Is it better to have an eyebrow transplant before or after brow lift?

Question

I really want to get a brow lift, although I'm young I feel like it will really accentuate my eyes. I also would like to get an eyebrow transplant. I have a feeling it makes more sense to get the brow lift first, wait for it to heal and then get the eyebrow transplant. Which one is better to have done first the brow lift or the eyebrow transplant? Thank you.

Browlift and Hair transplantation —which first? It is better to have the Browlift first and let the new position take full effect and then have the hair transplants. See a surgeon who does a variety of brow lifts including the Irregular Trichophytic Incision.

ALWAYS do the major procedure first and then you can put the brows (or nipples if it was breast reconstruction) on where you want them AFTER you have fully healed.

I strongly recommend that you have brow lift before constructing brow with transplants. It will be easier to shape the exact desired contour.

I would suggest that you seek some consultations to be fully informed of your options. It is always best to have your brows in the proper position before considering tattoo, microblading or eyebrow extensions. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
