Eyebrow transplantation concerns an area that strongly shapes facial expression, so detailed design is important. The cause of eyebrow loss needs to be considered before focusing on shape alone. Personal preferences, existing hair direction and donor characteristics belong in the same discussion.
How does design relate to your face?
The start, arch and tail of an eyebrow should be considered alongside natural facial features. Discuss a shape that suits your everyday appearance rather than a single fashionable outline. You may wish to review the drawing in different lighting and with a relaxed expression.
Hair direction and maintenance
Eyebrow hairs follow different directions across the brow. Ask about the characteristics of the proposed donor hair and how it may grow afterwards. Clarify whether regular trimming or shaping would be needed.
Assessing suitability
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, skin conditions, scars and continuing hair loss. Not every type of thinning calls for the same approach. Discuss the advantages and limitations of any relevant alternatives.
Your follow-up plan
Care near the eyes, cleansing and returning to cosmetic products require individual advice. Adapt the follow-up questions in our patient guide to the proposed eyebrow procedure.
