Eyelash Transplant

If done properly, absolutely. It is important that the surgeon pays particular attention to the angle at which they are creating the recipient sites for each individual follicle to be placed because this will dictate not only the shape of the eventual eyebrows but also the density of the transplanted hairs and most importantly the direction in which the hairs eventually grow. Particularly with the "head" of the eyebrow toward the bridge of the nose, it is important that the hairs typically grow more vertically and of course very close to the skin instead of perpendicular to the skin.

Question:

Hi, I already asked this question before, but since I had some trouble with my e-mail account, I want to ask you again:
I had my eyebrows tatooed about 4 years ago, and now they are fading away, and I would like to know about a transplant.
Approximate cost, recovery time, procedure, and as it is head hair, does it grow in eyebrows?
Please send me as much information as you can, because I am considering seriously the eyebrow transplant

Answer:

It is a pleasure to reply to your questions.
This is a procedure I, as well as many of the other Foundation for Hair Restoration doctors, perform several times a week, with typically quite impressive results after just a single procedure of 200 to as many as 375 hairs per eyebrow. Having had a permanent tattoo to the area presents no problems. The fee for such an eyebrow restoration procedure will depend upon the number of hairs transplanted. Once performed, all the crusts fall off after 4-5 days or so, with most of my patients flying back home as soon as the first day after their procedure.

Question:

Do you perform eyelash transplants?

Answer:

Yes. Eyelash transplants are an effective way for restoring density and length to the upper eyelids. This is a procedure I now regularly perform for cosmetic purposes. The eyelashes will need to be trimmed on a once or twice monthly basis, but produce aesthetic results. I suggest you send some photos for me to evaluate.
