The phases applied in the FUE technique for beard transplants are similar to the ones previously mentioned in eyebrow transplants with relatively indistinguishable outcomes.

In addition to the meticulous medical care presented to patients afterwards, some of the complications should be noted.

FUE eyebrow transplantation can be used to treat both men and women of all ages. Although most eyebrow restorations concern women between 30 and 50 years of age. In contrary to the previous trend, women have started to abandon thinning their eyebrows and made a swift shift towards the thick eyebrow look.

Power eyebrows have taken center stage in Hollywood! Brows YouTube tutorials are uploaded almost every day causing a tremendous uptick in brow transplant surgeries, a surgery once considered as rare.

Nonetheless, eyebrow transplantation can further serve as an alternative solution for hair restoration in pathological conditions, such as e.g. hypothyroidism. The donor hair is mostly from the scalp particularly, from the occipital region. The harvested hair is mainly extracted via the FUE technique. The number of the follicles required for the FUE techniques varies between few follicles to few hundred depending on the patients’ medical/aesthetic needs.
FUE technique is a minimal invasive surgery and widely considered as the method of choice, mostly carried out using micro tools to avoid tissue removal, thus subsequent scarring which might sabotage the aesthetic value. 1 or 2 FUE sessions may be required for the best possible results particularly if high densities are required.
The results of the procedure begin to appear relatively early, within 4–6 months, mostly attributed to the rich supply of blood. The growth of new hairs continues up to 12 months after the eyebrow transplant. The procedure takes three to five hours to perform, most commonly with an oral sedative and local anesthesia.
Post-operation swelling and headache is common as it is essential to provide the patients with proper post-op care to facilitate the alleviation of the aforementioned signs and symptoms.
