Eyebrow transplantation is one of the most preferred treatment methods, especially by women. Because women regularly and constantly remove their eyebrows, a process called spitting takes place on their eyebrows. Eyebrows lose thickness and volume in their youth. With an eyebrow transplant, it is possible to regain the old volume and thickness of the eyebrows. Eyebrows can also be lost from trauma, burns and accidents. In these groups of patients, eyebrow transplantation has been successfully applied.
How is an eyebrow transplant performed?
Eyebrow transplantation is performed with the logic of FUE hair transplantation. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes 3-4 hours. Eyebrow transplantation uses roots from the nape area. These roots need to be placed at a certain angle and in a certain direction to the area to be transplanted. Hair follicles emerge from the skin at a 45 degree angle. Eyebrows are very different. They emerge from the skin at an angle of about 10-15 degrees. They have a shape directed upwards in the inner part of the eyebrow, parallel to the ground when they reach the middle, and slightly downwards in the outer part of the eyebrow. Therefore, care should be taken when opening channels during planting. Otherwise, if the eyebrow is planted incorrectly, it may happen. that they come out in the opposite direction or down. For this reason, eyebrow transplantation is a procedure that must be performed by a specialist
What should be considered after the treatment?
It is possible to see very small, pinhead-sized crusts in the planting area for a week. However, since these crusts quickly peel off, they do not prevent the patient from returning to his daily life and work. It is recommended that the person who has undergone eyebrow transplantation should not go to the sea or pool for two weeks, do not expose himself to intense sun exposure, do not take up solarium and avoid intensive sports.
Does an eyebrow transplant help to reshape them?
With this method it is possible to give the eyebrow the desired shape. It can be done during eyebrow transplantation to make the pointed eyebrow blunt, make the head part thicker and straighten the curved eyebrow.
When do eyebrows grow after eyebrow transplant?
It begins to appear 3 months after planting. At the end of a period of about 7-8 months, the eyebrows take on their final shape. It should also be noted that after planting, the eyebrows fall out after 15 days, just like the hair. The molting process lasts up to 3 months. After the 3rd month, the eyebrows will not fall out. Because the root of eyebrow transplantation is taken from the hairs on the back of the neck, they grow as fast as hair. For this reason, it makes sense to trim the tops at 15-day intervals. By the end of a year, the eyebrows adapt to the characteristics of the place where they are transplanted, and their growth rate slows down. The need for trimming is reduced. After 1 year, when the eyebrows begin to take on the characteristics of the place where they were transplanted, their growth rate will slow down and the need for this trimming and correction will gradually decrease.
