EYEBROW RESTORATION in Rockford, IL

Stage 1

Designing Your Brows

Before we begin your procedure, we will design your brows. This is a thoughtful, collaborative process that blends your preferences with our surgeons' artistic eye to create eyebrows that are both beautiful and natural-looking.

Stage 2

The Procedure

The actual eyebrow restoration procedure is very straightforward and involves transplanting between 50 and 400 grafts per eyebrow. The number of grafts will depend on whether you’re having a touch-up, or a partial or full restoration. To begin, we will administer oral sedation.

From there, we will remove donor hairs from the back of your head and transplant them one at a time to the brow area. We will continue this process until we have achieved your desired brow shape and density. Once the procedure is complete, some discomfort in the donor area and mild brow redness that persists for about five days is normal. Very rarely, patients may experience significant bruising and swelling.

Stage 3

The Growth Phase

Your transplanted hairs will begin to fall out about two to three weeks after the eyebrow restoration and you should notice significant regrowth at around four months. Your brows will slowly increase in density over the next six months as the transplanted hair continues to grow.

In most cases, full hair growth will occur about 12 to 18 months after the procedure. Once the hair has grown in, the results of your Rockford eyebrow restoration at Pryor Health should endure indefinitely.
