Marc Dauer, MD · Answer

There are many different types of alopecia. The term alopecia is a broad based term meaning hair loss. There is alopecia secondary to trauma. There is also alopecia secondary to inflammatory processes or autoimmune processes. Typically eyebrow hair loss secondary to inflammatory processes or trauma are amenable to eyebrow transplants. The growth in these cases maybe less than a typical result because of the scarring in the skin, but we still see improvement and growth in these patients. Patients with alopecia secondary to auto immune processes sometimes have good results and other times not. It is important to know the exact cause of the alopecia prior to performing an eyebrow hair transplant. It is also important that the patient understands the risks and the potential outcomes prior to undergoing the procedure.

Karim, it depends on the cause of your alopecia.  If you have an autoimmune mediated alopecia, then it is likely that the transplants will not work.  Make sure you see a hair specialists who is comfortable with these diagnoses as you don't want to have to go through the process only to have it all fail secondary to disease.

There'll be the possibility of recurrence of your alopecia either in the same region or another spot either of your brow or scalp. When a transplant has done in an area of alopecia, whether be at your scalp or your eyebrows, the yield is very good and those follicles will stay and grow well depending on the type of procedure you have and the clinic with whom you have it with.

There are many forms of alopecia. If you have alopecia areata and this has caused eyebrow hair loss, then it is likely that a hair transplant will fail.  See a good doctor

Alopecia simply means hair loss. I am thinking that you mean that you have lost your eyebrow hair from a form of Alopecia such as Alopecia Areata..or patch balding. Regardless of what might be causing the loss a transplant is most likely a good solution and chances are that they transplanted hairs will not be affected with any type of hair loss in that area. The only way to be absolutely sure and make sure that you get a thorough assessment is to consult with a hair restoration specialist in your area.
