TLDR Eyebrow hair transplants have high patient satisfaction and require surgeons to have artistic and technical skills.

The article from 2017 by Anthony Bared and Jeffrey S. Epstein details advancements in eyebrow hair transplantation, a procedure growing in demand due to preferences for fuller eyebrows. The authors, with over 1,000 procedures performed, outline the entire process from pre-operative evaluation, which considers various causes for eyebrow thinning, to post-operative care. They highlight the selection of donor hair from the occipital scalp and the use of both FUE and FUG techniques. The procedure typically involves transplanting 150 to 400 grafts per eyebrow, with careful attention to the direction and angle of hair growth to ensure natural-looking results. Post-operative care instructions include keeping the area dry and using antibiotics to prevent infection. The authors also discuss potential complications such as asymmetry and suboptimal hair angulation, which may necessitate corrective measures. The conclusion emphasizes the high patient satisfaction rate and the necessity for surgeons to possess both artistic and technical expertise.
