Eyebrow Transplant
An eyebrow hair transplant involves taking hair from the back of the head to the eyebrow region where it is either missing or patchy in growth.
Eyebrow Hair Transplant Method
An eyebrow transplant is a surgical procedure where hair is taken from the back of the head (donor area) and transplanted into the eyebrow region (recipient area). This is done to either fill gaps in the eyebrows or restore an eyebrow damaged by burns or overplucking.
Sometimes due to medical conditions or genetics, some patients do not have any eyebrow hair therefore a full eyebrow transplant is required. The process is done under local anaesthetic and there is minimal scarring and recovery is often quite straight forward.
