EYEBROW AND EYELASH HAIR RESTORATION SURGERY
 As with scalp hair restoration, eyebrow
restoration at Jernigan's is also done by
Dr. Grant Koher. He feels that most people
underestimate the importance of eyebrows in
framing the face, drawing attention to the
eyes, and communicating through facial
expressions. Eyebrows make an important
contribution to facial symmetry and our
general appearance. Have you ever seen a
person that looked odd but you could not
immediately determine what gave you that
feeling? Most people totally ignore eyebrows
on themselves and other people until they
are missing. A person without eyebrows may
feel very self-conscious about his/her
appearance. Hair transplantation surgery in
this area will restore eyebrows.
The problem with other eyebrow replacement
techniques is esthetics. Eyebrow pencils and
tattooing cannot duplicate the texture of
real hair. These replacement methods may
look good from a distance, but close up they
do not look realistic.
Eyebrows can be lost in a variety of ways:
-
Physical trauma—e.g., auto accident,
thermal, chemical or electrical burns
-
Systemic or local diseases that causes loss
of eyebrows, e.g. various forms of alopecia
-
Congenital inability to grow eyebrows and/or
eyelashes
-
Plucking (to reshape the eyebrow) that
results in permanent loss of eyebrows
-
Self-inflicted obsessive plucking of
eyebrows and/or eyelashes (trichotillomania)
-
Medical or surgical treatments that result
in eyebrow or eyelash loss—e.g., tradition
therapy, chemotherapy, surgical removal of
tumors.
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Genetics
Eyebrow Hair Restoration
 Dr. Koher determines the cause of eyebrow
loss in a medical history and examination
prior to consideration of hair restoration:
-
Systemic or local disease that causes hair
loss must be under control to assure that
hair restoration can succeed
-
Obsessive-compulsive plucking (trichotillomania)
must be treated to assure that restored hair
will not be plucked out
-
Trauma, burns or surgery may have resulted
in formation of scar tissue; reconstructive
surgery may be necessary before eyebrow
restoration. The degree of eyebrow loss may
vary from complete to partial; the degree of
loss may be a consideration in selection of
the restoration procedure.
Some patients have no eyebrow loss, but
consider eyebrow enhancement for cosmetic
reasons. They may have little or no eyebrows
due to genetics or ethnic characteristics.
It may have been a lifelong problem. Dr.
Koher restores an equal number of eyebrows
for males and females. It is not a gender
specific problem. Eyebrow restoration is an
outpatient procedure that usually takes
about three hours. Complications are limited
to swelling and minor pain. Restoring
eyebrows is easily done as part of scalp
hair restoration, and Dr. Koher often does
both in one day.
 The eyebrows should be recreated in
accordance with the natural contour of the
eye socket. Dr. Koher works with the patient
to outline the eyebrow area to conform to
the natural symmetry of the patient’s face.
Depending on the size of the area to be
transplanted, more than one transplant
session may be required; two or more
sessions several months apart are common.
Donor hair for the transplant is taken from
a site that furnishes finer rather than
coarser hair because finer hair is a better
match for eyebrow hair. Donor hair is
transplanted as micrografts of one to two
hairs. Each graft is placed into an incision
prepared for it with great detail to
position and angle. The use of single hairs
or micrografts permits meticulous adherence
to the eyebrow contour for a natural
appearance. As the transplanted hairs grow
in their new position they may require
occasional trimming as well as "training"
with gel or wax.
During a free consultation with Dr. Koher he
will assess your situation and show you
before and after pictures of clients with
restored eyebrows.
