Yes, a second eyebrow transplant using the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is possible, even if you are considering using the finer "baby hairs" from the back of your scalp. FUE is a versatile technique that allows for the extraction of individual hair follicles, which can then be transplanted to the desired area, such as the eyebrows.

Since you mentioned that you do not want to use more of your longer hair, using the finer hairs from the nape of your neck or the back of your scalp can be a suitable option. These hairs tend to be finer and can provide a more natural look for the eyebrows.

However, it is essential to consult with a skilled and experienced hair transplant surgeon. They can assess the donor area and the recipient site to ensure that the hairs are suitable and that the procedure will yield the desired results. Additionally, the surgeon can provide personalized advice based on your individual hair characteristics and previous transplant history.

Make sure to discuss your concerns and goals thoroughly with your surgeon to achieve the best possible outcome for your second eyebrow transplant.

Yes, it’s absolutely possible to have a second eyebrow transplant using the FUE method and harvesting the finer, "baby hairs" from the back of your head. In fact, using finer hair can often result in a more natural look for the eyebrows, especially if you’re aiming for softer or less dense brows this time around.
Since you’ve already had a successful transplant before and you’re concerned about losing more of your longer hair, selecting those finer hairs can be a good option. The FUE method is minimally invasive and would allow for precise extraction of the right hairs without affecting the overall appearance of your donor area. It's also great for minimizing any noticeable thinning.
Just keep in mind that this second procedure should be done carefully to ensure the density and direction of the hair match your desired result.
