Eyebrow Transplantation

WHAT IS EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION? 

Eyebrow transplantation is the application of hair transplantation to the eyebrow area because the person does not have a natural eyebrow structure or their eyebrows are not thick enough. This procedure is performed with similar techniques used in hair transplantation and significantly affects the aesthetic appearance of the person's face. Eyebrow transplantation can be done using the person's own hair strands or using hair follicles taken from outside the hair. Thanks to this procedure, eyebrows gain a fuller, natural and aesthetic appearance.

HOW IS EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION DONE? 

Eyebrow transplantation is performed in a similar way to hair transplantation methods. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes approximately 2-3 hours.

First, hair follicles are collected one by one from the person's scalp or hair follicles are taken from another area other than the scalp. Afterwards, in case of sparse or absent eyebrows in the eyebrow area, the areas to be transplanted are determined. Then, the hair follicles are transplanted to the eyebrow area with the help of special needles. During the procedure, the transplanted hair follicles are placed in accordance with the natural angle and direction in the eyebrow area. After the transplantation process is completed, the treated area is covered with a sterile tape. After eyebrow transplantation, symptoms such as redness, swelling, crusting and itching may be observed in the person's eyebrow area. These symptoms usually disappear within a few days and the person can return to normal life.

When the healing process is completed, the person's eyebrows have a fuller, natural and aesthetic appearance.

HOW MUCH TIME IS REQUIRED FOR EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION? 

Eyebrow transplantation usually takes 2-3 hours and the procedure is performed under local anesthesia. However, this period may vary depending on the size and needs of the eyebrow area to be transplanted. Before the procedure, the condition of the person's eyebrow area is evaluated and the areas to be transplanted are determined.

This evaluation process takes approximately 30-45 minutes. After the transplantation process is completed, the treated area is covered with a sterile tape and the person rests for a few hours. Afterwards, the person can return home and will be informed in detail about what to pay attention to after the procedure. The recovery process may vary depending on the person's general health condition and post-eyebrow transplantation care. Generally, symptoms such as redness, swelling and crusting may be observed in the first few days after eyebrow transplantation.

The full recovery process may take an average of 6-12 months.

IS EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION PAINFUL? 

Eyebrow transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, so it is generally a painless procedure. During the procedure, patients may feel a slight ache or pressure, but this feeling is quite mild and not uncomfortable. There is usually very little pain or discomfort in the post-procedure period. However, since everyone's pain threshold is different, some patients may experience mild pain or discomfort. In this case, this situation can be controlled with painkillers used before and after the procedure. Eyebrow transplantation is a procedure that causes minimal pain and discomfort to patients, and most patients can return to their normal activities after the procedure.

WHO IS EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION SUITABLE FOR?

Eyebrow transplantation is a suitable option for people who have sparse or missing eyebrows and want to achieve a fuller and more natural appearance. Suitable candidates for the procedure are people who have a healthy scalp and eyebrow roots, who do not have a health problem that causes eyebrow loss, who lose eyebrows due to natural reasons such as eyebrow thinning due to advancing age, or who damage their eyebrows by plucking them or using hair removers. In addition, during the evaluation phase before the procedure, the general health conditions and medication use of eyebrow transplant candidates are also taken into consideration. Eyebrow transplantation may not be suitable for everyone, so the best approach is to consult with a specialist to determine whether you are a suitable candidate.

HOW PERMANENT IS EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION?

Eyebrow transplantation is performed by transplanting hair follicles taken from the donor area to the eyebrow area. After this procedure, it is possible for your eyebrows to have a natural and permanent appearance. After a while, new eyebrow hairs begin to grow in the eyebrow area where the hair follicles are transplanted, and these hairs are permanent. The permanence of eyebrows after eyebrow transplantation may vary depending on the quality of the hair follicles taken from the donor area, the techniques used during the procedure, the patient's age, gender and genetic factors. However, the results obtained after eyebrow transplantation are generally permanent and can last for years. After eyebrow transplantation, it is important to pay attention to eyebrow care and take the necessary steps to preserve the natural appearance of the eyebrows for the permanence of the result.

RECOVERY PROCESS AFTER EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION (1ST MONTHS – 6TH MONTHS) 

The recovery process after eyebrow transplantation may vary depending on the person's body structure, transplantation method and the quality of the transplanted eyebrows. However, in general, the healing process proceeds as follows:

1st Month: In the first week after eyebrow transplantation, there may be swelling and redness on your face. Crusting may begin at the end of the first week. In the second week, the crusts begin to fall off and the area around your eyebrows may turn pink.

2nd Month: At the end of the first month, approximately 80% of your eyebrows will fall out. This is because the roots are preparing themselves for a new beginning. During this process, the remaining part of your eyebrows may thin.

3rd Month: At the end of the second month, you will notice that your eyebrows have started to grow. At this stage, 30-40% of your eyebrows begin to become visible. You may experience mild itching in the areas where your eyebrows grow.

4th Month: By the end of the third month, most of your eyebrows will become visible. However, the eyebrows may not have fully grown yet. The area around your eyebrows will be completely healed.

5th Month: By the end of the fourth month, almost all of your eyebrows will have grown. As the length of your eyebrows increases, your eyebrows will gain their natural appearance.

6th Month: At the end of the sixth month, all of your eyebrows will have grown and grown. Your appearance will be fully revealed after transplantation.

HOW CAN I MAINTAIN THE SHAPE OF MY EYEBROWS AFTER EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION?

1. Do not wash your eyebrows for the first few days. When you first wash, do it as your doctor recommends.

2. Use a soft brush to comb your eyebrows. This helps you maintain the shape of the eyebrows by combing them in their natural direction.

3. Avoid touching your eyebrows. Scratching or rubbing your eyebrows may cause the implants to fall out or become irritated.

4. Avoid the sun. Sun rays can cause your eyebrows to fade and appear thinner. You can protect your eyebrows by using sunscreen.

5. Eat healthy and pay attention to water consumption. A healthy diet helps your body get the nutrients it needs during the healing process, and drinking water helps keep skin hydrated.

6. Do not smoke and avoid alcohol consumption. Smoking and alcohol consumption can slow down your healing process and cause eyebrows to droop or risk infection. The above suggestions can help you maintain the shape of your eyebrows after eyebrow transplantation. However, if you have any concerns or concerns, it is recommended that you consult your doctor.
