I have a scar in the middle of my eyebrow. Since it can be made practically unnoticable if the eyebrow hair is properly aligned, I'm considering either waiting for hair multiplication (hair clongin) or doing a hair transplant (FUE) now. I don't like the idea of having to trim the eyebrow hair every other day, however. Is there any chance that the growth cycles can be altered in the future to emulate actual eyebrow hair or will perhaps 'recipient dominance' eventually take care of this anyway? What about grafting hair with more appropriate lengths from other body parts? What's my best option to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Answer: If you have eyebrow hair transplant surgery with donor hair from the scalp, you will need to trim them every few days.

Hair transplant to the eyebrows can work quite well, especially for small areas that are asymmetric or need to be filled in for one reason or another. Be sure to see a hair restoration expert such as a fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon, as eyebrow transplant is a more advanced...
Hello and thank you for your question. You should see some regrowth about 3 months after your injury but could be up to 6 months. You try topical Minoxidil and that should help with the regrowth process. Best of luck to you.

I would not recommend using eyebrow as the donor hair for an eyebrow transplantation because;1. The survival rate is not good2. The scar from FUE will be very visible
For an eyebrow transplant, I recommend using scalp hair but we will choose the ones with small caliber.
