Historically, if a person didn’t like the looks of their face they went to a cosmetic surgeon for a nose job or a chin job. But the funny thing was, they still wouldn’t be happy. Come to find out, when people look at another person’s face they don’t really focus on the nose or the chin. Instead, the eyes are much more important to others. This is thought to be a result of evolution and our ancestors need to live harmoniously in small groups. They needed to know what others were thinking and the best way to do that was by concentrating on the expressive eyes. Did you know we are the only animals who have whites of the eye showing? It is thought this is so we can tell what others are viewing which can be an important insight when in a social setting.
It has been said that the eyes are the window to our souls, and this means the eyebrows must be the window dressing. Just like you want good curtains to accent your windows you want eyebrows that are the most appealing to accent your eyes. Before, the only option for eyebrow manipulation was to color them somehow, but now eyebrow hair implants are becoming very popular as a way to augment how a person looks. This procedure was originally developed in Japan in the 1930’s and it has now been perfected to the point that a hair restoration surgeon can give the patient any look they desire.
When a person gets eyebrow hair transplants the hair and its follicles are usually removed from the posterior section of the scalp. This area usually has very good hair growth and removing a few hairs has absolutely no noticeable effect. These follicles are then cleaned and prepared and then the surgeon implants them into the brow area. He or she will be very careful to match the directional growth of the existing hairs in order to give a completely natural looking result.
After a few days of puffiness around the eyes there will be no noticeable negative factors from the surgery. Instead, over the next few weeks the new follicles will bond with the surrounding nutritional supply and begin the growing process. This may take a while as the stress of implantation wears off but the patient can be assured they will have the eyebrow shape they desire.
