Eyebrow and eyelash transplants are micro-surgical procedures requiring extreme precision, typically using single-hair grafts sourced from the scalp.
Eyebrow Transplant
Performed for patients with loss from over-tweezing, botched permanent makeup, injury, or genetic sparseness. Scalp hair naturally grows faster and straighter than eyebrow hair, so transplanted hairs need periodic trimming and shaping.
Eyelash Transplant
A rarer, more complex procedure. Fine hairs are placed into the thinning lash line; because the transplanted hairs can grow faster than natural lashes, they require regular training with a lash curler and oil.
The Texture-Match Challenge
Eyebrow transplant is theoretically possible in patients with curly/Afro-textured hair, but texture matching is difficult โ finding the closest-textured hair elsewhere on the body (e.g., the leg) may be preferable.
