Adherence to post-operative instructions is crucial for graft survival and optimal healing.
Each clinic may have slight variations in their aftercare advice, so it’s always best to follow the specific instructions provided by the transplant surgeon.
You can trim your transplanted eyebrows around 2-4 weeks post-procedure, based on your doctor’s advice and healing progress.
Ensure the area is fully healed with no irritation before trimming. Use clean scissors or an electric trimmer on a safe setting to maintain shape and appearance. Be gentle to avoid dislodging the new hairs, which are still stabilizing in their new positions.
Initially, transplanted hairs grow longer and faster, requiring frequent trimming. After six months, their growth rate slows down.
Temporary swelling and bruising typically resolving within 5-7 days with proper head elevation and cold compresses.
Minor inflammation around new hairs managed with warm compresses and topical antibiotics if necessary.
Expected due to superficial nerve trauma, with full sensation returning within several months.
Meticulous surgical technique minimizes improper angulation; minor corrections possible in subsequent sessions.
Transplanted hairs will grow like scalp hair and require regular trimming, which can typically begin 2-4 weeks post-procedure once healed.
Prevented through adherence to natural eyebrow anatomical principles and conservative density planning.
Rare but more common in predisposed individuals, managed with early steroid intervention if occurring.
Despite our most meticulous efforts, achieving 100% natural replication remains challenging due to fundamental differences in hair characteristics between donor scalp hair and natural eyebrow hair.
The technical limitations of insertion angles present particular challenges, as the most acute angle achievable surgically is approximately 35 degrees, while natural eyebrow hairs often emerge at much shallower angles of 5-15 degrees from the skin surface.
As with any medical procedure, a thorough understanding of the process and outcomes is essential.
