RECOMMENDED TREATMENT
This patient started to lose his eyebrows hair since his childhood as a result of unfortunate family circumstances that provoked very severe stress periods. The loss continued until stabilizing during his adolescence.
Unfortunately, by time, the eyebrow hair hasn’t grown back. The patient has therefore found himself in the unpleasant situation visible in the pictures below until 36 years of age, when he gathered the courage to contact me to explain and attempt to correct his difficult situation.
We therefore decided to perform an FUE procedure of approximately 500 grafts (taking his scalp hair as donor area) with the aim of rebuilding the eyebrows original shape with a good density. The final grafts count states 510, exclusively single (+/- 250 for each eyebrow). The regrowth of transplanted grafts has been relatively fast and the patient is fully satisfied with the results obtained.
In general, the eyebrow transplant uses the same technique as for a classic hair transplant : we graft hair or, when it’s possible, body hair (coming from armpits or the pubis for example). It is mandatory to use exclusively single grafts (containing just one hair) in order to guarantee natural results. The incisions must be made in a very tangential way and the natural hair orientation must be necessarily respected.
SURGERY DETAILS
✓ 510 grafts
✓ Technique: FUE
✓ FUE scoring and extractions executed with my WAW system, now widely used in the sphere of FUE. It consists of a very precise pedal that enables to control the movement of the punch, that I also designed myself. The main advantage is to reduce substantially the number of damaged and transected hair, thus to raise the quality of the procedure. The system is now used worldwide and several dozens of surgeons or centres are already using it.
