I am thinking of getting a hair transplant for my right eyebrow which became sparse after an accident, but I would really like to know if, with time, the new hair may grow slower and avoid trimming. I have read recipient dominance". Is it true? Any evidence? Thank you so much!

Eyebrow Transplant and Leg Hair

Eyebrow transplant is a viable option for someone with permanent eyebrow loss. This technology has come a long way in recent years, and while head hair transplanted to the eyebrow will still grow at its innate speed and length (which would require frequent trimming), there are other donor options available in the care of advanced FUE practitioners.

Eyebrow Transplants

Eyebrow hair transplants have evolved to a very elegant procedure with very pleasing results for both men and women.

Eyebrow transplant

If you are female, try eyebrow tatooing first. It might give good cosmetic coverage and transplants canalways be done later to give a third dimension effect. more

Growth of eyebrow hairs after transplant

In our experience, the transplanted hairs which have been taken from the scalp (just above and behind the ear) tend to grow like scalp hair. You will have hair, but you will need to tend to it/groom & shape it much more often than the eyebrow hairs you used to have.
