Why Do Eyebrows Thin and Shed?
Aging: As you get older, hormones change and consequently, hair losses and eyebrow hair losses may occur as a side effect.
Nutrient Deficiency: Improper diet can cause hair loss in your eyebrows.
Hypothyroidism: The thyroid gland may not produce the necessary hormones. It may stimulate the structures that produce hormones in the thyroid gland ensuring that it is produced more and transferred into the blood.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs are produced to defeat cancer cells, but unfortunately they can also attack the hair follicles causing hair loss.
The healing time in eyebrow transplantation is very short. 48 hours after the operation, the eyebrow area can be washed. Complete healing of scabs and clots may last for 5 days. At the end of between 5 and 15 days, the temporary hair losses fully stops. We call this stage post-transplantation shock hair loss. It is not a cause for concern. Follicles that are temporarily shed grow back in 4 to 6 months and appear natural.
The complications that will occur after eyebrow transplantation almost do not exit. The most common complication is a swelling in the area where local anesthesia is administered for a short period of time. The swelling can be removed by applying ice.
The only disadvantage of eyebrow transplantation is that the eyebrows have to be cut always with a scissors. Since they are implanted using hair follicles, hair follicles grow faster than eyebrow hairs. It is important to choose an experienced clinic and specialist to make sure you get a good result in eyebrow transplantation.
I
n the first stage, the patient is met by the patient consultant and interviewed by the specialist doctor. The form is filled out, the patient’s health problems, hair loss history, habits, alcohol and smoking use are questioned. Front line is drawn and the areas where the implant will be carried out are determined. Blood test is done and hair is shaved as shorter than 1 mm. It includes the procedures such as numbing the area where the hair follicles will be removed by using painless local anesthesia.
This stage involves the removal of hair follicles from the designated donor area. Hair follicles are removed with 0.7 or 0.8 mm punch tips with the help of a micro-motor and thus hair follicle removal process is carried out. Only the related stem cell is removed without damaging any other tissue. 1 hair follicle produces an average of 2.5 to 3 hair follicles. With this method, 55-60 (or more) hair implantation per square centimeter is possible. The hair follicles are collected and kept in a special solution.
This stage, that is, opening the channels, is the most important process of hair implant. After the local anesthesia process is completed, channel opening process is performed by the Specialist doctor only by using the sharp, thin end that we call the Lateral Slit based on the thickness and depth of the hair follicles. If the channels opened have the appropriate angles and directions, a natural appearance is achieved in the hair transplantation. Otherwise, this natural appearance cannot be achieved.
This is the stage of implanting individual hair follicles by hair implantation specialists into the channels that are opened by the Specialist doctor. Patience is very important during this process. During this process, television or music is switched on in the operation room to provide comfort for the patient. After the implant procedure is completed, the Specialist doctor provides the final checks and the area where the hair follicles are removed is bandaged. This bandage is removed the next day.
There is no need to stay in hospital after eyebrow transplantation. You will be discharged on the same day after eyebrow transplantation.
The answer of the question on whether it is noticeable that I have undergone eyebrow transplantation is that the person who saw it 1 month after eyebrow transplantation will not notice in any way that you have undergone eyebrow transplantation.
The best time for Eye transplantation is the time when the patient feels psychologically and financially suitable and ready. In fact, in which season Eyebrow transplantation operation is performed is technically not so much important. Eyebrow transplantation is not preferred by most people as it is likely to be exposed to the sun in the summer.
After the operation, our patients are not advised to travel alone or drive. We provide the medicines, special shampoo and lotion, vitamins, special silicone neck pillow, special hat, warranty certificate and post-operation booklet that will be used after the operation.
If you are smoking and using any other tobacco products, we advise you not to smoke/use for 1 week after the operation. This is because smoking reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. If you are not going to quit smoking, we recommend you to reduce the amount between 2 and 4 cigarettes per day. Otherwise the hair follicles may not hold on tight.
You cannot do fitness and heavy sports for 1 month after the operation. We recommend that you do not engage in sports activities exposing to impact, such as football or basketball, for 3 months.
After eyebrow transplantation, we give a warranty certificate. We give a lifetime guarantee for the hairs we implant.
In the process of eyebrow and hair transplantation, the hairs in the nape area are usually used as a donor due to their durable structure. Since the hairs taken from this area is taken with their follicles it is not possible for them to grow back. If your existing hairs is not cut too short after eyebrow and hair transplantation, they will camouflage the areas where the follicles are taken and thus, these areas will not stand out.
