A trendy eyebrow is what is liked the most today. They enhance an appearance. The eyebrows can be arched, thin, rounded, or upward. For the full eyebrows, the solution is eyebrow lamination or micro blading. But, before one experiences a new outlook with eyebrow transplantation, some things must be considered. They are conducted in a step-by-step manner.

Eyebrow Transplantation Stages

A specialist doctor performs eyebrow transplantation just like the surgery on hair. Every operation is customized based on unique needs and the patient's condition. The procedure can take two to three hours as hundreds of grafts must be transplanted.

Consulting

A doctor will thoroughly perform a physical examination of the patient's health condition. They will design the eyebrows, decide thickness, healthy follicles availability from the donor site, etc.

Facial Shape 

A surgical plan is made considering the patient's overall health and convenience. The specialist doctor will look at the recipient and donor areas.

Extracting Graft

Local anesthesia is applied to the donor site before beginning the hair transplant for eyebrows. The techniques of eyebrow transplantation are:

  • FUT
  • FUE

In FUT, a small strip of healthy follicles scalp is removed. A lot of hair follicles are released in the process. Therefore, a narrow strip of the scalp is excised.
In FUE, hair follicles are individually removed. The remaining hair is covered with the donor site. The head is shaved before dealing with the follicles.
For preparing the grafts, the medical professional uses a microscope. At the same time, the doctor takes care of the graft's direction and angulation when the grafts are to be placed at the recipient site. After this step, the donor site is sterilized and bandaged.
In transplantation, the recipient site is sterilized, and the process is completed based on the hair follicles' diameter. Each graft is placed one at a time. It would take one to four hours, based on the graft transfer.

Recovery Period

A patient can immediately leave for home after completing the FUE eyebrow transplantation. The natural hair transplant procedure may leave some redness and trim crusts around the transplanted hair for a couple of days. Some patients would experience bruising and swelling around the eyes that will reduce after some time.
For FUT, the sutures at the donor site will be taken after some weeks leaving small scars.
In FUE, the hair follicles are extracted, and no scars are formed. So there will be no need for stitches. The eyebrows develop after two to three weeks, and so do the transplanted hair, which falls out naturally. The new hair will grow in a couple of months post the hair transplant for the eyebrows. The eyebrows would become thicker. The transplanted hair will need some additional care after it grows.

Conclusion

While patients can look forward to some of the benefits of eyebrow hair, there are many things to consider before treatment. Eyebrow transplantation is a permanent solution. They make the eyebrows look fuller and can be shaped in any way. Before a long-lasting result, the patient will undergo several stages of eyebrow transplantation. Every step brings us closer to the result. Have a nice one when your turn comes.
