Eyebrow Transplants Explained

Amazed with the results of eyebrow transplant

Cosmetic procedures come in a number of different forms, and some are better known than others. Currently we are seeing an increase in demand for a treatment that is perhaps not particularly well known, and that treatment is eyebrow transplants. So, in order to let you know exactly what they are, how they work and why people decide to opt for them, we’ve compiled this quick guide below…

What Are Eyebrow Transplants?

They are pretty much as the name suggests: those who are unsatisfied with their eyebrows can take hair from a different part of the body – usually from behind the ears – and then have this surgically transplanted into their eyebrows. This then creates fuller eyebrows, and we are able to tailor the end results to suit your own personal preferences.

Why Do People Have Eyebrow Transplants?

There are many reasons why people have eyebrow transplants UK wide, but they all eventually point to one thing: they want to look better. Many people are self-conscious that their eyebrows are sparse and this can be down to a number of reasons. Perhaps the most common reason is simply due to the effects of aging, however we also see many patients who have over-plucked their eyebrows earlier in their life. While this is an issue that usually affects women, it is important to mention that we also have had a number of male patients undergoing this treatment.

How Does the Process Work?

The process is a reasonably simple one. We will firstly give the patient a sedative – although the procedure is not painful – and then begin to remove hairs from the head, complete with the follicles. We’ll remove as many as needed in order to gain the look you want. Once we have all these hairs, we will then delicately transplant them one by one into the eyebrows, until the perfect result is gained. The whole procedure generally takes around two hours to complete.

Are Results Permanent?

Absolutely. Once the transplant has been completed, you will continue to have fuller eyebrows forever. Of course, should you decide that you want another change, we will always be on hand to help with that. It should be noted that full results will not be seen for around 12 months after the procedure has been completed.

Is There Any Downtime?

When it comes to your everyday life, there is no need to change your routine at all. This means that you are able to return to work straight away. The only thing that we’d recommend is that you avoid sweating too much – meaning that exercise should be avoided – as the sweat could cause infections. We will, of course, provide you with full aftercare instructions when you leave after the procedure.

Who Will Perform the Procedure?

The procedure will be performed by one of our highly experienced surgeons, who have completed many of these procedures during their careers and know that they can perform the best eyebrow transplants UK citizens can find. They work within state-of-the-art surroundings, and will ensure that your procedure is carried out to the highest possible standards.

Eyebrow Transplant

•••

Moorgate Aesthetics has recently seen a rise in the popularity of eyebrow transplants for people who are seeking bigger, fuller brows with natural-looking, permanent results:

this surge in demand could be a result of the prominence of celebrities such as Keira Knightley, Megan Fox, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Connelly and model of the moment Cara Delevingne.

The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons noted soaring interest in the procedure due to the high profile of the Duchess of Cambridge and her “natural” look.

Eyebrow restoration is an excellent way to replace eyebrows or touch up small areas of hair loss that result from scars, genetic causes or over-plucking caused by the trend from previous years.

Got-thining-or-no-eyebrow-hair ?

Each time you pull out a hair, you run the risk of pulling out a bit of root. Over time, this leads to the hair getting increasingly fine and, in many cases, eventually stops growing entirely.

Introduction

Eyebrow transplants are designed to restore growing hair to eyebrows that are overly thin, scarred, or completely missing.

FUT & FUE eyebrow hair transplant

Moorgate Aesthetics uses a technique called follicular unit transplantation & follicular extraction; this involves the removal of donor follicles from the back of the patient’s head. The donor hairs that have come from the scalp which, when transplanted into the eyebrows, continue to grow for a lifetime and therefore need to be trimmed typically once a month.

To provide a natural appearance, the hairs are transplanted primarily one and occasionally two at a time, the natural way eyebrow hairs grow. This is a very delicate procedure, requiring perfect placement of these hairs into tiny (half-millimetre) incisions that are angled at just the right direction and positioned to mimic natural growth.

Natural Permanent Results

A procedure typically involves the placement of 50 to as many as 325 hairs into each eyebrow, depending upon the existing amount of hair and the desired size and density. Performed usually under a mild oral sedative, the two-hour procedure is essentially painless.

Our qualified hair transplant surgeon will discuss the arch shape, appropriate thickness of hair, space between brows, and brow length individually designed based on your requirements, facial type and features.

Hair Transplant Costs: How Much Will It Set You Back?

You’d be forgiven for thinking that hair transplant operations can only be afforded by the super rich, especially when you read stories about the likes of Robbie Williams and Wayne Rooney undergoing the procedure.

hair transplants costs

Hair transplants, however, aren’t as expensive as some people think – the price you pay will usually depend on the extent of your hair loss, and the intensity with which you want to replace lost hair. Many of our clients come back to us to say that their hair transplant has been money well spent, the treatment that we provide can help to restore the natural hairline – and in some cases it can stop hair loss altogether. We know what it takes to achieve results with our hair loss patients, and that’s why we have such a good reputation for delivering a straightforward service to our clients.

Demand for hair transplant operations has spiralled recently – with a 260% increase in the number of men enquiring about hair transplant surgery. There has also been a huge surge in the number of men willing to travel abroad to undergo hair transplant surgery – the figures are up 180%. Although traveling overseas for the procedure is often seen as a cheap way of combating the problem of hair loss, once you factor in the cost of air tickets and accommodation, it’s often cheaper to remain in the UK for the treatment. Other factors to consider include regulation of drugs and medical professionals in overseas countries – not every country has a controlled system in place like the UK where only approved drugs and individuals can carry out the procedure for the safety of patients.

