Eyebrow hair transplant has recently gained popularity. Indeed, eyebrows can drastically affect the appearance of your face. They frame the eyes and enhance your face. Unfortunately, for numerous reasons ranging from hormonal changes, chemical treatments, aging, and over-plucking, you might need some help to improve the hair of your eyebrows.
Sometimes you can cover the lost hair via makeup or tattoos. However, as the new trend is thicker and natural eyebrows, makeup or tattoos are no longer a long-term and effective solution. Hence, the rising trend of eyebrow hair transplantation. Who would not say a giant yes to pencil and brow gel-free mornings?

Chrissy Teigen’s “Crazy” Transformation
Chrissy Teigen posted her gorgeous and unfiltered selfie on Instagram. She describes eyebrow hair transplant as a “blessing and a curse, this eyebrow procedure. 10/10 would do again lol”.
Her fresh look explains the blessing of the procedure. What about the curse, then? Even though the operation is painless, it is not as joyful as all surgical operations. It is more painful than simply filling in the brows with a pen.
Nevertheless, the results look fantastic. Teigen’s brows on the post look naturally full and long. It is in line with one of the biggest predicted trends for 2022. It is “healthy eyebrows.”
As you might have already guessed, Teigen is not the only celebrity taken over by the predicted trend. Her close friend, A-List hairstylist Jen Atkin, also documented her eyebrow operation.

But why, and how? Let’s touch on the basics of an eyebrow hair transplant procedure.
What is Eyebrow Hair Transplantation?
You might be suffering from scarring or naturally thin/short eyebrows. It might be due to age or stress, or you may want to re-design your eyebrows to make them appear fuller in agreement with the trend. If you are over 18, you can consider the option of eyebrow hair transplant and join the current craze.
Eyebrow hair transplantation is a procedure that extracts hair from a donor area (generally the sides of the head behind the ears) hair-by-hair. The surgeon will carefully transplant every hair follicle, considering the personally chosen shape of the eyebrows. Treatment is minimally invasive, and the risk of scarring is shallow. Local anesthesia is enough for the procedure.
The Procedure Explained
First and foremost, remember that to achieve the desired eyebrow shape, the patient and surgeon shall maintain a good relationship. It is collaborative work of not perfection but reliable improvement. No doctor has a magic wand whatsoever. What you wish for should be within the limits of aesthetic surgery’s possibilities.
After the surgeon and patient agree upon the shape comes the operation of eyebrow hair transplant. The surgeon takes hair from the back of the scalp so that nobody will notice the loss. Then, under local anesthetic, via the FUE technique, new hair is inserted into the eyebrow one by one with great attention. Angulation of eyebrow transfer is very crucial. It must look natural, not resemble a brush. Even though patients awake, they will not feel pain during the transplantation for three to four hours at least. Multiple sessions might be required.
Here are the basics:
● Makes sure that you are the “eligible candidate” (look below for more information)
● Firstly, upon consultation with you, the surgeon will pencil your brows with a pen
● The surgeon uses the hair from the back of the ear to fill in the designed brow
● In total, the duration of the procedure is 5-6 hours
● The operation takes an hour, and it is painless
● Results are permanent after 3-4 months
How To Prepare for Eyebrow Hair Transplantation?
In essence, take note of these before you enter the operation room:
● Do not work out for ten days before the procedure
● Be off of aspirin for seven days until the operation
What Happens After the Procedure?
It will take two months after eyebrow hair transplant for the initial results to appear. Firstly, all the transplanted hair falls. It is normal. To achieve and maintain the wished-for look growing hair shall be trimmed in the second stage. Over the following year, full results will be visible. If you are over 18 and suffer from any otherwise untreatable hair loss, you are the perfect candidate to join the trend. Do not be afraid! The procedure has a 95% Worth It Rating among RealSelf members.
You can learn more about the process from Teigen’s close friend, celebrity hairdresser Jen Atkin’s vlog. She documented her brow transplant surgery on YouTube. It details the procedure and will give insight into the operation and post-surgical details.
In the post-surgical phase, you shall:
● Keep away from the sun for 3-4 weeks
● Be careful when washing your face, especially the eyebrow area
● Do not overwhelm yourself for a week; rest
● After ten days, you will be able to return to your routine, generally speaking
Are You An Eligible Candidate?
If you have the means and the desire, you might look at the following points and check whether or not you are a possible candidate for an eyebrow hair transplant.
● You over-tweeze your eyebrows
● You have genetically sparse eyebrows
● Ideally, you have never had micro-blading / tattoo (there might be the risk of scar tissue)
● You want a cosmetic change
● You suffer from trichotillomania
● You have lost hair due to physical trauma / surgical treatment
Consult a surgeon to understand whether you are eligible for hair transplants. For some people, micro-blading might be a more practical option.
