While we don't usually think of eyebrows and lashes as vital
parts of the face, missing or thinning eyebrows take away from its expressiveness.
Structures as unique as your eyebrows or eyelashes can be surgically replaced using modern surgical techniques. Today's understanding of hair growth and re-growth allows for the procedure to be performed on a regular basis. It is fine work, with hairs being transplanted individually or in pairs, using needles less than 2mm in diameter. Eyebrow and even more delicate eyelash transplants can transform a face that has lost brows or lashes due to illness or injury.
Eyebrow transplants are most often needed when eyebrows have been eradicated from the effects of fire or injury or repeated plucking. Tattoos and body piercings have also contributed to the loss of eyebrows because of scarring or infection.. Hypothyroidism can cause the eyebrows to disappear, and people with congenital hair loss may also lose their eyebrows.
Eyelashes define the eyes and add to the attractiveness of the face. When you blink or close your eyes, your eyelashes should form a beautiful crescent that rests on the lower lid.
Eyelash transplants grow faster than hair that is transplanted on other parts of the body. The procedure is performed using a donor strip from a sideburn or another available area. Like other hair moved from the head to the face, eyelashes will grow much longer than normally. They will need to be trimmed once or twice a month, and to train them upwards, we recommend an eyelash curler.
Dr. Prasad routinely performs these procedures for patients. If a medical reason exists for the eyebrow or eyelash hair loss,that is determined and treated accordingly.
