Restoring eyebrows for alopecia universalis female

Posted October, 10/31/2008 - 01:00 AM

Question:

Hello. I am a 21 year old male who has been suffering from Alopecia since I was a
child. Is eyebrow transplantation right for me? I have some eyebrows but
they are sparse, and thin. I’ve tried medication such as cyclocort,
minoxidil (5%), and cortisone injections, but results have been minimal. Thanks

Answer:

Yes, this is an effective procedure for someone with your condition. Once performed, the transplants are permanent. There are several donor areas I can use- the best is the scalp, but if there are not hairs available for transplanting in that area, I have used the legs, chest, and big toe for donor areas.

It would be a pleasure to evaluate any photos you send to me, along with whatever information you can provide me with about your alopecia.
