Facial Refinement

Eyebrow Restoration
Restore fuller, natural brows that frame your face.

Your eyebrows play a major role in how your face is perceived. They frame the eyes, balance the forehead, and contribute to your facial expression. Thinning brows can make the eyes look tired or unbalanced and can age the face. Eyebrow restoration rebuilds the brow using follicular units placed in a pattern that mimics natural growth. The goal is a soft, full brow that looks like your own hair, not like a transplant.

Benefits of Eyebrow Restoration

Natural Brow Pattern

Rather than simply increasing thickness, eyebrow restoration uses individual follicular units placed according to your natural hair direction, which produces a balanced and authentic look.

Permanent Growth

Unlike temporary cosmetic treatments that only thicken existing hairs, transplanted follicles grow new hair that lives for years. Once established, the hair behaves like your native brow hair.

Improved Facial Expression

uller brows can make the eyes look more open and alert. They can enhance expression and give your face a more balanced visual frame.

Confidence with Natural Results

Because the restoration is tailored to your anatomy and growth patterns, the result appears entirely natural and often boosts confidence in photos and daily life.

Expected Results

Eyebrow restoration results evolve over time. Initially, the transplanted hairs grow and may shed. New hairs then start to grow in their permanent locations. Over months, the brow thickens and the pattern matures into a natural appearance.

Immediate Pattern Outline

Right after the procedure, the brow pattern is visible. Grafts are placed with attention to direction and density to outline how the final result will mature.

Shedding Phase

Many newly placed hairs shed in the first few weeks. This is a normal part of the cycle before permanent growth begins.

New Hair Growth

Hairs usually begin to grow back around 3 to 4 months. Over the following months, the brow gains thickness and shape.

Technical Specifications

Technique and Planning

A successful eyebrow restoration depends on replicating natural hair direction and density. Each follicle must be placed precisely so growth integrates with your existing brow pattern.

01

Assessment of Hair Direction

Before surgery, the direction, thickness, and orientation of your existing brow hairs are carefully mapped. This ensures new grafts integrate seamlessly.

02

FUE Harvesting

Follicles are typically harvested using follicular unit extraction (FUE) from the scalp. These individual units contain 1 to 2 hairs that match the delicate pattern of brow growth.

03

Micro Recipient Sites

Tiny recipient sites are made at angles that match natural growth so the hairs emerge in the direction that mirrors your original brow pattern.

04

Density Planning

Dr. Neavin plans density not only at the front of the brow but throughout its length so the result looks consistent and natural, not concentrated in a single area.

Patient Profile

Candidates

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for eyebrow restoration typically have:

  • Noticeably thinning eyebrows
  • Genetic eyebrow sparseness
  • Loss of brow hair from overplucking, trauma, or aging
  • Desire for a natural look rather than cosmetic camouflage
  • Stable health and realistic expectations for surgical outcomes

Not Ideal Candidates

Eyebrow restoration may not be suitable if you:

  • Have insufficient donor hair for grafting
  • Are expecting an extremely dense brow beyond what your facial anatomy can support
  • Have uncontrolled medical conditions that affect healing
  • Are unable to protect your brows during early healing

During consultation, Dr. Neavin reviews your goals, examines donor strength, and plans a pattern that makes the eyebrow look proportionate and natural.

Brow Shape and Expression

01

Why Brow Restoration Matters

Brows influence your expression more than most people realize. A fuller brow can make your eyes appear more open, lift the look of your face, and balance facial proportions in a way that feels effortless and natural.

Surgery Day Journey

Consultation and Mapping

Your eyebrow shape and existing hair direction are mapped. Dr. Neavin sketches the ideal pattern that will guide graft placement.

Graft Harvesting

Follicles are harvested using FUE from a donor area that matches hair caliber. These follicles are prepared for placement.

Recipient Site Creation

Tiny recipient sites are made at specific angles to match natural brow hair growth. Each graft is placed to reproduce a balanced and believable pattern.
The Artisan Promise

Comprehensive
Aftercare Support

Proper aftercare supports graft survival and helps create the best possible density and pattern.

Brow Protection

During the early days of healing, avoid rubbing or touching the brow area. Protect from sunlight and heavy sweating.

Follow Up Care

Follow up visits allow Dr. Neavin to assess healing and answer questions. Minor adjustments in care can help refine the result.

Long Term Maintenance

Once the brows begin to grow, regular trimming and styling keep them looking balanced. Future sessions may be discussed if you want more density.

Healing Timeline

Every patient heals differently, but this timeline offers a general guide for your return to daily life.

Days 1 to 3

Mild swelling and redness around the brow are expected. Grafts are protected with gentle dressings. Patients can often return to light activity.

Days 4 to 7

Swelling improves and most people feel comfortable in social situations. Tiny scabs around grafts begin to fall off.

Weeks 2 to 4

Most of the transplanted hairs shed. This is part of the normal cycle before new growth begins.

Months 3 to 12

New hair begins to grow and gradually thickens. Density increases and brows mature into their final appearance.

Safety &
Potential Risks

Eyebrow restoration is considered safe when performed by an experienced surgeon. Careful technique and careful follow up help minimize complications.

Important Considerations

  • Mild swelling or redness
  • Temporary numbness in the donor area
  • Uneven initial growth in the first stages
  • Infection, which is uncommon and treatable
  • Need for touch up if density is not fully achieved

A thorough consultation ensures you understand the risks and benefits specific to your anatomy and goals.
