Thanks for question. Native eyebrow hairs grow in angles acutely off skin. Thus, the grafts when placed should sit angled off the skin as well, not perpendicular. However, it is difficult to achieve this angle at times. The hairs as they lengthen can be "trained" to sit tighter against the skin. It is difficult to train short, stubby ones. I would just be patient at this point.
Once the surgeon makes an incision, the angle of how the hairs grow out is determined. Eyebrow hairs sticking up is a common complaint and it may depend on the technique. It is very difficult to train the eyebrow. Some use clear eyebrow gel.
Our office specializes in eyebrow hair transplants and the problem often arises from the donor hair and whether it is curly or straight. It may be possible to adjust your eyebrow hairs at this point. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I believe that training the eyebrow is difficult because eyebrow hair that comes from the scalp grows at a rate of 1/2 inch per month too fast for long term training. Eyebrow transplants using scalp hair requires a special skill in identifying the ‘bend’; that is natural in each transplanted hair. So when put in by the surgical team, the natural curve of the hair must be placed to take advantage of it as it is placed. It also must be put in laying them flat consistent with your natural eyebrow hairs so if this was not done, the eyebrow hair can stick out and grow away from what should be flush with the other eyebrows.
IT IS possible (and in most cases required or at least advisable) to train the hair as it grows in. For the record this is a common problem. For a hair surgeon, getting the brow hairs to lay as flat as possible is the biggest challenge and not everyone succeeds. Get yourself some brow gel or brow wax and start making the brows grow in the direction you prefer. Even native brow hair grows a little wild sometimes! (though it is not as noticeable since the other hairs keep it in check.)For any stubborn or particularly visible "wild hairs," I recommend as needed plucking or permanently removing the hair (laser hair removal or electrolysis). Brow hair replacement surgery is a process usually, not a "one time thing," so have patience and Good Luck!
It may take 6 to 12 months to see complete results. 3.5 month is too early to tell if both your eyebrows will grow equally.
It is up to the doctor. There is no set rule. There is no minimal requirement. Eyebrow surgery may take less than 100 grafts, even less than 50 grafts. Each patient is different.The issue is what the doctor will charge for surgery. There is usually a minimum fee.
The success of transferring different types of (non head hair) grafts will largely depend on being able to remove them safely. It will be important to use specialized extraction tools to accommodate the sharp growth angles of eyebrow hair. A preliminary test procedure can be used to help...
All doctors have different fees. Generally you would likely spend $3000 on up. Needless to say, focus on choosing the right doctor and not the cheapest doctor.
Eyebrow transplants usually work well for eyebrow scar. You may not be able to fix the scar, but you can hide it with hair.You may need more than one surgery if the grafts do not take well, but hair transplants do grow on scars.Focus on the result, not the method. Many patients and...
I would recommend the eye lift first as sometimes that can change the shape of the brow to a certain extent. Once that is healed you can then consider an eyebrow transplant.
