Eyebrow transplant question - Will donor site grow back?

Question

I wanna get an eyebrow transplanted cause I've given up hope on anything topical i even tried Latisse without result . My question is will the donor site ever grow back? Or does it stay bald forever ?

Hair transplant is basically relocating hair from one area to another area.  If you take it from one area, that area will be absent of hair.  This does not mean it will be "bald" but there will be a scar.

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Because follicles are being removed from the donor site and then implanted elsewhere, hair will not grow back from the exact donor site location.  However, donor sites are strategically chosen in areas where a patient has thick hair, therefore eventually unnoticeable to others.

A hair transplant involves physically moving hair roots from one location to another. they are not at the original location any moreHowever, this does not mean you will notice any bald patches because of the way we perform a hair transplant.With strip or FUT we remove the hairs and the skin, shrinking the area to a very thin linear scar. With FUE we scatter the harvest site over a large area to make very hard to notice the missing hairs

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

When hair is taken from the donor site it never grows back. The amount of hair used for an eyebrow transplant is not great and the donor area should not look impacted. Eyebrow transplants using scalp hair requires a special skill in identifying the ‘bend’; that is natural in each transplanted hair. So when put in by the surgical team, the natural curve of the hair must be placed to take advantage of it as it is placed.  It also must be put in laying them flat consistent with your natural eyebrow hairs Too many surgeons without considerable experience can’t seem to get either of these techniques right and if they don’t the eyebrow stick out rather than lay flat as they should.  In your case the darker hair and a slightly bushier eyebrow might help you frame your face, but of course, it is your call 100% as to what you want to look like.

A number of procedures are available for restoration of all or part of the eyebrowby follicular units either by using the FUE or FUT technique. Follicles are transplanted to the eyebrow area via the method best suited to the needs of the client. Eye brow transplant is usually performed in an outpatient setting. Postoperative complications are usually limited to minor pain and swelling.  The hair starts to grow in after three months and may need trimming often.
