Eyebrow Transplant

Yes, particularly in the first year. Scalp donor hair retains its scalp growth cycle initially — growing longer than natural eyebrow hair. Most patients trim once or twice a week at first. Over 12–24 months, many find the transplanted hairs adapt and slow their growth rate considerably.

Yes. Eyebrow transplant can be performed over or adjacent to existing eyebrow tattoos or microblading. The transplanted hair adds dimension and texture that tattooing cannot replicate. The tattoo may actually help guide placement design.

Full eyebrow restoration typically requires 150–350 grafts per brow for patients with complete loss. Patients enhancing sparse existing brows may need 50–150 grafts per side. Dr. Truesdale will provide an exact count at consultation.

Local anesthesia is administered before any work begins. The anesthetic injections to the brow area are the most uncomfortable part — brief and typically described as a minor sting. Once numb, the procedure is painless. Mild soreness for 24–48 hours after is managed with over-the-counter analgesics.

Common causes include over-plucking (which can cause permanent follicle damage over time), thyroid disorders (both hypo- and hyperthyroidism), alopecia areata, nutritional deficiencies, chemotherapy, trichotillomania, trauma and scarring, and genetic or congenital sparse brows.

Yes. The procedure allows Dr. Truesdale to design a new brow shape entirely — adding length to the tails, filling in the heads, correcting asymmetry, or reshaping the arch. The design is drawn and reviewed with you before any grafts are placed.
