Eyebrows and Eyelashes
Eyebrows and eyelashes make an important contribution to facial symmetry and presentation of self to others. A person without eyebrows or eyelashes may feel very self-conscious about his/her appearance. Transplantation or reconstructive surgery can often restore eyebrows and eyelashes.
Eyebrows and eyelashes are lost in a variety of ways
Physical trauma: motor-vehicle accidents, thermal, chemical or electrical burns
Systemic or local disease that causes loss of eyebrow or eyelashes
Congenital inability to grow eyebrows or eyelashes
Plucking (to reshape the eyebrow) that results in permanent loss of eyebrows
Medical or surgical treatments that result in eyebrow or eyelash loss, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgical removal of tumor.
Eyebrow Hair Restoration
A number of procedures are available for restoration of all or part of the eyebrow:
Transplantation of micrografts or single hair from a donor area to the eyebrow, and a reconstructive flap or graft procedure that brings a strip of hair from another site to the eyebrow.
Eyelash Hair Restoration
Transplantation is the only procedure used to restore eyelash hair. This is a very specialized procedure that is performed by just a few surgeons. As is the case for eyebrows, donor hair for transplantation must be fine and not coarse. Itching is a common and troublesome postoperative complication. If the patient gives in to temptation and scratches, there is risk of dislodging the hair grafts and initiating infection. The dermatologist can prescribe medications to relieve itching
