How is Eyebrow Transplantation Done?
Eyebrow transplantation operation is performed with DHI technique. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, takes about 3-4 hours. In eyebrow transplantation, roots taken from the nape area are used. These roots must be placed at a certain angle and in a certain direction to the area to be transplanted.
Hair follicles emerge from the skin at a 45 degree angle. Eyebrows are very different. They emerge from the skin at an angle of approximately 10-15 degrees. They have a shape that points upwards in the inner part of the eyebrow, parallel to the ground as they reach the middle, and slightly downwards in the outer part of the eyebrow. Otherwise, if the eyebrow is transplanted incorrectly, it may grow in the opposite direction or downward. For this reason, eyebrow transplantation is a procedure that must be performed by an expert team.

Lack of eyebrows on the face can cause dissatisfaction with one’s appearance. In these cases, eyebrow transplantation may be considered without affecting the treatment process.
