Eyebrow transplants falling out from Seborrheic dermatitis - can they grow back? (Photo)

brandonny1Sep 25, 2022
I had a eyebrow transplant but I have seborrheic dermatitis. Due to the dermatitis the transplants have been falling especially even more when my dermatologist told me I need to wash them everyday. Will the eyebrow transplants grow back or will they mostly likely not grow back? Also if I can’t see the scaling/white gunk do I need to be washing as I only see the scaling when I shampoo my eyebrows?

I understand how upsetting it must be to deal with the bumps, or cobblestoning, that can sometimes occur after a brow transplant. This happens when the grafted hairs heal in a raised manner, creating an uneven texture. While it’s true that traditional options like dermabrasion or laser r...

So in your case, it will be an excellent result if we transplant approximately 600-800 grafts using the DHI method. It will be enough to restore the natural line and restore its density.

Thank you so much for your question. This is completely normal and is termed "shock loss". The implantation of transplanted hair follicles can disturbed the neighboring existing hair follicles in the recipient area, resulting in temporary loss of that hair. Rest assured though that this hair (as...
