Eyebrow transplants for thicker and fuller brows are becoming the norm, times changed from when the thin plucked brows were fashionable. The fuller look is back as women are now looking for a bushy, healthy fuller look, like a lot of celebrities today. Still, the problem is a lot of women they have already plucked away over the years, and unfortunately, the damage is done because re-growing is no longer possible.
Although over plucking is a big problem it is not the only one, and there are many other factors why one may lose hair on the brow, starting from trauma, genetics, scaring and illness, they can all cause a part in lack of hair loss. Eyebrow transplants are a low-risk procedure and are designed to help anyone who doesn’t have the hair they want.
What happens in the process?
Whats the process of eyebrow transplants for thicker and fuller brows. A single hair will need to be individually implanted to the brow, sounds easy right?. It’s a long process as the surgeon will need to make sure the hairs are close and also make sure they are in the right direction. The good thing about having a hair transplant is you can ask for any look it doesn’t need to be that big bushy celeb look, it can be your choice I mean after all it’s you that will have to spend your life with the chosen look. You will be able to discuss your desired look during your consultation, where a full examination of the brow will be done. Be clear that the surgeon can only work with what he has.
The number of hairs needed on each brow will depend on what hair is already there. It will also depend on the desired look one has chosen. A limited graft will require between 100-200 hairs to achieve a good, glossy eyebrow shape. To achieve a fuller look you would nee around 200-400 grafts.
Why is this?
When an individual plucks, it may mean the root goes with it too and eventually this will lead to thinning of the hair growth. You can also lose hairs by getting tattoos or micro-blading or even burns and scars to the brow area. All of these play a big part in hair loss; hence why most people turn to have a transplant or tattooing eyebrows on to give them a better look as well as boosting self-esteem and confidence.
Treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy also play a huge part in hair loss. All of these treatments have a significant impact on one’s life, but thankfully there is a solution such as having a brow transplant.
Recovery process
Hairs will be implanted under local anesthetic, which is the same as having a hair transplant and its normal for them to fall out. Within a couple of weeks of having the treatment, this is entirely normal and will be discussed during the consultation process, no need for worry.
Once hairs shed, new hair will automatically begin to grow and it can take up to twelve to fifteen months to appreciate the shape of the new brow so be patient, it takes time. But where does the hair come from? Follicles will be taken from the patient’s head and are usually from behind the ear. It can generally be covered by the surrounding hair remember the area which the hair is taken from is very tiny and shouldn’t be noticeable.
Following the transplant procedure, you might experience areas of bruising and swelling, which is entirely normal and nothing to worry about it’s only temporary and shouldn’t take long to go down. A brow transplant is a low-risk treatment with no risks and complications.
