I need to repair my right eyebrow because of an accident. I was told that scalp hair trasplanted to eyebrows should be trimmed periodically. Ok, then, I was thinking if body hair (legs, chest...) would be a good option to repair the eyebrow. I don't need many grafts, I 'm a male and I have much hair all over my body.
