Is There a Procedure to Get Thicker Eyebrows?

Question

I'm planning on getting plastic surgery in the future but for now I'm just doing research... So is there a way to get thicker bushier eyebrows for men? It doesn't seem like a complicated thing to do compared to other plastic surgeries but I haven't found anything on it. I would want this because I am male and have thin eyebrows. Please help!!

Hello,Eyebrow transplantation takes a special set of skills.  We are unique in the sense that we will do off-label use of ARTAS for eyebrows to get quality grafts for transplantation.  The key with eyebrows is to ensure that the implanted hairs follow the natural direction of the eyebrow.   
There are various methods to thicken eyebrows:
Latisse- off label use has reportedly helped some patientsEyebrow transplantation- We use FUE (off-label use of ARTAS) with regenerative techniques to ensure healthy looking browsMicroblading- Tattooing of the eyebrows which lasts between 6 months to a yearBest,Anil Shah

Hair transplant to the eyebrows is an excellent option for improving hair density to the eyebrows. This is commonly performed for scars, asymmetry, or just to increase fullness. I always recommend seeing a fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon, particularly for eyebrow transplant, as this is an advanced technique.
All the best,

Hair transplant surgery can add density and fullness to eyebrows for both men and women.  It is relatively common and you can find more information on Google as well as this website.

Yes, there is a procedure that can thicken the eyebrows, called eyebrow transplant. This is a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant procedure that traditionally extracts donor hair from the scalp. I am a leading practitioner of body hair transplant, a niche of FUE that makes use of non-traditional donor sources for special cases. Using FUE uGraft, I typically harvest hair from the nape of the neck or the legs when performing eyebrow transplant, as these sources best match the caliber and length of eyebrow hair.

	
	Traditional donor hair (from the mid-rear scalp) is longer and would bear the ongoing inconvenience of frequent trimming after your eyebrow transplant procedure.

Amazing results can be achieved by using appropriate follicles from select areas of your scalp using to recreate density and shape to your brows.  Results can be seen in as little as 2 months and the recovery time is relatively quick.

This is a great question and one that patients do not realize there is a solution for.  Eyebrow transplantation is a great option to restore eyebrows or increase the density to the eyebrows.  It is performed by using the hairs from the back of your scalp (we try to use the finer hairs to mimic the fine eyebrow hairs) and are they transplanted to the eyebrow region.  This is done as an out-patient procedure, with you awake using only local anesthesia, with minimal downtime.  Best wishes to you!

"Thicker, bushier eyebrows" can easily be achieved with FUE hair transplantation. Single hair graft follicles are individually removed from the back of the head and placed in the design that you and your transplant team have drawn. It may take a full year to yield results but is a great permanent solution.

Actually, eyebrow transplants- a procedure I perform on average 3 times weekly - is a very challenging procedure from both a technical and aesthetic aspect. However, the answer is, yes, there is a procedure to thicken eyebows, and when done properly, can make a huge difference.

Jack Fisher, MD · Answer

Just trying to thicken eyebrows with a hair transplant is not very satisfying because the hair doesn't match well. There is some evidence that latisse for thickening eyelashes may also thicken eyebrows, but there is not enough information available to date.
