Aesthetic appearance affects human life positively or negatively for various reasons. Conditions that spoil outward appearance may arise from birth or as a result of external effects such as various diseases and accidents.
This situation affects people socially and psychologically and reduces their self-confidence. With technology developing every day, very successful results can also be obtained in facial aesthetics. Eyebrows are aesthetically important structures that reveal the beauty of the face and eyes and provide facial expression. The success achieved in hair transplant operations is now also achieved in eyebrow transplants. Eyebrow transplant operations are successfully performed on people who are bothered by their appearance because of various accidents, burn treatments, medication use, past illnesses, eyebrows not growing from birth, or incorrect eyebrow removal.
HOW IS AN EYEBROW TRANSPLANT PERFORMED?
In eyebrow transplants, preferred mainly by women, the FUE technique is widely used just as in hair transplants. With this easy and simple method, an eyebrow transplant can be performed on anyone over 18, provided there is no serious condition preventing the operation. As in hair transplants, the nape area between the two ears is preferred as the donor area. A specialist draws a design suitable for the facial lines/symmetry, also taking the person's wishes into account, and determines the area to be transplanted. In this operation, performed entirely under local anesthesia, instead of shaving all the hair, only a small area where the follicles will be taken is shaved. The grafts, taken one by one using a 0.6–0.7 mm FUE punch with the help of the required number of devices called micromotors, are kept under suitable conditions in special solutions and, without waiting, are placed one by one by a specialist into channels opened with attention to the natural angle and directions of the eyebrow. No pain or discomfort is felt during this process. The operation, which takes an average of 2.5–3 hours, may vary depending on the size of the area to be transplanted. The important point here is that this operation gives natural results that meet the person's expectations.
AFTER AN EYEBROW TRANSPLANT
The person is informed in detail by the specialist about care and what to pay attention to after the eyebrow transplant operation and is called for check-ups at certain intervals in the following period. After the post-operative healing process, newly grown eyebrows tend to grow quickly like hair for about 1 year; they do not stay short like eyebrows. In this case the person has to trim their eyebrows neatly for a while in order to keep them looking natural. After 1 year, the transplanted follicles adapt to the circulatory structure of the area where they are located, lose the quick-growing tendency of hair and start to grow slowly just like an eyebrow. The person no longer needs to constantly trim their eyebrows. The transplanted follicles have largely completed their growth after an average of 6 months, take on the look of natural eyebrows, and the person can shape them as they wish.
