This 40 y/o male, who has never had eyebrow hairs, presented in 2005 for eyebrow hair restoration. We placed 165 1-hair grafts into each eyebrow at his first session, and another 145 into each eyebrow at a second session 2 years later in 2007. In January of 2009 he had an additional 115 placed in each side, and he now presents 9 months later. Photos are shown of his result after two procedures in January and also his most recent photos.
I like to use all 1-hair micrografts in doing eyebrow transplants, which allows me to use a very small 22g needle to make the recipient sites, and we leave the donorhairs long (around 1/2 inch long), so that we can see the bend that exists in almost all hairs, so that we can rotate the graft so the curve of the hair flows with the direction of the eyebrow itself.
