We stand in front of that mirror attempting to get rid of every extra stray hair and before we know it, we plucked ourselves to death. Well, there is a new solution for this dilemma. The cosmetic eyebrow transplant cosmetic procedure has broken through the loss of hair on this area of our face. This procedure can add hair to either light or nonexistent eyebrows.
The list of unpleasant things we see on ourselves in the mirror lengthens. First crooked teeth, acne, thin lips and now dissatisfaction with our brows. The trend go back and forth with how eyebrows should look. While many sport more natural looking brows like celebrities, still others have the thin line brows that many say are “bad.” Thinner brows could cause an unatural and hard appearance.
Eyebrow loss can be from a variety of factors such as tattoos, repeated plucking, burns, and genetic disease which cause the eyebrows to thin or disappear. Eyebrow hair transplantation can be a permanent solution to this problem. Unlike tattoos, which make the eyebrows look unnatural and there is no occurrence of hair growth; eyebrow transplantation would give more hair to the brows. The new hair will continue to grow over the period of time, creating a fuller and natural look. Periodic trimming of the hair is required to maintain a natural shape.
Transplantation to Correct Eyebrow Loss
The
purpose of transplantation of hair to the eyebrow is to recreate the eyebrow in a natural contour. You will work together with our specialist to outline the eyebrow area to conform to the natural symmetry of the your face. Depending on the size of the area to be transplanted, more than one transplant session may be required; two or more sessions several months apart are common.
Eyebrow Anatomy and Physiology
The direction of eyebrow hair changes dramatically in different parts of the brow. In the region of the eyebrow nearest the nose, the hair points upward. The hair across the top of the eyebrow points outward and downward. The hair in the lower part of the brow grows outward and upward. This crisscross growth pattern causes the hairs in the middle of the eyebrows to converge and form a subtle natural elevation running horizontally through the middle of each eyebrow.
The second distinctive characteristic of eyebrow hair is that the hairs emerge from the follicle at a very acute angle so that the hair grows flat to the skin’s surface. This is in contrast to scalp hair where the angle between the hair and scalp can be 45 degrees.
The third important feature of the eyebrows is that the hairs grow as individual strands, rather than in the 1- to 4-hair follicular unit grouping that are characteristic of scalp hair.
The fourth distinctive element of eyebrow hair is that the hair growth cycle is very short. This means that eyebrow hair will grow (in anagen) only for about 4 months before it enters the resting (telogen) phase and falls out. In contrast, scalp hair has a growth phase that can last 3 to 7 years, enabling the scalp hair to grow much longer.
