Doctor Edges Eyebrow Transplant 

If you are among the many women and men that desire fuller, natural appearing eyebrows, an eyebrow transplant is ideal for restoring hair growth or redefining thin or sparse eyebrows. Eyebrows with increased definition are becoming the most attractive and sought-after look. Our highly trained physicians approach this cosmetic eyebrow transplant surgery with unique skill and expertise. 

What is an eyebrow transplant? 

Eyebrow transplants require hair grafts to be surgically removed from the donor area and implanted into the eyebrow. At the beginning of the procedure, the surgeons at Doctor Edges will trim the hair from the donor area. The donor area is a part of your scalp that the surgeon will remove to transplant onto your eyebrows. The hair grafts are put into place at your eyebrows after a surgical slit is made in your skin to make room for the graft in your eyebrows. Afterwards, the surgeons will stitch the transplant area back together depending on the type of donor removal the surgeons deem is best for you. 

What happens before an eyebrow transplant? 

Before an eyebrow transplant procedure, the surgical team at Doctor Edges will examine the hair growth on your eyebrows and assess the potential donor area on your scalp, identifying a section of skin with hair follicles suitable for transplantation to achieve your desired eyebrow appearance. Subsequently, you will have a consultation with the medical professionals at Doctor Edges to discuss your goals, medical history, family medical history, lifestyle, and current medications, ensuring suitability for the procedure. Expectations regarding potential risks and side effects will be addressed, along with detailed explanations of anesthesia type, surgery duration, and pre-surgery preparations will be provided. 

What happens after an eyebrow transplant? 

After undergoing an eyebrow transplant surgery, you can typically return home on the same day as the procedure, as it's rare to require overnight hospitalization. The Doctor Edges team will provide detailed instructions for post-operative care. 

What are the advantages of an eyebrow transplant? 

At Doctor Edges, our primary goal is to ensure our patients regain their confidence and feel their best. An eyebrow transplant offers several advantages, including a transformative change to one's appearance, which can significantly boost self-confidence. With fuller, well-defined eyebrows achieved through transplantation, individuals often find themselves more satisfied with their overall aesthetic, leading to heightened self-assurance and a positive self-image. Additionally, for those who previously relied on makeup to fill in sparse or uneven eyebrows, an eyebrow transplant eliminates the need for daily cosmetic application, providing a more permanent solution to achieving desired eyebrow aesthetics. 

What are the risks of an eyebrow transplant? 

As with any cosmetic procedure, eyebrow transplant surgery carries inherent risks that patients should be aware of. These risks may include scarring, pain, swelling, infection, bruising, and the possibility of experiencing loss of feeling or some hair follicles at the surgical site. Prior to undergoing the procedure, the Doctor Edges team will discuss these potential risks and any associated side effects with you. It's essential to address any questions or concerns you may have about the procedure with the Doctor Edges surgeons to ensure a clear understanding of the risks involved and to make an informed decision regarding your treatment plan. 

What is the recovery time for an eyebrow transplant? 

The healing process following an eyebrow transplant is relatively rapid compared to other cosmetic surgeries. Within the initial weeks post-surgery, individuals can typically resume light activities such as work, though eyebrows may begin to scab during this period. It's crucial to refrain from picking at these scabs to avoid interfering with the healing process. It may take between six to 12 weeks before new hair growth becomes noticeable in the transplanted area, with shedding of hair from the surgical site being a normal part of the process, making room for new hair follicles to grow. 

How much do eyebrow transplants cost? 

Eyebrow transplant costs can fluctuate significantly depending on the clinic. For detailed pricing information, schedule a consultation for your eyebrow transplant with our Doctor Edges experts today. For more details, visit our website or contact us directly. 

When will I see results? 

Prior to the 12-month mark post eyebrow transplant, it's crucial to understand that assessing the outcomes may not provide conclusive results. A minimum period of 12-18 months is essential for a thorough evaluation of any hair transplant procedure. Since hair follicles undergo different stages of the growth cycle and may not all produce hair simultaneously, patience is key to achieving the best possible results in any hair transplant procedure, including eyebrow transplants. 

Can I get an eyebrow transplant from hair loss due to alopecia areata? 

Alopecia areata stems from an immune system dysregulation targeting the body's own hair follicles. In cases of prolonged or advanced alopecia areata, a biopsy may reveal the complete dissolution of hair follicles. While hair transplantation can offer potential benefits in such instances, there's a possibility of inducing alopecia flare-ups in the areas where hair is harvested from, as well as in recipient areas if some hair remains, so hair transplantation in patients with alopecia areata is not recommended. However, our expert physicians can discuss other great options better suited for patients with alopecia areata during a hair loss visit. 

Can I get an eyebrow transplant to cover an eyebrow scar? 

If you have sparse eyebrows or a bothersome scar in your eyebrow, eyebrow transplantation presents the ideal solution. Many individuals with eyebrow scars are unaware of this excellent option for correction. This procedure involves grafting finer donor hair from the back of the scalp to the recipient's eyebrow area, effectively concealing the scar. Eyebrow transplants are highly effective at camouflaging scars, delivering natural-looking results that seamlessly blend with your existing eyebrow hairs. 

Does the eyebrow transplant look natural?  

When eyebrow transplants are performed by specialized surgeons like those at Doctor Edges, they can indeed appear very natural. The success of an eyebrow transplant largely hinges on factors such as the expertise of the surgeon, the quality of donor hair utilized, and the meticulous design of the transplant to match the patient's natural eyebrow shape and density. With careful planning and execution by the Doctor Edges medical team, eyebrow transplants can seamlessly integrate with existing eyebrow hairs, resulting in a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
