Answer: Pros and Cons of Eyebrow Hair Transplant Eyebrow transplant procedures are able to create a much more natural looking appearance, compared to tattoos or makeup. Many people don’t want their brows to look drawn in. And this effect is all the more obvious in close face to face interactions.With this surgery it is possible to make subtle enhancements in the overall shape or length of the brows while improving the density. The final results, however, will take some time to fully manifest. With the exception of leg hair, the inserted hair shafts will shed right after your procedure to make room for new growth. This will most likely start to emerge around the fourth month. Also, the grafts will continue to behave as they did before. So head or nape hair will grow much longer than regular brow hair. And regular trimming will be needed.

Answer: Eyebrow transplant: pros and cons In general, individuals interested in learning about eyebrow restoration should meet with a hair transplant surgeon to go over all the details. PROSThe "pros" are that your eyebrow density will improve, you may enhance your facial appearance.CONSThe "cons" center around side effects of the procedure - which is why you'll need to review all of them with a surgeon. Overall, side effects are rare, and most patients are really happy with their new eyebrow look. However, a partial list of side effects (cons) includes:you'll need to trim the eyebrows every few weeksit may or may not be as full as your eyebrow density in your teensthere may be redness and crusting for many weeks (2-6 weeks)there may be swelling after your procedureyou'll need time off work and social activitiesthere rarely is persistent rednesssome transplanted eyebrow hairs don't grow (10%-15%)eyebrow hairs may grow in a different direction than transplantedthere will be a micro scar or linear scar from the back of the scalp where the hairs are takenrarely the hairs taken from the back of the scalp don't match up perfectly to the eyebrow hairs.All in all, eyebrow restoration is successful with minimal side effects other than the redness and swelling that occur in the first week.Be sure to sit down one on one with a hair transplant surgeon to go over everything in detail. The most important thing is to be well informed. This list is only partial.
