Is There a Procedure to Get Thicker Eyebrows?
I'm planning on getting plastic surgery in the future but for now I'm just doing research... So is there a way to get thicker bushier eyebrows for men? It doesn't seem like a complicated thing to do compared to other plastic surgeries but I haven't found anything on it. I would want this because I am male and have thin eyebrows. Please help!!

Eyebrow Transplant for Thicker Brows
At my practice in New York, I offer eyebrow transplant for thin eyebrows as well as for replacing lost follicles due to trauma. For eyebrow transplant surgery, the donor area comes from either your scalp or your leg. The donor is usually taken from a site that furnishes finer rather than coarser hair; finer hair is a better “match” for eyebrow hair. Those follicles are individually separated and placed individually in a pattern that gives a contoured, natural look. Like all...

Eyebrow transplanting
Eyebrow transplantation is a frequently performed procedure in all practices. There is a unique pattern that is necessary to follow for placement of the grafts when it comes to eyebrow enhancement . Often 200 to 300 grafts may be sufficient to give greater density to the eyebrows, and these grafts may still be harvested from the posterior scalp donor sites used for other graft harvesting.
Check with your local Plastic Surgeon if you have a desire...

Eyebrow Transplant To Thicken Eyebrows
Yes, there is a procedure that can thicken the eyebrows, called eyebrow transplant. This is a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedure that traditionally extracts donor hair from the scalp. I am a leading practitioner of body hair transplant, a niche of FUE that makes use of non-traditional donor sources for special cases. Using FUE uGraft, I typically harvest hair from the nape of the neck or the legs when performing eyebrow transplant, as these sources best match the...

Procedure for Thicker Eyebrows
Just trying to thicken eyebrows with a hair transplant is not very satisfying because the hair doesn't match well. There is some evidence that latisse for thickening eyelashes may also thicken eyebrows, but there is not enough information available to date.

Thicker Eyebrows
While Latisse is primarily used to lengthen and thicken eyelashes I have some patients that have successfully used it on their brows. A permanent solution is the placement of microgafts taken from the scalp.

What to do for thinning eyebrows
Latisse can be used for off-label use to increase eyebrow density very effectively. If this is not enough, FUE (follicular unit extraction) hair transplants can be used . The grafts are transferred from the back of the scalp to the brow, but only single hair grafts should be used to maintain a natural appearance. Skill and experience is recommended because the hair follicles must be directed very accurately. Also the hair will need to be trimmed occasionally as it will continue to grow....

Thicker eyebrows
If there is an actual paucity of eyebrow hairs, transplants of scalp hair can be placed in the deficient areas of the eyebrows. If successful, one must understand that these hairs will need periodic trimming.

Bimatoprost has been found useful to achieve fuller eyebrows.
Bimatoprost (yes, Latisse!) is useful in increasing eyebrow hair density. Though the results are not as pronounced as with the eyelashes, there is a good improvement in eyebrow hair density. It is being commissioned for trials in patients with hypotrichosis post chemotherapy, based on initial positive outcomes.
I use Lumigan as well for this indication, since one does not need the application brush for careful application to eyelashes as with eyebrows, and it works out a bit cheaper.
