Fuller, more shapely eyebrows are currently one of the most desirable
attributes of the face, and everyone seems to be seeking ways to improve
their brows. Many treatments exist to attempt to simulate the appearance
of a perfect brow including eyebrow tattooing and microblading, however,
the results tend to fade and never really look natural. Why undergo
procedures that don’t last and look unnatural when you could achieve a
completely natural look by having an eyebrow transplant using your own hair?
Eyebrows are one of the most important features that set the structure and
balance of your face. From wanting fuller eyebrows when you are younger to
reversing thinning eyebrows from the aging process in your forties and
beyond, S3 Hair Transplant Clinic’s signature Brows (eyebrow hair transplants)
are extremely popular amongst any generation. The hair is your own real hair
and the results last a lifetime.

• Realistic goals and expectations
Dr.’s at S3 will review your medical history and perform a physical exam. Be prepared to answer questions about current and past medical conditions. Talk about any medications you are currently taking or have taken recently, as well as any surgeries you have had. It is extremely important to tell us if you are allergic to any medications. To determine your treatment options and candidacy for eyebrow hair transplantation, Dr.’s at S3 will examine areas of your scalp to determine quality, density and texture of your hair as well as the number of grafts that will be required for desirable results. In addition, you will take photographs for your medical record. During your consultation, Dr.’s at S3 will discuss with you your reasons for wanting eyebrow hair transplantation and what your expectations are in terms of appearance after the procedure. In addition, Dr.’s at S3 will review the history of your eyebrows including plucking/tweezing and any noticeable thinning over the years.
Depending on your age and general health, certain preoperative tests may be necessary. We will discuss these with you and be sure that they are performed prior to undergoing your procedure. If you are a smoker, Dr.’s at S3 will recommend that you stop smoking both before your procedure and during your recovery period as smoking decreases blood flow in the skin and can slow the healing process. In addition, smoking increases the risk of tissue damage. By stopping smoking, you will improve your ability to heal and optimize your postoperative results. If you need help quitting smoking, we will be happy to assist you. Certain medications will need to be avoided both before and after your procedure such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs and herbal supplements, which can increase bleeding. We will provide you with a list of all medications to be avoided. For the day of your procedure, you should also make plans for someone to bring you to and from our office and stay with you at least the first night afterwards. If a caregiver is not available, or if you prefer to recover in privacy, our office staff will be happy to schedule postoperative care for you with our world-class postoperative care facility.
Downtime following eyebrow hair transplantation is minimal. In many instances, patients can return to normal light activities and even work after a day or two. Small scabs will be present around each hair graft within the eyebrows for up to 10 days following your procedure. Through the normal hair cycle, many of the implanted hairs fall initially during the first few weeks after your procedure and new hairs begin to grow and are visible after 3 to 4 months following transplantation.
