Eyebrow Transplant
Eyebrow Transplant
Eyebrow transplantation refers to an eyebrow reconstruction surgery method in which hair follicles similar in thickness and properties to the eyebrows are selected among the hair in the back of the head and transplanted into the eyebrow area using the principle of hair transplantation.
Eyebrow transplantation is also used as a therapeutic means to thicken the congenitally thin eyebrows or to repair eyebrow defects (scars). Since it is your own hair, there is almost no objection, and if you are treated by an experienced medical team, the engraftment rate is high, and you can design the color, thickness, and direction in a natural and detailed way, and it is economical because you can feel the semi-permanent effect.
Surgery information
surgery target
Those who have suffered from beauty or reconstruction such as thin or spread eyebrows, eyebrows lost due to scars, etc.
Required parameters
Average about 100-400 hairs on both sides
(can be added or subtracted if necessary)
surgery time
About 4-6 hours
recovery period
3-4 days (based on swelling)
Collection method
incision, non-incision
1) incision
surgery time is short
Only those with sufficient scalp elasticity for suturing
Only a thin solid line remains after the incision is sutured.
Maintaining the hair density within the unit area of the occipital region after surgery
Stitch removal on the 10th day
2) Non-incision
Surgery time is relatively long
Not affected by scalp elasticity
A white dotted scar is formed on the back of the head, which fades over time and cannot be seen unless you look for it.
Punch diameter is small, so there is not much tee, but the density of hair in the unit is slightly reduced
cost more than incision

Check for disease
1) Diagnosis of hair loss
If you are experiencing a hair loss disease, it is recommended that you do hair loss treatment first before transplanting.
Hair loss diseases such as alopecia areata or seborrheic dermatitis will eventually recur if the abnormal immune response is not restored or the inflammatory problem is resolved, making it difficult to engraft hair follicles. In this case, in principle, treatment takes precedence over hair transplantation.
2) Scalp Diagnosis
You need to accurately judge your scalp elasticity, hair density, hair type, etc.
3) blood test
Basic disease and physical condition must be checked. (Check whether surgery is possible due to diseases including liver, kidney, thyroid, cholesterol, anemia, etc.) It is also a necessary test to check whether there is any difficulty in prescribing antibiotics and hair loss drugs after surgery.
The 3 most important factors in eyebrow transplantation
1) Precise design
First, it is important to design an optimal implant design by comprehensively considering the face shape, implant purpose, and the location of features. It is the same with scalp hair transplantation, but since the eyebrows occupy so little area, even a 1mm difference can cause a big impression change, so a sophisticated hair transplant according to a custom design will be essential.
2) motherfish
Since the eyebrows are seen directly from the front much more clearly than the hairline or crown transplantation, each hair of each part is important. The eyebrows should flow in a certain direction, but if the eyebrows are tangled in a grid pattern, grow forward and look like a toothbrush, or the eyebrows go up and down in different directions, these can make eyebrows more messy than before planting. To prevent that from happening, you need to plant thoroughly calculated eyebrows.
3) engraftment
In the case of hairline or parietal transplantation, a small amount of space is not noticeable, but the eyebrows are not covered and are a part of the eye that attracts attention during conversation. Therefore, it is important to manage inflammation before and after surgery to increase the engraftment rate, and by minimizing the damage to the hair follicles through non-swollen hair transplantation, the engraftment rate is maximized to create natural eyebrows.
design
The design that the doctor decides is important (※ the opinion of a doctor with long experience is important too)
Consider the curl of each hair
Eyebrow angle and hair variety
Transplantation of only a single hair into a single hair follicle
1) Consider the curl of each hair
As you can see when you look in the mirror, no one has eyebrows that grow forward. They all grow sideways. For this reason, it must be planted very thinly, as if it were being dug. And as you can see if you pull out one hair and look closely, even people who think they have straight hair do not have straight hair. There is no perfect straight hair, but little by little it has a certain amount of curl. When transplanting, it is important to consider the direction of the curl one by one and plant it. If you don't consider curls or fail to judge the direction, your eyebrows will rise as a result. It is very important to adjust the vertical and horizontal angle so that the curl always touches the skin, so that the eyebrows flow naturally like water.
2) Eyebrow angle and hair variety
Eyebrows can be basically divided into eyebrow head - eyebrow mount - eyebrow tail, and the direction is different according to the flow of eyebrows in each part. Since there is a lot of change in hairs per person compared to a small area, transplantation should be done with this in mind.
3) For eyebrows, only single hair is transplanted into one hair follicle.
Since the transplant range is narrow and the hair thickness and transplant site characteristics are different from those of the scalp, a more delicate transplantation process is required. And because of the characteristics of the eyebrows, it grows as a single hair, so it is a precision corrective surgery that requires more careful selection of hair follicles.
