WHAT IS A HAIR TRANSPLANT?

WHAT IS AN EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION

A hair transplant is a surgery that permanently restores hair by removing

a narrow strip of hair-bearing scalp. The strip is taken from a part of your

scalp that contains dense hair growth and is then used to fill in a section

with thin or no hair.

The same cutting edge techniques used by our surgical team at ICCM

in hair transplantation surgery are used for eyebrow transplants. A fuller

appearance to re-establishing lost, over plucked or non-existent eyebrows

is now possible.

WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?

After application of a local anaesthetic

to the donor site, the lifelong hair bearing

follicles will be individually removed and

prepared for transplantation. Once all

of these “grafts” are ready for transplant,

anaesthetic will be administered to the

recipient site, the area will be prepared

and then the grafts will be planted. They

are very skilfully transplanted at an angle

that mimics the natural, pre-hair-loss

hairline. The entire procedure can take

anywhere from five to eight hours.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER THE PROCEDURE?

After undergoing hair transplant surgery,

you can expect to remain sensitive for

the first two to five days after surgery, with

pain relief medication recommended to

suppress the pain. You will also be able to

return to your daily routines and activities

between two to five days after surgery.

Patients can expect the transplanted

hair to fall out over the span of two to

three weeks, before new hair growth

commences within a few months post

treatment. New hair growth typically

occurs after 3-4 months post surgery.

The risks associated with the hair

transplantation procedure may include

bleeding and infection, unnatural-

looking new hair growth, scarring and

inflammation of the hair follicles.

You should always weigh up the potential

risks and advantages of any surgery with

your doctor prior to going ahead with

the surgery.

The hair transplant/eyebrow transplant is

a walk in, walk out procedure. Generally,

stitches are removed after 10 days, as

scabbing lasts up to 12 days.
