This is an Asian patient who wanted to enhance her eyebrows. She was worried about how it may look after the surgery, especially going back to work! She didn’t see many before after photos on-line of how it looked IMMEDIATELY AFTER SURGERY so she gave us permission to use her photos. Hopefully it can help […]

Skin or scalp can have some color changes after a hair transplant or eyebrow transplant surgery. The skin can look a little red but this usually goes away after several days, weeks or to the extreme to several months. Every person is different and every surgeon’s techniques may be different. Please follow up with your […]
Leg hair has a different hair cycle than head hair. Some body hair has 70% of its life cycle in telogen (sleep) and does not appear on the recipient area transplanted therefore but 30% of the time. So a successful eyebrow transplant with body hair, will keep to its growth cycle. It will disappoint the […]
Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) may work well to fill out the eyebrows, provided that there is enough hair in the eyebrows and the hair on your eyebrows is dark. If you darken the skin underneath the eyebrow with SMP and the eyebrow hair is lighter in color than the pigment used below, it will be problematic […]
What you perceive and what is real may be completely different. You need to follow up with your doctor. Hopefully you doctor took some pictures or took some objective measurements (such as a bulk analysis or a miniaturization study) to validate what you may be experiencing. With respect to your eyebrow issue, I do not […]
You can try it, but I doubt it will work. I’m not sure why someone would think castor oil will grow hair on the eyebrows or scalp. With respect to safety, I would just point out some common sense stuff, like to not get the oil in your eyes. If you are going to try […]
I find it difficult to understand how shaving your eyebrows once would cause them never to grow back. Please see a doctor and get a good diagnosis. Maybe you have other medical issues that may cause the absence of eyebrows (such as alopecia areata). Eyebrow transplantation is a very reasonable option for many men and […]
The most common cause of loss of eyebrow hair is plucking of the hair. I realize you said that you aren’t pulling or plucking, but many people who do pull out their hair (including eyebrows) deny that they do it. This is an obsessive compulsive disorder called trichotillomania. If the loss of eyebrows are not […]
I have heard of strange hair growth patterns with Propecia, but this is a new one to me! You sound to be in good spirits with a healthy sense of humor, at least. I suppose shaving the hair off would be the best thing to do.
Like you, I am always concerned about overdosing steroids. Patients need to follow up closely with their doctors for any adverse effects. A treatment that may work in others may not work for you. Doctors are there to help their patients, but the healing process is dynamic and things may change. We all have the […]
If the eyebrow has not grown back within 6-12 months, then I would not expect it to grow back. Transplants are the only way to treat this condition; however, if you get the transplants and resume plucking them, then you can lose the new eyebrows as well.
Hair transplant results are the same for eyebrow or scalp. The eyebrows tend to crust less, but the key to keeping crusting down is to use a good washing technique daily after the transplant. I have never recommended Vaseline petroleum after a hair transplant.
It has not been a problem in our hands. Careful microscopic dissection is critical to make sure that the area of the sebaceous glands are accurately dissected. For those that aren’t familiar, follicular unit grafts used in transplantation contain 1, 2, 3, or 4 hairs each. With eyebrow transplants, these multi-hair grafts are split into […]
Thin eyebrows just means you have thin eyebrows, especially since you report having this as a child. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have a thyroid issue. If you think you have a thyroid condition, then you should see your primary care doctor. It is a simple blood test. If you want thicker eyebrows, you can […]
Yes, we’ve transplanted the eyebrows of many men. I have a patient that sounds like what you’re describing, with great looking results that strengthened the overall brow by filling in the edges (and thankfully he’s given me permission to share his photos below). This man had a eyebrow transplant procedure of 189 grafts about two […]
