Is it possible to use hand/finger hairs on an eyebrow transplant?

May 29, 2025
Asked By:Terrific5750 in Miami, Florida

The hairs on my hands and fingers are of very similar length and texture to my eyebrows. Would it be possible to perform a hair transplant, or is he skin in this region too thin, making extraction impossible? Would there be any other downsides aside from circular scars and potentially a low graft survival rate?

It is such an easy process. Only downside of it is the length of time. It takes about 6-8 hours to complete the process. If a companion joins you, they won’t be able to be with you in the procedure room. Aftercare is also very simple. In my opinion, companion is not necessary
