Can you transplant an eyebrow?
Yes, eyebrow transplants work nicely. There are a series of problems that hair taken from the back of the head causes when it is moved to the eyebrow:
- It will grow long, so it must be cut on an angle a few times a week.
- It may take on the thickness of the hair behind the head. If the eyebrow has finer hair, than this might be a problem.
- There is always a risk of a change in character of the hair itself (unusual).
I love doing eyebrows on men, as most men want bushy or wider eyebrows. For women, we must be selective and sensitive to hair type. The photos below are of one of our male eyebrow patients who just came back a little over a year after his transplant. On the left is the “before” photo, on the right is the “after” photo.

[...] imes a week and cut on an angle for hair shape. I posted a blog entry recently about this: Eyebrow Transplants. You need to be evaluated for the hairline loss. Read my response [...]
Is it possible to fill in a scar on my eyebrow with the hairs from my other eyebrow?
If so, would it be a good idea to pluck and collect hairs from my good eyebrow to transplant them later?
Neil,
I’ve answered your question here — http://www.baldingblog.com/2005/07/12/eyebrow-harvesting/
Thanks for writing.
Where are your clinical offices located to do the eyebrow transplants?
thanks.
I’ve been darkening my eyebrows very successfully with eyebrow pencil for the past 20 years. One would say I’ve become an artist at it. Even been modeling without detection for the past 8 years. As a man it is complete misery having to do this every single day. I can’t even go swimming! I’m afraid somedays I might over do it and someone will notice and not say anything. Especially now since I’ve been using mascara on thin spots in my scalp and having to keep my hair black and low. Last night, at about 4:00am I saw stumbled onto this page and immediately began crying. All I want to know is how can I get more information about cost and insurance and location. I’m more than ready, I want this over!!!
Thank you
