Can i use hand hair for a eyebrow transplant?

December 31, 2013
Asked By:Feintz

I had a eyebrow transplant nearly 5 months ago and am not really happy with the result so far. The blunt ends make it look really unnatural. Also the constant trimming is a pain in the ass. However I have noticed that the hair on my hands is almost the same as my native eyebrow hair in texture and length, so I was wondering if it is possible to take all the head hair out (500 grafts) and transplant hand hair (not arms) to my eyebrow?
