Eyebrow transplantation is a delicate procedure that involves transferring hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back of the scalp) to the eyebrows. Foundation method practitioners use the advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique, meticulously harvesting individual hair follicles and implanting them into the brow area to achieve natural growth patterns that match the direction, density, and texture of the existing brow hairs.
The FUE approach allows your surgeon to deliver a fully customized treatment plan based on your facial structure and aesthetic goals. When you work with a surgeon trained in the Foundation Aesthetic Hair Restoration Method by Dr. J. Epstein, the procedure is tailored to your goals.
Eyebrow transplants can be ideal for individuals who are dealing with the following:
- Over-plucking
- Genetic thinning
- Injury
- Medical conditions like alopecia
- And more
The process is virtually painless, taking about 5 hours to complete—whether restoring the full eyebrow or filling in specific areas. Regrowth rates for transplanted hairs are typically high, although some patients may choose a second procedure for added density or to perfect the shape.
