Eyebrow restoration: when and how

The eyebrows are one of the most important features of the face. They not only make facial expression possible, they also give balance and harmony to the features. Over the years, wax and tweezers take their toll on the appearance of natural eyebrows, which can become uneven or develop gaps. When you are told that plucking your eyebrows can cause them to be lost, that is partly true: it does not happen immediately after a hair is removed, but when the act is repeated regularly over a lifetime, eyebrow hairs tend not to grow back in the plucked areas.

Eyebrow restoration offers a natural and lasting solution for thickening the eyebrows. As a practitioner qualified in the treatment of baldness, Dr Seffen has a thorough command of eyebrow restoration, and can offer patients a treatment of choice for the eyebrows.

Eyebrow restoration: when and how

What is an eyebrow transplant?

The hairs that make up the eyebrows are different from those of the body. With age, moreover, the thickness and the arch of the eyebrows can change. Thinning eyebrows are a very common concern among older women, caused by:

• Years and years of plucking
• Damaged follicles
• The natural ageing process

An eyebrow transplant in Tunisia is a procedure offered by Dr Seffen that restores the original appearance of thinned eyebrows, so that they regain balance and harmony.

How is an eyebrow transplant performed?

To prepare for the procedure, the patient and the practitioner work together to determine the shape and the arch of the eyebrows that will best balance the structure of the face. Eyebrow restoration is carried out by harvesting follicles from another part of the body and transplanting them into the eyebrows. These follicles are usually taken from the area directly behind the ears, both so that no trace of the procedure is visible and so as to match the characteristics of eyebrow hair as closely as possible. The hairs are implanted with precision in their new position, at an angle identical to that of the other eyebrow hairs, to give the eyebrows their shape back.

What to expect during the procedure

The eyebrow transplant is carried out under local anaesthetic. The follicles are first harvested from the donor area, then implanted into the eyebrows so as to thicken eyebrows that have thinned, or to fill in gaps, with a perfectly natural look. Because of the precision required to place the grafts, the procedure can run over several hours.
