Do you wish you could have full eyebrows again? Tired of using an eyebrow pencil? It is possible to restore the eyebrows to their natural look using a simple office based hair transplant procedure. By using follicular grafting technology, individual hairs can be replaced to form a natural appearing eyebrow. In an office based procedure, eyebrow restoration can be accomplished in an afternoon without general anesthesia or a hospital stay.
Am I a candidate for eyebrow transplants?
Almost anyone is a candidate for an eyebrow transplant. The key to determining candidacy is to determine the cause of the hair loss. In some people, hair loss is due to medical conditions which must be treated before a transplant is undertaken. It is important to speak with an experienced and knowledgeable hair restoration surgeon who can evaluate why you are having hair loss and treat it appropriately.
How long is the procedure?
Depending on the amount of hair loss, eyebrow restoration can take anywhere from 1 hour to 4 or 5 hours. It can be combined with other hair loss restoration procedures and can last even longer though producing better results.
Is eyebrow restoration covered by insurance?
This is a tricky question. Most insurance policies do not cover cosmetic procedures. At times, eyebrow transplants are necessary after trauma or medical conditions. If this is the case, insurance may pay for a portion or all of the procedure. It is best to speak with a representative from your insurance company to determine their specific requirements.
What is the down time?
Down time with the procedure is minimal. There is some redness associated with the incision sites where the individual hairs are placed. This can last a week or two. Otherwise, most normal activities can be resumed in a very short period of time.
