Can we do hair transplants to places where hair never grew to begin with?

Asked By:Annablain in New Jersey, NJ

Hair transplants for the eyebrows- can we get hair to grow somewhere where there never was hair loss or damaged follicles? For example- someone with naturally thin/sparse hair and eyebrows can get thicker, wider eyebrows? Eyebrows were never overplucked, have no scars to fill in. We have thin hair in our family and eyebrows are no exception. Transplanting hair there can give me a more desirable shape along with a more heavy brow. Can we create hair growth in naturally hair-free follicles?
