She underwent an eyebrow transplant procedure-one of the more technically delicate procedures- to have the eyebrows restored. You can see the before, the immediately after, and the 8 month results.

Jeffrey Epstein, MD, FACS is one of the most well respected hair transplant surgeons in the world, with over 16 years experience as a hair restoration surgeon and 20 years as a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon. He has been a recognized leader in the hair restoration field, publishing, lecturing, and being at the forefront of emerging techniques such as microscopic follicular unit grafting, reparative procedures, the newer follicular unit extraction procedure, eyebrow and other body and facial hair transplants, and procedures in women-not only helping develop these procedures, but finding ways to perfect them by integrating plastic surgery techniques.
In assembling the Foundation for Hair Restoration, Dr. Epstein has created the first nationwide hair practice composed of hand-selected, board certified surgeons, not working for a large “chain” but rather as individual surgeons in private practice, where patient care and attention to detail are a must. Each FHR surgeon is committed to the same mission-to provide the finest in aesthetic hair restoration in an ethical and professional environment, with a commitment to the highest level of patient satisfaction.
Using the smallest possible recipient sites (0.5 to 0.8 mm on average), created with our own custom-cut special blades, to achieve maximal density and shortest recovery, while not shaving the hair in the recipient area.
The typical FHR patient gets to enjoy full naturalness and undetectability, and a hair growth rate of 90-plus percent on average, results that match or exceed the professional standards. It is every FHR surgeon’s policy to replace those grafts that do not grow-at no charge to the patient.
Offering the incisionless follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique. Using specially designed punches 0.8 mm in size, as many as 3000 FUE grafts can be transplanted over two days.
Keeping up with the very latest proven therapies, including platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy and low level laser light therapy, which are now offered as a routine part of all transplant procedures to accelerate healing and improve hair regrowth.
Working with highly trained and committed FHR hair technicians, who average over 8 years working with our FHR doctors, and who have been trained in the most advanced techniques.
Delivering anesthesia painlessly with the computerized device called The Wand®-a technique first described by Dr. Epstein over 12 years ago. In addition, most of our surgeons can offer procedures performed under twilight sedation. Our facilities are all accredited-insuring safety and sterility-going beyond the standards of just about every other hair restoration practice worldwide.
EVERY ONE of our surgeons is board certified in one or more of the following specialities: facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, and/or hair restoration surgery. They also actively publish and teach their techniques at national and international meetings.
Patients can combine plastic surgery procedures with their hair restoration, due to the qualifications of our surgeons.
