Consultation
An eyebrow transplant begins with a consultation at the clinic. The doctor examines and evaluates the alopecia area and the donor area. Then, taking into account the wishes of the patient, she/he creates the estimated shape and contours of the eyebrows. The patient is directly involved throughout the planning process. Also, before the transplant, the patient needs to undergo an examination and pass a number of tests.
Grafts extraction
The operation begins on the appointed day with the extraction of donor grafts. For this, as in hair transplantation, the graft is taken from the back of the head (occipital) region. The doctor shaves off a small area and begins to extract the hair follicles. The follicles are extracted one at a time and placed in a special container awaiting transplantation.
Transplantation
After collecting the required number of grafts, the doctor begins the transplant. The operation is performed using special, very thin surgical instruments, leaving no marks on the skin. The doctor transplants living follicles into the eyebrow area following the natural direction of hair growth to achieve a completely natural result. Depending on the amount of donor material, the duration of the procedure will be 2-4 hours.
Postoperative period
After the operation, the assistants treat the eyebrows with antiseptics, and the patient sees the initial result before the first dressing. The next day, the eyebrows are treated again and the necessary procedures are carried out for faster healing. In addition, the patient is given a set of special care cosmetics.
During the first 2 weeks after the operation, eyebrow care is the same as for a hair transplant: gentle cleansing, protection from sunlight and any mechanical impact. This is followed by “shock hair loss”. This is absolutely normal and you don’t need to be afraid of it. The follicles stay alive and healthy, the hairs just change. As early as 3 months after the eyebrow transplant, the patient will be able to assess the first visible changes. 8-12 months after the procedure, the patient will be able to assess the final result of the operation.
