Question:
Hi, I already asked this question before, but since I had some trouble with my e-mail account, I want to ask you again:
I had my eyebrows tatooed about 4 years ago, and now they are fading away, and I would like to know about a transplant.
Approximate cost, recovery time, procedure, and as it is head hair, does it grow in eyebrows?
Please send me as much information as you can, because I am considering seriously the eyebrow transplant.
Answer:
It is a pleasure to reply to your questions.
This is a procedure I, as well as many of the other Foundation for Hair Restoration doctors, perform several times a week, with typically quite impressive results after just a single procedure of 200 to as many as 375 hairs per eyebrow. Having had a permanent tattoo to the area presents no problems. The fee for such a procedure will depend upon the number of hairs transplanted. Once performed, all the crusts fall off after 4-5 days or so, with most of my patients flying back home as soon as the first day after their procedure.
