Eyebrow Restoration: Importance, Characteristics, and Technique

Eyebrows are a defining facial feature, playing a crucial role in framing the eyes and shaping overall appearance. Unlike scalp hair loss, which is often considered a natural process, eyebrow loss is generally seen as cosmetically undesirable.

Causes of eyebrow thinning or loss include regular and excessive plucking – which is the most common cause- in addition to medical conditions (such as thyroid disorders and alopecia areata), burns, infections, tattoos, congenital absence, and genetic predisposition.

For suitable candidates, eyebrow restoration offers a permanent solution through hair transplantation. However, due to the unique attributes of eyebrow hair, the procedure differs significantly from scalp hair transplants.

Key Characteristics of Eyebrow Hair

  • Directional Growth: Eyebrow hairs grow in varying directions—upward near the nose, outward and downward at the top, and outward and upward in the lower brow—creating a natural crisscross pattern.
  • Growth Angle: Unlike scalp hair, which emerges at a 45-degree angle, eyebrow hairs grow at a much shallower angle, lying flat against the skin.
  • Single Hair Growth: Eyebrow hairs grow individually rather than in follicular units of multiple hairs, as seen on the scalp.
  • Regular need to trim: Although, hairs taken from the donor area are chosen for their ability to remain fine, they still need to be trimmed as they will continue to grow at the same rate as those in the donor area.

Eyebrow Transplantation Technique

Because of their unique characteristics, a successful eyebrow transplant requires meticulous replication of the natural hair direction, with subtle angle adjustments to mimic the fan-like and converging patterns of eyebrow hair growth. Recipient sites are created using a fine-gauge needle that slides along the skin’s surface to ensure the transplanted hairs lie flat.

Since only single-hair grafts can be used, scalp hair—naturally occurring in follicular units—must be carefully dissected under a stereo microscope.

This makes eyebrow transplantation a detail-oriented and a meticulous procedure so the transplanted eyebrows will be as natural as possible.

Dr. Touma and his team take a personalized approach to every patient, carefully evaluating facial features to design eyebrows that fit harmoniously with their unique facial structure.
