After 6 Months of an Eyebrow Transplant

Eyebrows are difficult since you are implanting single hairs.  We combine the treatment with regenerative techniques to help get better take of the brow hairs.  It takes up to a year to assess final result.  Best Anil Shah

Eyebrow transplants can be a great improvement for many patients.
A few things to keep in mind:
1. With any hair transplant procedure, not all grafts will survive. Although in most cases, the success rates should be well above 90% of grafts, this still means that some grafts will be lost.
2. Six months after transplant is not enough time to assess the results. A minimum of 12 months would be needed.
3. Not all hair follicles will be actively producing a hair at the same time, as the follicles will go through different stages of the hair growth cycle over time and out of sync with one another.
Patience is key with any hair transplant procedure, including eyebrow transplants.
All the best,

Hi 4660anonccAppreciate your question and your concerns, however you would usually need to wait 12-18 months before you see the full effect of your transplant. You could also try PRP - this treatment for hair rejuvenation involves the injection of a patient’s own plasma and growth factors in to the to improve hair density and the acceleration of hair growth in order to improve the appearance of hair thickness and condition.However if you are worried - return your surgeon and discuss this with him. Good luck with your outcome and I hope it exceeds your expectations.

It may take 6 to 12 months to see results after a hair transplant surgery.  If you don't see growth or have concerns you should follow up with your doctor for a recheck.

Since you are only six months post surgery, there may be more potential growth. New hair growth usually maxes out at a year and will continue to mature and thicken for up to a year and a half after the eyebrow transplant. Consult with your surgeon for what to expect in the next six months, as wells as to see if there were any complications for only one-fourth of new hair growth from the grafts.

Discuss this with your surgeon as to why the poor growth. He may be willing to do more grafts for nothing.

Your results will take 12-18 months to achieve full density.  You can expedite their growth with either PrP or minoxidil. You will need to wait at least 12 months prior to another procedure. 

It can take up to a full year to see your end results.  Some of the follicles may still be dormant.  Have patience, and reevaluate your results at a year.

If looks as if it has been nearly 2 years since you asked this question. Hopefully by now, the hairs have grown in.  You have given the follicles enough time to grow and produce hairs.  If you have not, please check in with your hair transplantation surgeon.  He/she wants you to be happy and will do what they can to help.  Take good care.

HI. We do alot of eyebrow transplants in our practice. Its one of the most rewarding cases we do. We have seen people whose eyebrow do not grow till a full year after the transplant. At this point, I would just wait. Give it time. We have found that the use of Latisse can accelerate this dormant phase. I usually have my eyebrow patients follow up every few months. Please call your surgeon and follow up with him/her. I'm sure you are in good hands.
