Eyebrows And Eyelashes Transplantation
Reasons For Losing Eyelashes
Our hair on our head, eyebrows, eyelashes, and even beards helps contribute to our presentation of ourselves as well as frame the face. When everything is in harmony, our facial hair all plays a big part in the way we look and how we are looked at.
Imagine if you didn’t have any eyelashes or eyebrows. It would completely change your entire look. It goes the other way as well. If you do have properly designed eyebrows as well as long lashes, that can be the look that is necessary to make everything come together on your face.
Maybe you just weren’t born with the type of lashes or brows that you would ideally want. You can also lose your eyebrows or eyelashes for many reasons such as:
Physical Stress Or Trauma – some causes of this could be a car accident or some type of burn like a chemical burn, electrical burn, or flames
A Systemic Or Local Disease – includes alopecia areata, alopecia totalis, alopecia universalis, and telogen effluvium
A Congenital Disorder – a birth defect that does not allow you to grow hair in this area
Overplucking – actually the most common reason for loss of hair, in most cases the eyebrows
Medical Treatment Side Effects – mostly to do with radiation or chemotherapy
Before you can actually move forward with any transplant, it is necessary to have a proper and thorough assessment from an experienced hair restoration specialist. It is most important to answer every question as honestly as possible. This specific line of questioning is intended to determine whether you are the ideal candidate for a hair transplant or whether another form of treatment may be more suited to what you are looking for.
Eyebrow Transplants
These are becoming very popular and are one of the most difficult transplants. They require a certain level of skill to be able to “pull them off” properly. If the hairs are not transplanted at proper angles or if the design is not laid out properly, the results can look ridiculous. The main focus when seeking a hair restoration specialist to do an eyebrow transplant is making sure that they have a good understanding of what you are looking for and can actually design a look for you with your input so that you can be confident that you will be getting the best result.
Eyelash Transplants
Latisse is amazing for treating short eyelashes, and it has been proven to work. This is the first recommendation for treating eyelashes. If the patient has no eyelashes left to treat, then a transplant is the only solution. This is probably the most specialized procedure there is for a hair transplant surgeon. The donor hair that will be used in an eyebrow transplant must be meticulously selected to make sure that it meets certain criteria.
– All grafts must be single hair follicles only. Some grafts can have up to 4 hairs and are great for adding density in a hair transplant but not so great when doing an eyelash transplant.
– Sometimes as little as 6 to 10 hairs are all that is needed to complete a good eyelash transplant. So don’t expect to be quoted a price per graft for this highly specialized treatment.
