Eyebrow Transplantation

Nothing is perfect, except the eyebrows that we transplant 

“Never underestimate the power of the eyebrow," is how we begin our article explaining the importance of the eyebrow. The eyebrow has the power to change a person's appearance and the ability to better convey emotions and feelings.

Eyebrows are important not only for appearance, but also to improve a person's communication with others in daily life. Unfortunately, some people have very light eyebrows, and some have hardly any eyebrows. This problem causes them to lack self-confidence and may isolate themselves because they cannot communicate as they would like.

Fortunately, we live in a time when there are millions of solutions to a problem. Besides other methods like makeup and tattoos that only provide a temporary solution but in the long run lead to serious skin problems, eyebrow transplantation is able to solve the problem from the root and give you the eyebrows you have been dreaming of. Read on to learn all about the procedure and how you can get it!

What is Eyebrow Transplantation?

Eye transplantation falls under the criteria of cosmetic surgery. Eyebrow transplantation is a cosmetic procedure that provides a lifelong result and is usually performed under local anesthesia. It focuses on taking grafts from the donor area, which is usually located at the back of the head or around the ear, and implanting these grafts into the eyebrow area according to the agreed shape.

The main purpose of eyebrow transplantation is to give the patient the desired eyebrows in full shape and with grown hair. This procedure restores the patient's self-confidence and helps him to better recognise his facial features.

What are the Advantages of Eyebrow Transplantation?

Eyebrow transplantation is a minimally invasive procedure that requires a short recovery time and has many advantages too, such as:

• Permanent: The results of the eyebrows transplant procedure are for a lifetime and through it you can solve the problem of light eyebrows (or hardly any eyebrow) forever!
• Natural looking: Methods like makeup or tattoos can give you an instant result, but the appearance will not look like natural eyebrows that you get through eyebrow transplantation.
• Improves facial expression: Eyebrows can improve facial expression and help the person express their feelings more clearly.
• Enhance appearance: Eyebrows have a great effect on the face and highlight its features. Changing the shape of the existing eyebrows can greatly change the face, so eyebrow transplantation gives a complete makeover!
• Short recovery time: One of the biggest advantages of this procedure is that it does not require a long recovery time and you can resume your daily life within 3 days,

Suitable Candidates for Eyebrow Transplantation 

Eyebrow hair transplantation is the right choice for those who need eyebrow transplantation for three reasons:

• Genetic reasons: Some people are born with thin hair and thin eyebrows and want thicker eyebrows so they can shape them to their liking. 
• Accidents or scars: People who have suffered an accident that damaged the eye area and caused the hair in their eyebrows to fall out may undergo eyebrow hair transplants to restore their eyebrows.
• Over-plucking: It’s a known fact that the shape of eyebrows has always been the number one trend in the world. Eyebrow trends revolved around thin, sharp eyebrows where people plucked their eyebrows too much and damaged their hair follicles. Nowadays, however, people prefer thick and natural eyebrows. And this is exactly what can be achieved with eyebrow transplantation.

Things to Know Before Having Eyebrow Transplantation

Before undergoing eyebrow transplantation, there are some things you need to know and understand in order to have a smooth and restful recovery period. During the initial consultation, the doctor will sit with you and explain how the procedure will be performed and discuss with you your needs and expectations. After examining your hair growth rate and hair type, he will suggest the best extraction site for the grafts. The risks and the main instructions after the procedure will also be discussed, while the recovery phase will be explained step by step. If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure, do not hesitate to ask your doctor anything that is on your mind.

Eyebrow Transplantation in Thailand 

If you want an eyebrow transplant but not sure where, Thailand can be one of the best options. Thailand is one of the countries visited by people from all over the world who want to improve their appearance with highly qualified doctors and medical professionals, decades of experience in the world of cosmetic procedures and surgeries, and best prices.

Mostly, eyebrow transplant prices in Thailand are affordable compared to some other countries that are also known for their cosmetic procedures. Usually, the prices are all-inclusive, which means that they include accommodation and transportation, the procedure and medications.

Eyebrow Transplantation Operation Steps

We believe that every patient should understand the procedure and have an idea of how it is performed. Here you will find a simple yet detailed explanation of the eyebrow transplant procedure:

 - Preparation

• There are some steps that a patient must follow to prepare for eyebrow transplantation. These steps are:

• Take a bath the day of the procedure or the night before. A bath cleanses the skin and eyebrow area, which increases hygiene, making the surgery easier.
• One week before the procedure, stop taking minoxidil, which is used by people with hair loss and high blood pressure,
• Eat properly, because you will need energy and strength during and after the procedure. Therefore, it is recommended to eat a light and healthy meal before the procedure.
• Inform your doctor about your medical history, as it plays a big role in the procedure and recovery period. Also, make sure you inform your doctor of any medications you are taking. Your doctor may prohibit you from taking some medications before or after the procedure, such as for blood thinning.
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol for at least 10 days before and 10 days after the procedure. It has been proven that certain substances in cigarettes and alcohol slow down the recovery period and delay the result.
• Refrain from taking vitamin E, as vitamin E thins the blood and thus increases the risk of excessive bleeding during the eyebrow transplant procedure

  - Operation

Eyebrow transplantation is usually performed with the DHI method, and the number of grafts needed is from 300 to a maximum of 600 grafts. And the procedure starts with:

• Determination and shaving of the donor area: during the consultation, the donor area from which the grafts will be taken is determined; then the area is shaved to obtain the required number of grafts. After harvesting, the grafts are stored in a physiological solution to protect them from damage.
• Grafting: Since eyebrow transplantation uses the DHI method, this means that implantation can be done directly without having to shave the recipient area or open receiving channels. The Choi Implanter Pen is used to implant the harvested grafts between the existing hairs.

  - Post-Operation

Aftercare is an essential step to ensure the success of eyebrow transplantation. Make sure you follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid complications after the procedure and have a comfortable healing period.

• Wash your face gently avoiding the eyebrows for the first 48 hours
• Protect yourself from direct sunlight to avoid irritation
• Do not smoke or drink alcohol to ensure a speedy recovery
• A crust will form around every transplanted graft, which is completely normal. Clean your eyebrows with lukewarm water and your fingertips.

Eyebrow Transplant Healing Process

During the first week after eyebrow transplantation, you will notice that the eyebrow area is swollen, red and possibly itchy. Then a crust will form around each transplanted graft, which is part of the healing process.

When the hair first begins to grow, it will fall out again, giving way to the new hair. Nevertheless, patients notice the growth of the transplanted grafts within the first 4 to 6 months and can enjoy the final result within 10 months. The results of eyebrow transplantation remain for a lifetime.
