Q71 How does eyebrow transplantation differ from scalp hair transplantation?
Conclusion
Eyebrows require fewer units, flatter implantation angles and zone-by-zone design following hair direction. Transplanted hair retains its donor-area growth characteristics and needs regular trimming.
Supporting information
Missing, sparse or scar-affected eyebrows.
Eyebrow and scalp design parameters are not interchangeable. The design marked during your consultation takes precedence.
Risks and limitations
Eyebrows are highly visible. Incorrect direction or density is harder to revise than on the scalp, and ongoing grooming is needed.
Next steps
Confirm the estimated unit count, directional design and expected trimming frequency during your consultation.
