Eyebrow Restoration: How to Transplant Eyebrows Step by Step?
With the possibilities offered by modern medicine eyebrow transplant stages, is no longer a feared surgical process, but a comfortable aesthetic experience. The protocol we apply in Medlook standards consists of 4 basic phases:
1. Preparation and Comfort (Local Anesthesia)
“Will I feel pain?” is the biggest fear of our patients. Our answer is clear: No. Before the procedure, we numb both the nape area where we will take root and the eyebrow area where we will transplant with hair-thin needles or pressurized devices without needles. This stage takes only 2-3 minutes and then you will not feel anything until the procedure is over. So much so that you can listen to music, chat with us or sleep during the operation.
2. Root Harvesting from the Donor Site (Micro-Surgery)
The secret is hidden here. In hair transplantation, the roots are taken in groups of 2 or 3, eyebrow transplant techniques is completely different. Because natural eyebrows always grow “SINGLE”.
- Hair follicles are collected from the safe area between the two ears (donor area) on the nape of your neck.
- But not every root is removed. Only the ones with the finest strands and singles are selected.
- If multiple (2-3 strands) roots are accidentally transplanted, your eyebrows will have a clumpy, coarse appearance. Medlook specialists work with microscopic precision.
3rd Channel Opening (Moment of Naturalness Determination)
This is where a physician shows his mastery. Does Eyebrow Transplant Look Natural? concern is answered at this stage. Two critical rules must be followed when opening the canals (i.e. the slots where the roots will enter):
- Oblique Angle Hair should grow perpendicular to the skin (45 degrees), while eyebrows should stick to the skin, almost parallel (10-15 degrees).
- Fan Form The head of the eyebrow looks up, the body to the side and the tail down. Channel directions should follow this flow exactly.
4th Implantation (October)
The delicate, single roots are placed one by one into the prepared canals (or directly into the skin with a DHI pen). Here, not traumatizing (“battering”) the tissue increases the healing speed.
