Why Do People Get An Eyebrow Transplant?
Tired of having thin looking eyebrows? Tired of seeing false advertising heralding claims of raised eyebrows utilizing permanent tattoos? Tired of false advertising claiming that tattooed eyebrows look natural? Then, you are a candidate for eyebrow transplants.
Thinning Eyebrows
Some patients are born with thinning eyebrows. Some patients lose eyebrow hair with time. Some patients have physical limitations that do not allow them to put eyebrow pencil on to camouflage thinning eyebrows. While micropigmentation procedures are an alternative to real hair, a tattoo is still a tattoo. Permanent make-up procedures, while they have their benefits, are also not without risk and complications. Across the country, there are some excellent permanent make-up artists. As with any profession, there are also several that give this profession a bad name.
It is possible to utilize your own hair from your own scalp to transplant your own natural permanent hair onto your eyebrows during an eyebrow transplant. The eyebrow shape and position can be determined with the surgeon and then have your own permanent hair transplanted into this area. Each eyebrow restoration session can increase the density of the eyebrows, as you would want this done.
About the Eyebrow Restoration Procedure
An eyebrow transplant is performed under a twilight anesthetic and is performed on an outpatient basis. A fine strip of donor hair is harvested from the back of the head and then the donor area is sewn together in a fine line. A special diamond laser scalpel is utilized to make very fine incisions into the recipient area around the eyebrows. An innovative tool now cuts the donor strip into single fine hairs ready for transplantation. The surgeon then places these into the recipient slips. A fine bandage is then placed over the eyebrows, and patients are able to return home after the procedure. The bandage is removed the next day and the area cleansed. Typically, patients require 2-4 days off of work to undergo the eyebrow restoration procedure. A minimal amount of bruising and swelling is also involved. Over the course of the next 3-6 months, the hair that was transplanted starts to grow. Patients can undergo as many eyebrow transplants as they like to get the density of eyebrow hair that they desire.
An eyebrow transplant is the only permanent natural way to replace your own eyebrow hair.

What is Follicular Unit Facial Hair Transplantation?
Follicular Unit Facial Hair Transplantation is an exciting process that involves harvesting scalp hair and implanting it areas of the face that are thinner and sparse. Follicles are harvested from the back of the scalp and re-implanted in areas of the face where hair may require greater density. Dr. Chernoff specializes in Follicular Unit Hair Transplant with thousands of successful procedures performed.
How well does the new hair grow in?
The newly implanted hair will grow similar to that of normal facial hair. As the hair grows in, it can be groomed and maintained like the native facial hair. Dr. Chernoff uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) to enhance the newly ingrained facial hair after surgery. Once this hair has been transplanted, it becomes difficult to tell apart from the original. This transplant has permanent results, leaving you with fuller, denser facial hair.
What is the Follicular Unit Facial Hair Transplant procedure like?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with an oral sedative. Depending on the patient’s skin, the procedure can take between 2 to 5 hours. Patients will need a day following the surgery for recovery, but the patients may be able to resume most activities the second day. Transplanted hairs are expected to fall out around 4 weeks following the day of the surgery, but will regrow around 3-4 months.
