What is Eyebrow Transplantation?
Eyebrow transplantation is a popular treatment option, especially among women. Due to regular plucking, women may experience thinning and sparseness in their eyebrows over time. This can cause the eyebrows to lose the fullness and thickness they had during youth.
With eyebrow transplantation, it is possible to restore the eyebrows to their former fullness and thickness. Additionally, this procedure provides an effective solution for individuals who have lost their eyebrows due to trauma, burns, or accidents.
How is Eyebrow Transplantation Performed?
The eyebrow transplantation procedure is performed using the FUE technique. A small window is opened in the nape area, and hair follicles are extracted from this area. Channels are then opened in the transplantation area, considering the natural angle and direction. The follicles collected from the nape are carefully placed into these channels.
Hair follicles from the scalp and eyebrow follicles differ in their growth angles. While scalp hairs grow at a 45-degree angle from the skin, this angle drops to 10–15 degrees for eyebrow hairs. Additionally, eyebrows grow in different directions within their structure, making them complex. Incorrect transplantation can result in hair growing in opposite directions. Therefore, eyebrow transplantation should be performed by an experienced doctor.