The actual cost of your transplant will vary according to a range of factors. Typically, hair transplant surgery costs anything from £2,000 to £10,000 or more. There are two types of hair transplant surgery for consideration: FUE and FUT.

FUE stands for follicular unit extraction and involves taking healthy groupings of hair from elsewhere on your body and transplanting them to areas on your scalp where you’ve experienced hair loss. After just a few months the transplanted hair should grow normally – this kind of treatment doesn’t lead to permanent scarring and is usually carried out in just one session.

FUE Hair transplant procedure

FUT stands for follicular unit transplantation and it’s a procedure where naturally occurring units of hair are transplanted in groups of one to four. This transplant procedure is often favoured because once complete, hair grows naturally and it’s virtually impossible to tell that the hair has been transplanted.

Many men turn to hair transplant surgery because there are no drugs or other cures proven to bring back lost hair. Although some drugs available can halt or slow hair loss, there are currently no drugs that allow men to regrow hair.

Hair transplantation requires considerable skill and you can be reassured of being treated by a fully qualified hospital Consultant at Moorgate Aesthetics.

 Why choose hair Transplantation?

Losing your hair at any time can have a devastating effect on your confidence. Losing it early in life such as your early twenties can be truly devastating and we see so many men whose lives seem to be “ on hold” because of the effect that hair loss is having on them.

There are medications which can help prevent hair loss and perhaps help thicken up what you have left. However, if you have lost a considerable amount of hair then the only real way of getting that back to its former glory is a hair transplant.

How does the FUE procedure work?

FUE stands for follicular unit extraction. Hair is taken from the back and /or sides and transplanted into the thinning or bald area. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic. In most cases clients have more than enough hair at the back of the head to replace lost hair on top, without any detection at the back of the head, this area is called the donor area.

The FUE Hair Transplant Results

Your new hair will start to regrow between three and six months later. It will grow just as it did at the back of the head. The same colour, same rate…just the same as before. All you will need to do going forward it get it cut and styled! We can recreate a lost hairline and cover a bald patch on the crown, it’s up to you.

After the Procedure
Because we use a local anaesthetic you can go home after the procedure. Allow a week for recover time as you are likely to get some swelling to the operated area at first.

The Medical Team
Dr Ali has a special team around him that assist him during your hair transplant procedure.             The FUE grafts are specially prepared before placing in the recipient area. The whole process is very organised and controlled to ensure maximum growth of your newly implanted hair. A hair transplant is not a cheap procedure. However, when the hair has been transplanted that’s it. You will not need to have any other treatment. The hair will keep growing even in the area where hair has previously fallen out. In recent years hair transplants have enjoyed a revolution as famous celebrities have taken the plunge and decided to get their hair back.

Comparisons with follicular unit transplantation

 

Follicular unit extraction generally has a quicker patient recovery time and significantly lower post-operative discomfort than follicular unit transplantation (FUT).FUE provides an alternative to FUT when the scalp is too tight for a strip excision and enables a hair transplant surgeon to harvest finer hair from the nape of the neck to be used at the hairline or for eyebrows.

However, with FUE, the follicles are harvested from a much greater area of the donor zone compared to FUT, estimated to be eight times greater than that of traditional strip excision so requires patients to have hairs trimmed in a much larger donor area. As a result, the hair in the lower and upper parts of the donor area, where the grafts were taken from, may thin and this can make the donor scars visible. Follicles harvested from borderline areas of the donor region may not be truly “permanent,” so that over time, the transplanted hair may be lost. Maximum follicular unit graft yield is lower than with FUT and may result in greater follicular transection (damage).Due to the scarring and distortion of the donor scalp from FUE it makes subsequent sessions more difficult, and grafts are more fragile and subject to trauma during placing, since they often lack the protective dermis and fat of microscopically dissected grafts, ultimately which may result in poor growth. A problem of buried grafts can occur during the blunt phase of the three-step technique when the graft is pushed into fat and must be removed through a small incision. FUE can also be more expensive and take longer to perform than FUT, so grafts are usually out of the body longer, risking sub-optimal growth.

Hair Transplants Using Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT )

 

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a hair restoration technique where a patient’s hair is transplanted in naturally occurring groups of 1 to 4 hairs, called follicular units. Follicular units also contain sebaceous (oil) glands, nerves, a small muscle, and occasional fine vellus hairs. In Follicular Unit Transplantation these small units allow the surgeon to safely transplant thousands of grafts in a single session, which maximizes the cosmetic impact of the procedure.

Maximizing hair transplant growth

Since the follicular unit is a distinct anatomic and physiologic entity, preserving it intact during the graft dissection is felt to maximize growth. In FUT, after hair is removed from the back of the scalp in a single strip, stereo-microscopic dissection allows the individual follicular units to be removed from this strip without being damaged. 

There are four reasons why the follicular unit transplantation procedure allows a hair transplant surgeon to transplant large numbers of grafts in each session:

• The hair restoration can be completed quickly so that the patient has minimal interference with his/her lifestyle,
• A larger number of grafts can compensate for the shedding that frequently accompanies a hair transplant, called telogen effluvium,
• Using large numbers of grafts in each session preserves the donor supply by reducing the number of times incisions are made in the donor area,
• Extracting large numbers of grafts provides sufficient 1- and 2-hair grafts to create a soft frontal hairline and enough 3- and 4- hair grafts to give the patient the fullest possible look.
