Eyebrow Transplant Procedure

Importance of Eyebrows

Every detail on the human face is very important. Eyebrows are not just for looks; they also serve a purpose. Their main job is to protect the eyes from sweat and dust. We also use eyebrows to show feelings without speaking because of the muscles beneath them. However, eyebrows can lose their fullness and shape over time. An eyebrow transplant can help to make your eyebrows thicker and reshape them.

Best Hair for Transplanting

The best hair for eyebrow transplants comes from the nape, or back, of the neck. The hair there is strong and does not fall out easily.

Angle of the Eyebrows

During the transplant, it is crucial to consider the angle of the eyebrows.

Placement of Hair Roots

Another important factor is how the hair roots are placed. If the roots are not placed correctly, it can lead to scarring. Typically, there are 40 to 50 hair roots in each square centimeter of the transplant area.

Causes of Eyebrow Loss

There are several reasons why people may lose their eyebrows:

Aging

As we get older, changes in hormones can cause eyebrow hair to fall out.

Nutritional Deficiency

Not eating the right foods can lead to hair loss.

Drugs

Some medications can affect hair cells, causing eyebrows to thin or fall out, especially chemotherapy drugs.

Genetics

Conditions like male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss are common causes of eyebrow loss.

Mental Status

Stress and emotional shocks can also lead to temporary eyebrow loss.

Possible Side Effects of Eyebrow Transplant

There are very few complications with eyebrow transplants. Rarely, patients may experience bleeding, infections, or scars.

Importance of Experienced Doctors

However, if the doctor is not experienced, eyebrows may grow in different directions. Although recovery from an eyebrow transplant is quick, it is essential to choose a skilled surgeon for proper healing. We inform our patients about all risks, even small ones. The process of eyebrow transplant is similar to hair transplant, with a high success rate.

Eyebrow Transplant in Turkey

Eyebrow transplants are popular in Turkey. Methods like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are effective and provide long-lasting results.

Experience and Skill

To achieve a natural look, experience and skill are important. Many skilled hair surgeons in Turkey perform these operations.

Other Methods and Risks

Other methods, such as permanent makeup and tattoos, can harm the hair roots. Removing these with lasers can also damage them. Eyebrow transplants differ from these methods because they are more detailed and careful.

Role of the Doctor

Having an experienced doctor is crucial for a successful eyebrow transplant. The main doctor should perform the operation, not just an assistant.

Eyebrow Hair Transplant Methods

DHI is considered the best method for eyebrow transplants, but FUE is also suitable.

Anesthesia and Comfort

Patients receive local anesthesia during the procedure, which lasts a few hours for comfort. Doctors first identify the donor area, usually the nape, as it has strong hair roots that do not easily fall out.

Graft Numbers

An average of 500 grafts is usually enough for healthy-looking eyebrows. The number of grafts needed can vary based on the existing eyebrow size and thickness.

Proper Placement of Hair

The hair should be placed at a 45-degree angle for the best results. If not, the eyebrow may look uneven or grow in the wrong direction, so an experienced doctor is essential.

Results of Eyebrow Transplant

After the transplant, patients do not need to stay in the clinic. It is normal for some hair strands to fall out shortly after the operation.

Timeframe for Results

Over time, the new hair will help the eyebrows look natural. You will notice the density of your eyebrows increasing about three weeks after the procedure. You can see the final results about two months after surgery. This recovery time is relatively fast compared to other transplant procedures.

Aftercare Following Eyebrow Transplant

You may notice tiny crusts in the transplant area for about a week. These crusts go away quickly and do not stop you from returning to work or daily life.

Precautions to Take

• Wait at least two weeks before swimming in the sea or pool.
• Protect your eyebrows from strong sunlight and tanning beds.
• Avoid intense workouts for the first month.

Costs of Eyebrow Transplant

There is no standard price for eyebrow transplants. Clinics set prices based on the number of roots needed and the area treated.

Factors Affecting Cost

The experience of the clinic and the doctor is also important in determining costs. It's best to contact the clinic directly for detailed pricing information.

Quality Over Price

Quality is more important than cost. Look for different price options, but make sure to choose a clinic with a good reputation. An unsuccessful procedure may lead to regret.
