although Dr. Williams will also ask for your medical history, it’s advisable to volunteer any other vital information.

An eyebrow transplant may sound like a simple procedure, but you should treat it as seriously as other surgical options.
