Eyebrow Transplant
Eyebrow transplant is one of the most commonly asked for transplants next to scalp transplant.
Deficient eyebrows can be due to genetic reasons as some women have thin eyebrows from birth and are not satisfied with this. Eyebrow thinning can also occur due to excessive use of eyebrow pencils over the years. Sometimes the density and thickness of the eyebrows may be normal and the patient only wants a reshaping of the eyebrows, for example when it is felt that the eyebrows are too wide apart or too short.
Eyebrow reshaping of filling is a very successful procedure. The basic process is the same as in other hair transplants. The hair is taken from the back of the head and transplanted to the eyebrow region.
There are however some important steps in which special care is required in eyebrow transplant.
The drawing of the outline of the eyebrows is a very important step. Great care is required to ensure that the eyebrows maintain their symmetry. At the same time the eyebrows must be properly angled and at the required height. Women have slightly different eyebrows than men in that the eyebrows are at a higher level in women and are also more angled. The angulation of the eyebrows must also be aligned to the face, a rounder face will have rounder eyebrows while a more sharply angulated face will generally have more angled eyebrows. All this must be taken into account while drawing the outline.
The site for donor hair is also lower down for the eyebrows, and grafts are taken from just above the nape of the neck, as hairs here are softer and also single hair grafts which are required for the eyebrows.
The planting of the hairs must also correspond to the natural pattern, as eyebrow hairs have a unique pattern. The hairs are planted in a fish bone pattern. The angle and direction of each hair is slightly different and this must be maintained to give a natural look.
Scalp hairs transplanted into the eyebrows will continue to grow long throughout life. Hence the patient will have to trim her eyebrows every 2 weeks initially. But with time, and over two to three years, it is seen that growth gradually slows and trimming is not required frequently. The longer hairs are also useful because they can be used to shape the eyebrows according to choice.
After the procedure, swelling and some skin discoloration can remain visible for upto 10 days, hence patients may have to take leave from work for upto 10 days. The area can however be also covered with large sunglasses.
Eyebrow hair transplants would cost between Rs 15000 and Rs 25000 depending on how many grafts are required.
Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic takes several steps to ensure that quality is maintained for each and every patient. The key to quality maintenance is to implement quantizable quality standards and maintain proper documentation and review of processes. Downtown Hospital is an ISO 9001:2008 and NABH accredited hospital which demands strict adherence to quality control.Steps taken are:
Safety assurance: all procedures are done in the main OT of Downtown Hospital with its full complement of anesthesiologists and critical care specialists. Hence patients are assured of full safety standards at the same level as that of major surgeries including transplant surgeries.
Sterilization assurance: since procedures are done in the major OT full sterilization is maintained. Fumigation is done every week and swab tests are done to check for contamination.
Best instrumentation: Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic uses the best available instruments like 6X Heine Loupe for precision and accuracy, Blunt Titanium punches which avoids damage and transection of the Follicular Units, Choi implanters to standardise the process of planting and prevent damage during planting, Major OT level sterilization, fumigation and autoclaving of all instruments, etc.
Efficiency count: Efficiency counts for FUE like transection rates and speed of transplant are noted and documented for each case and reviewed every 10 cases. Arogyam Hair Transplant achieves international standards of transection and speed consistently.
Counting trays: Counting trays are used to contain the follicular units and all patients are given photographs on their mobiles which they can use to easily count the number of follicular units taken out so that they can be sure that they have received the correct number of FU's.
Dr. P. J. Mazumdar is the first and only American Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and all procedures are done following the ethical and technical guidelines of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery. As such, patients can be assured of receiving full professional care as per International standards approved by the ABHRS and ISHRS.
Correct recepient density: To ensure correct recepient density, 'density stamps' are used to ensure proper density is achieved. Angle and direction of hair is meticulously maintained.
Out of body time: The out of body time, the time for which the follicular unit is outside the body, is the most critical factor for success in hair transplant. Aroyam Hair Transplant follows a special procedure to ensure that this time is the minimum. This is done by doing only 1000 follicular units at a time and then replanting them. This ensures that time out of body is less than or equal to1 hour only. This is the shortest period acheivable. Many centers do upto 2000-2500 follicular units at a time so that time out of body goes upto 4-5 hours. We are proud of our time out of body quantum. Though this may cause some sacrifice of time but results are more important.
Follow up: follow up period is critical for the patient when there are many doubts and anxieties in his mind. In our clinic, Dr. P. J. Mazumdar will remain always accessible to the patient directly on his personal mobile for any questions the patient may have during this period.
