People are curious about eyebrow transplants for all sorts of reasons.
Regardless of the reason an individual has thin eyebrows, an eyebrow transplant may be a solution.
This article will go over everything you need to know about Bay Area eyebrow enhancements.
Eyebrow transplants are in-office outpatient procedures. They usually rely on local rather than general anesthesia and oral sedation is used as well. These eliminate the prospect of pain during the procedure.
The surgeon harvests hair from the back of the patient's head and then places it in the desired, preplanned spots on the eyebrows.
Following the transplant, there usually isn't a pain in the eyebrow region. There may be pain in the back of the patient's head, but that usually goes away within one to two days.
After Bay Area eyebrow transplants are complete, some patience is necessary because the new, thicker eyebrow appearance will take some time to become apparent.
However, new hairs will typically begin to grow about three to four months post-procedure. After six to eight months, patients usually see top-end results.
These results are usually permanent, especially if a skilled eyebrow transplant surgeon handles the procedure. Some eyebrow maintenance will be necessary for the patient, namely in the form of regular trimming of the donor hairs.
To ensure a satisfactory result, an experienced San Francisco hair transplant surgeon will also take other factors into account.
For example, the surgeon will want to keep the patient's facial features in mind while contouring the eyebrows. Another factor is the angle of the hair grafts. These will vary from patient to patient.
Good surgeons also consider their patients' input on the desired appearance of the eyebrows.
Many patients wonder what sets eyebrow transplants apart from microblading.
The main difference is that micoblading does not involve hair; instead, it "fakes" the appearance of hair by using pigments.
Microblading produces less natural results, which are not permanent.