Limitations of eyebrow transplantation
When transplanting to an old scar
Conventional eyebrow tattoo outline
somewhat clear
1) When transplanting to an old scar
Except for cases where the eyebrows are congenitally thin or shallow, most of the cases of eyebrow defects are due to trauma or surgery. Unlike normal skin tissue, the skin tissue in the scar area is thick and hard. Although the size of the scar will vary depending on the condition, such skin is not a favorable environment for hair follicles to grow. If necessary, it can be filled through two transplants.
2) If the outline of the existing eyebrow tattoo is somewhat clear
As there was a semi-permanent craze for eyebrows with relatively good accessibility for eyebrow correction, many people received the procedure, but as pigment particles engraved on the eyebrows settle down, repeated processes such as retouching or laser tattoo removal may damage the eyebrow skin tissue. Above all, the previously designed eyebrow contour remains due to pigmentation. In order to minimize discomfort during eyebrow transplantation, it is transplanted without departing from the contour.
safe surgery
There are several points to check in order to have a safer operation.
Is the doctor in charge directing the operation?
Surrogate surgery problem
About anesthesia
Whether propofol is used
Is it safe to harvest?
Do you follow safety precautions for incision and non-incision?
Do you have transplant know-how?
Less pain and swelling after surgery
1) Is the surgery performed by the surgeon himself?
Whether a ghost doctor or nurse's surrogate surgery is an issue these days
2) Matters about anesthesia
You need to know whether propofol is being used or not. Propofol is derived from soybeans, so people with soybean allergies are at risk of breathing problems
3) Is it safe to collect?
The incision method accurately identifies the softness of the scalp and the required parameters, and determines the length and width so that no scars are left and there is no wastage of hair.
In the non-incision method, if a punch with a diameter that is too thin or too large is selected, the engraftment rate may decrease or a large spot scar may occur after surgery.
4) Is there any transplant know-how?
It is important how little pain and postoperative swelling is during surgery. If the swelling is severe, it may not only interfere with daily life (such as commuting to work), but also reduce the engraftment rate.
Guarantee of hospital responsibility
Even after the surgery is over, you need to check whether you are responsible for the results of the surgery.
1) Is there free augmentation surgery?
After the surgery, when the time for engraftment and growth has elapsed, it is necessary to find out whether reinforcement surgery is provided for free of charge in the area with a low engraftment rate.
Accurate hair loss diagnosis
Based on the experience of performing hair loss treatment and hair transplantation for over 10 years, we have researched only hair.
honest care
Hair transplantation is not recommended for patients who prioritize hair loss treatment.
We suggest the appropriate collection method and number of hairs in consideration of the patient's scalp condition, elasticity, and hair density.
If you have a physical condition or unstable condition by conducting a preliminary examination such as a blood test, we suggest that you do not proceed with the operation or postpone the schedule.
In other cases, if the need for surgery is low or it is difficult to see the effect, the patient is persuaded and returned.
safe surgery
At Mori Clinic, 100% of all procedures, including anesthesia, transplantation, design, hairline transplantation, and post-transplant swelling care, are performed by Dr. Sang-wook Lee.
1) All in One system
From anesthesia, transplant design, hairline transplantation, and post-transplant swelling care, all procedures are performed 100% by Dr. Sang-wook Lee.
2) Safe anesthesia system
The operation is safely performed under local anesthesia without using propofol, which may be dangerous, and using safe drugs such as midazolam under semi-sleep anesthesia while maintaining the patient's consciousness.
Semi-sleep anesthesia: Local anesthesia is performed in a semi-conscious state, that is, in a state of being able to talk, so that the patient is pain-free and fearless. All procedures are as comfortable and pain-free as possible so that patients can relieve the burden of surgery.
The patient's blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation are monitored in real time throughout the operation.

1) No shave
In the case of incisional transplantation, both the occipital region and the recipient region are not shaved, and the patient's satisfaction is high as there is no scarring after transplantation.
2) No pain
Because the operation is performed through a dual action of partial sleep + local anesthesia, there is almost no pain.
3) No swelling
Mori Clinic provides relief from swelling before and after surgery and improvement of engraftment rate through 3 methods (PRR, DNA, and stem cells).
4) No propofol
Propofol is soybean. In other words, it is extracted from soybeans, so if a large amount of propofol enters blood vessels in people with soybean allergy, it can be dangerous due to respiratory difficulties, so Moriwon does not use propofol.
5) No scars
Because the edges are well aligned and sutured to avoid inflammation, it leaves almost no scars unless the skin quality is good.
Follow the principles of the collection guidelines
incision
Adhere to a range that does not overdo it with an average width of around 1.5cm per operation
non-incision
Maintains punch size and angle to minimize non-incision scars
Hair transplant responsible for the end
In order to increase satisfaction with hair transplantation, Mori Clinic guarantees free augmentation surgery for any part where the engraftment rate feels insufficient after one year of surgery.
