Different eyebrow transplant methods
Eyebrow transplantation is performed in various ways. Below you can learn about the different methods of eyebrow transplantation.
Eyebrow transplantation from scalp hair
In this method, hair collected from other areas of the head is transplanted into the empty areas of the eyebrows. This method is usually used for people who have incomplete, thin or weak eyebrows. The surgeon transfers the hair along with its follicles from the scalp to the eyebrow area. This allows your new hair to grow in the eyebrows. This method usually uses general anesthesia. In it, the specialist doctor first completely anesthetizes the person with anesthesia, then makes small incisions in the follicle donor sites as well as in the graft sites in your eyebrows. The entire process takes about 2 to 3 hours. Natural eyebrow transplantation is usually done in two ways, which are mentioned below.
Eyebrow transplantation using the FUE method
In this method of hair transplantation, hair follicles are removed from the donor site with the help of a special device and transplanted. In this method, a small scar remains on the donor site, but the hair transplant process is a bit slow and long.
Eyebrow transplantation using the FUT method
In this method, a section of hair from the back of the head is used for transplantation. In fact, a specialist doctor removes a section of the person’s hair along with its follicles and then places it in the eyebrow. This method is faster than the FUE method, but it has a larger scar and a longer recovery period.
