Reasons.
There can be multiple reasons why you want a eyebrow restoration. Some potential reasons are; because you where in a serious accident and burned your eyebrows off, have been plucking them for a long period and the hair does not grow back anymore, you suffer from the side effects of drugs or medicines, chemotherapy treatment, or you just do not like the shape of your eyebrows.

Are you a good candidate?
If you want to have a eyebrow restoration it is important to speak with an experienced hair restoration surgeon about your reasons. They  can evaluate if you are a good candidate for this procedure.

The Procedure.
The hair restoration surgeon is going to transplant hair from one part of your body, usually the head, and implant this on your eyebrow. The result will be a very natural looking eyebrow. The procedure takes about 1 to 5 hours of your time depending on the amount of hair he has to transplant and implant.

Insurance.
Most people do not have their eyebrow restoration covered by the insurance policy because it is a cosmetic procedure. People who need eyebrow restoration or transplantation due to an accident or medical conditions are probably covered by their insurance company. It is always useful to inform and ask your insurance agent if you are insured for this procedure and what the requirements are.

Down time.
There is a minimal down time with this procedure. After the transplant and implant you will have some redness where the hairs are placed. Within a month this redness is gone and all other activities, like work, can be resumed shortly after the procedure.

What is interesting about this mad dash to change the look of eyebrows is the fact that this procedure was first used in Japan before World War II. So you see it is not a new and revolutionary procedure. It is really surprising that people have not been more excited about this years ago, but part of the answer why is because of the micro-surgical techniques that needed to be developed in order for quick recovery from the surgery.

Nobody wants to go around with bandages on their face, although of course this is necessary after major cosmetic surgery, so a lot of people held off on having the eyebrow implant procedure done.

A new technique that allows for the manipulation and transplantation of individual hair shafts and their support structures has made the procedure very quick and easy. Follicular unit extraction is the method in question. By utilizing this new technique a hair restoration surgeon can remove a hair shaft from the scalp and then insert it into a predetermined place in the brow area. By carefully laying out the placement of the hairs he or she can dramatically changed the shape and look of the patient’s eyebrows.
