The ideal candidates for a men’s eyebrow transplant are those experiencing thinning, patchy, or completely missing eyebrows due to genetics, over-plucking, scarring from injuries or burns, or medical conditions like alopecia. Candidates should have a healthy donor area (usually the back of the scalp) and be in good overall health to ensure proper healing and long-lasting results.

Yes, eyebrow transplant is a safe and minimally invasive procedure when performed by experienced specialists. Since the procedure uses your own hair, there is no risk of rejection or allergic reactions. Some mild swelling or redness may occur post-procedure, but these effects subside within a few days.

No, grafting scars from an eyebrow transplant are not visible when performed using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique. This method involves extracting individual hair follicles with a micro-punch tool, leaving tiny, nearly undetectable marks that heal quickly. With proper care and a skilled surgeon, scarring is virtually nonexistent.

The results of a men’s eyebrow transplant are permanent, as the transplanted hair follicles are taken from a donor area resistant to hair loss (typically the back of the scalp). Once the new hairs fully grow in—usually within 6 to 12 months—they will continue to grow just like natural eyebrow hair.

The eyebrow transplant surgery typically lasts between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the number of grafts needed and the complexity of the procedure. The duration varies based on factors such as eyebrow shape, density goals, and individual hair characteristics. Since the procedure is performed using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, it involves careful follicle extraction and precise implantation, which requires time and precision.

Yes, the eyebrows continue to grow after a transplant. Since the transplanted hair follicles are taken from the scalp, they maintain their natural growth cycle. This means that the new eyebrow hairs will grow longer than typical eyebrow hair, which may require occasional trimming to maintain the desired shape and length. Over time, the transplanted hairs will adjust to the new location and grow more in line with the natural eyebrow pattern, providing a fuller, more defined look that lasts for a lifetime.

After an eyebrow transplant, it’s essential to avoid certain activities to ensure proper healing and the best possible results. For the first 7 to 10 days, you should refrain from engaging in intense physical activity or exercise that could cause excessive sweating, as this can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of infection. It is also crucial to avoid rubbing or touching the eyebrow area to prevent dislodging the newly transplanted follicles. Direct sun exposure should be minimised, and it’s recommended to wear a hat or use sunscreen once healing begins to protect the delicate area. Additionally, swimming in pools, hot tubs, or oceans should be avoided for at least two weeks to prevent exposure to bacteria and minimise the risk of infection.

You can typically return to work within 1 to 2 days after an eyebrow transplant, depending on your personal comfort and the type of work you do. If your job does not involve physical exertion or exposure to irritants, you may feel well enough to resume normal activities relatively quickly. However, some mild swelling, redness, or scabbing may persist in the first few days, so it’s important to follow aftercare instructions to minimise these effects. For jobs that require more physical activity or exposure to sun or dust, you may need to take a few extra days off to ensure the healing process is not disrupted.

 An eyebrow transplant is generally not considered painful, as the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. This ensures that the area is completely numb during both the follicle extraction and implantation processes, so you won’t feel any pain. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure during the procedure, but it is usually well-tolerated. After the procedure, you may experience slight soreness, redness, or swelling in the treated area, but these side effects are typically temporary and can be managed with prescribed medication.

After an eyebrow transplant, typically one to two follow-up appointments are recommended. The first follow-up is usually scheduled within 7 to 10 days after the procedure to monitor the healing process, assess the transplanted area, and remove any scabs or stitches if necessary. During this visit, your surgeon will ensure that the eyebrows are healing properly and address any concerns you may have. A second follow-up may be recommended around 3 to 6 months to evaluate the progress of hair growth and make sure the transplanted hairs are settling in and growing as expected. Additional follow-ups may be scheduled if any complications arise, though most patients experience smooth recoveries with little need for further appointments.
