Thinking About Getting a Eyebrow Transplantation Surgery..would It Look Natural As Normal Eyebrows?

I am thinking about getting an eyebrow transplantation surgery. The doctor would take the hair follicle on the side or back of my head and transplant it into the eyebrow region. My question is would it look completely natural? Would people be able to tell that I had an eyebrow transplant? Would the transplanted hair grow in different directions and I heard the eyebrow region can become red and you can get white heads. I am afraid of this happening-is it common?

Eyebrow Hair Transplantation

The eyebrow transplant procedure is a highly technical and aesthetically demanding procedure. If performed properly, the results can be quite natural. I strongly suggest you do your homework and make sure your surgeon has experience with this procedure.

Eyebrow Hair Transplant

Eyebrow transplantation done well looks extremely natural, with the implanted hair placed at the correct angle and direction. As an FUE doctor, I generally use donor hair from the nape of the neck or the legs to create the best aesthetic outcome (this caliber of hair blends best into the eyebrows). These donors also don’t grow as long as the hair from the back and sides of the head, thus there is less maintenance required. Bumps and pimples are a normal part of the healing process and will... more

Eyebrow hair transplants

If the surgery is done correctly, the result can look very natural. In our practice, we select hairs that best match the eyebrow hairs from the back of the neck. The hair needs to be transplanted at precisely the correct angle to look natural. If done correctly, the hair will grow in the same direction as the surrounding eyebrow hair. Redness and whiteheads are uncommon, but can happen. Usually it is an isolated episode and these kind of issues do not continue... more

Eyebrow transplant

One can get a natural looking result but the work has to be done expertly with consideration for the variation in hair direction of the eyebrow hairs. The result has to have maitenence as the hairs will grow continuously like scalp hair and periodic trimming is necessary. If the patient is female , I usually suggest having permanent make done first.

Hi I also had my eyebrows done and I say Go for it! They have made a huge difference in the framing of my face. They do grow without restriction like your scalp hair so I find myself trimming them about once a week. Before I would pencil in my eyebrows because I've never had very much but now they are thick and full and no one can tell I've had the surgery. If u click on my profile u will see the before and after pics for both my eyebrows and hairline. I had them both done together

Hello, I had the procedure done 2 weeks ago and it looks pretty natural. People will only know, if you tell them. I have curly hair, so I will have to train and trim the hair. My eyebrow region was red and developed small whiteheads but only on one brow and in a certain spot (not the entire brow). You have to let the process run its course. I am someone who had thick and full eyebrows until my mid 20's. I had to get my brows back. For me, the procedure was worth it. If want to see pictures, let me know.
