What does the eyebrow transplant involve?

Thin or irregular eyebrows can be a bothersome issue, as they may detract from facial symmetry and balance, leading to a less defined and youthful look. Many people choose to undergo an eyebrow transplant to restore natural-looking fullness and shape to their eyebrows.

An eyebrow hair transplant using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method involves the harvesting of individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and transplanting them into the eyebrows to enhance their shape, density, and appearance.

At Dr. Ducu Clinics we utilise the FUE method for eyebrow transplantation because it allows for precise harvesting of donor hairs without leaving a linear scar, making it suitable for creating delicate and aesthetically pleasing eyebrow shapes.

Why do we use FUE for eyebrow transplant?

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has become increasingly popular for eyebrow transplant.

Here are some of the most important benefits of the procedure:

Precision - FUE allows for precise harvesting of individual follicular units, enabling us to extract hairs from the donor area with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

Scarless healing - Unlike traditional strip harvesting methods, FUE leaves tiny, dot-like scars in the donor area that are virtually undetectable.

Customisation - FUE provides us with greater flexibility in selecting donor hairs of the appropriate length, thickness, and angle to match the natural direction and growth pattern of the existing eyebrows.

Minimal downtime - FUE eyebrow transplantation is minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia. This allows for quicker recovery and minimal downtime compared to traditional surgical techniques.

Why have an eyebrow transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a transformative procedure that has gained popularity, especially among women, for its ability to create fuller, natural-looking eyebrows. 

Many people struggle with thin or sparse eyebrows, which can be difficult to address with makeup alone. In fact, constant use of makeup can sometimes exacerbate the problem, leading to further thinning or irritation. 

An eyebrow transplant offers a permanent solution, restoring the shape and density of your brows for a more defined and youthful appearance.

Reasons to choose an eyebrow transplant:

  • Genetics – Naturally thin or sparse eyebrows that don’t respond to growth serums or treatments.
  • Over-plucking – Damage from years of plucking or waxing, leading to permanent hair loss in the brow area.
  • Scarring – Loss of eyebrow hair due to scarring from injuries, surgeries, or burns.
  • Ageing – Thinning eyebrows caused by the natural ageing process.

With an eyebrow transplant, you can achieve a lasting, natural look that enhances your overall facial features, giving you the confidence of beautifully full eyebrows every day.

Eyebrow hair transplant at Dr. Ducu Clinics London

1. Consultation

Your eyebrows transformation begins with a comprehensive consultation with a qualified hair transplant surgeon at Dr. Ducu Clinics. During this initial appointment, the surgeon evaluates your eyebrow shape, density, and desired outcome. You will discuss your goals, medical history, and any concerns or questions you may have.

The surgeon will assess the donor area (typically from the side of the head, near the ear) to determine the availability of suitable hair follicles for transplantation. The hair from this side of the scalp is shorter than head hair and more suitable for eyebrow transplant.

2. Procedure

We will begin by numbing the treated area with local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Using a specialised extraction tool, the surgeon harvests individual hair follicles from the donor area, carefully selecting follicles of the appropriate length, thickness, and angle to match the natural growth pattern of the eyebrows. These follicles are then meticulously implanted into the recipient sites in the eyebrows, using tiny needles. The entire procedure is performed with precision and attention to detail to achieve natural-looking results.

Depending on the results you want to achieve, around 500-1000 grafts may be needed. These grafts are individually harvested and manually implanted. The procedure takes around 4-6 hours and you do not need to stay overnight.

3. Aftercare & recovery

Following the FUE eyebrow transplant procedure you will receive guidelines for cleaning and caring for the transplanted area, as well as recommendations for avoiding activities that may disrupt the healing process. You may experience some initial swelling, redness, and discomfort in the transplanted area, which typically subsides within a week to ten days.

Also, be prepared to experience some amount of scabbing. It’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions closely and attend follow-up appointments for monitoring to ensure a smooth recovery.

4. Results

In the weeks and months following the procedure, you will gradually see the final results as the transplanted hairs grow and blend in with the existing eyebrow hairs. The eyebrows will become fuller, thicker, and more defined, enhancing your overall facial appearance and symmetry. Please note that

Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon will allow for monitoring of the healing process and adjustment of the treatment plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcome from the FUE eyebrow transplant procedure.

FUE eyebrow transplant in London vs Tattooing and Micro blading

When it comes to enhancing your eyebrows, many people consider options like tattooing and microblading as alternatives to an eyebrow transplant. While these procedures can provide a temporary solution, they often fall short of delivering the truly natural look that many desire.
Unlike tattooing and microblading, which involve applying pigment to the skin, an eyebrow transplant uses your own hair to create full, natural eyebrows that blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
Here are some key differences:

Longevity:

Eyebrow Transplant provides a permanent solution using your natural hair, with results that last a lifetime.

Tattooing and Microblading are temporary solutions that typically fade over time, requiring regular touch-ups.

Appearance:

Eyebrow Transplant delivers a natural, three-dimensional appearance with real hair that grows and can be groomed like normal brows.

Tattooing and Microblading causes the eyebrows to look flat and artificial, especially as the pigment fades.

Maintenance:

Eyebrow Transplant requires minimal maintenance once the transplanted hair has grown in.

Tattooing and Microblading requires regular touch-ups to maintain colour and shape, with potential fading or discoloration over time.

Eyebrow transplant London - Frequently asked questions

Ideal candidates for eyebrow transplant are individuals who are bothered by thinning, sparse, or irregular eyebrows. These individuals may have experienced eyebrow hair loss due to factors such as genetics, over-plucking, aging, medical conditions, or trauma. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.

Eyebrow transplant is safe when performed by a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon. Like any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks and potential complications associated with eyebrow transplant, including infection, bleeding or scarring. However, these risks are minimum.

No, in eyebrow transplant procedures, using the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method, the scars from graft harvesting are typically minimal and often not visible to the naked eye.

The results of an eyebrow transplant are typically permanent. Once the transplanted hair follicles have taken root and begun to grow in the recipient area, they continue to grow like natural eyebrow hairs. Of course, genetics, aging, and lifestyle factors can affect the longevity of the results. But with proper care, the results can be mentained on the long run.

In general, eyebrow transplant surgery typically takes several hours to complete, with most procedures lasting between 4-6 hours. The actual surgical time may be shorter or longer depending on factors such as the number of hair follicles being transplanted and the complexity of the eyebrow shape and design.

Yes, eyebrows continue to grow after a transplant. Once the transplanted hair follicles have taken root and begun to grow in the recipient area, they typically continue to grow like head hair. Therefore, regular maintenance may be required to trim and shape the eyebrows as needed to maintain the desired appearance.

You should refrain from touching or rubbing the transplanted area, avoiding exposure to excessive sunlight, and refraining from swimming or soaking in water. You should also avoid strenuous exercise or physical activity. Additionally, you should not apply makeup or skincare products to the transplanted area and you may be advised to abstain from smoking or alcohol consumption during the recovery period.

You can expect to return to work within a few days to a week after the eyebrow transplant procedure. This is provided that your job does not involve strenuous physical activity or exposure to factors that could compromise the healing process.

 During the eyebrow transplant, you will undergo local anaesthesia to numb the treatment area, which helps minimise discomfort during the procedure. As a result, most patients report feeling little to no pain during the actual transplant process. After the procedure, you may experience some soreness, swelling, or discomfort in the transplanted area, which can be managed with pain medications prescribed by the surgeon.

You can expect to have several follow-up appointments in the weeks and months following eyebrow transplant to monitor your progress, assess healing, and address any concerns or questions that may arise.
