Eyebrow and eyelash reconstruction

Pages 94-99 | Published online: 09 Aug 2010
 

Abstract

Eyebrow and eyelash reconstruction surgery improves appearance and patient’s self-esteem and represents a new niche for the oculoplastic surgeon. Both eyebrow and eyelash reconstruction surgeries are easily accomplished at a well-equipped clinic. The author’s experience in reconstructing eyebrows and eyelashes using hair follicular unit transplantation is described, as well as etiology of eyebrows and eyelashes loss, initial consultation approach and preoperative planning. With this technique eyebrow and eyelash defects can be reconstructed, controlling position and shape and maintaining a natural aspect, which is superior to scalp hair strips, temporal artery island flaps and punch hair transplantation.
