Eyebrow transplantation: procedure description and reviews

Modern surgery and cosmetology are so step in step with the times that with their help you can eliminate or fix any deficiency. For example, today the changes in the shape and transplantation of the superciliary arches are very popular. There may be a lot of reasons for the operation. When is eyebrow transplantation performed? Who can apply for this procedure? How is the operation? And what are the conditions for rehabilitation?

What is the procedure: general information

The operation is considered to be very thin, almost a jeweler's job, since it does not allow inaccuracies and misses. Its essence boils down to the following: the patient who is addressed is first given a suitable shape of the eyebrows, and then transplants the missing hair from one place to another. In this case, the client acquires thick brows or simply changes their shape.

According to experts, during this operation only hair follicles are used, which (depending on the condition of the damaged area of the eyebrow) will require an average of 50-350 pieces.

Transplantation is performed with very thin lancets and a small amount of local anesthetic. It lasts 2-3 hours.

Who should use transplantation?

Eyebrow transplant is performed not only when you want to improve your appearance, but also if it is really necessary. For example, it is known a specific case, when out of curiosity, one fair-sex representative looked under the gas column at the time of burning the wick. At that time, there was a small gas leak, and when a spark occurred, the ignition occurred faster than usual. As a result, the flame released to freedom seared the girl's eyebrows. According to her, there was practically nothing in their place.

The second case occurred with another girl who decided at all costs to lighten up her precious "threads" and strongly bled them with a low-grade cosmetic. As a result, the grief-experimenter received a burn, because of which the hair on the eyebrows ceased to grow (in the place where the skin surface was damaged).

And the third representative of the fair sex as a child fell from the swing, severely breaking an eyebrow. After the doctors sewed it, a scar appeared on the site of the hair growth. The hair transplant on the eyebrows helped to solve this problem.

As you can see, hair restoration on the eyebrows can be interesting in the following cases:

• If there was a full or partial loss of hair;
• If the transplant is necessary to mask the unattractive consequences of injuries and defects (in the presence of scars).

What other cases need hair transplant?

In addition to the above reasons, eyebrow transplantation will be necessary after the patient undergoes radio and chemotherapy (after which often hair loss is observed not only on the eyebrows, but also on the head). To hair loss can lead to aggressive and regular disposal of vegetation with tweezers. Over time, this leads to a breakdown in structure and growth, as well as a partial loss of eyebrows (hair ceases to grow at the treatment site).

And, finally, the violation of hair growth and their loss can be associated with the presence of somatic disease, with unbalanced diet and even with nervous exhaustion.

What is the sequence of the procedure?

The process of eyebrow transplantation occurs according to the following principle:

1. First, the doctor determines the donor area and the number of follicles used;
2. Then anesthetization of the donor site and the place of the final transplantation;
3. The removal of skin particles from healthy follicles from the transplant area is performed;
4. The obtained hairs are treated with a special solution that promotes early healing and improves the survival of donor grafts;
5. On the skin of the eyebrows, small incisions or incisions are performed;
6. In the received cuts hair-donors are placed.

But what happens after the eyebrow transplantation is completed? Patient feedback will help us to answer this question.

What are the first sensations after the operation?

The sensation that the patient receives after surgery is usually only understood by people who have undergone such a procedure. Some opinions will still help the reader to realize the consequences that arise immediately after transplantation. So, one of the patients writes that they had reddening and swelling in the area of hair transplantation. And these unattractive phenomena they lasted about a week. Then the swelling and inflammation gradually came to naught.

Other patients say that they had a slight pain in the eyebrow region for some time. They also had a headache. However, all the ailments passed after 6-7 days.

Which hair is most suitable for transplant?

According to experts, eyebrow transplantation is carried out using hair follicles taken from the area behind the ears or the neck area (the nape region). And for the operation, only those follicles that contain no more than 1-2 hairs are suitable.

If the hair on the head is too thin, then for the transplant use vegetation from the body.

How many operations are carried out?

Most often, to achieve a full-fledged effect, only one eyebrow transplant will be needed (patient reviews say exactly this). But in some cases the procedure must be repeated. However, this can be done no earlier than 4-6 months after the date of the first operation.

What additional care will be required?

According to surgeons, for some time the transplanted hair needs additional care. For example, after the operation, patients should come to the doctors for dressing; Avoid thermal effects, and do not work in a slope (this can provoke the appearance of swelling).

In addition, hair on the new eyebrows must initially be combed with a gel and comb. And as the hairs grow, they will need to be cut periodically (in particular, this applies to the hair removed from the occipital part of the head).

Hair transplant (eyebrows): reviews about the procedure

As some patients have argued, they were prompted by strongly thinning eyebrows to the operation. According to them, the process was painless and remembered by the skill of surgeons, who conducted "just a jewelry job". Many admire their "natural and beautiful eyebrows", which they appeared after the operation. They were impressed by the effect of naturalness.

In a word, transplantation is an excellent solution to the problem with thinning or partially missing hairs on the eyebrows.
