Greetings,

Here are the results of an eyebrow transplant I performed recently. The patient is 6 months post procedure but there is already a dramatic difference in the before and after photos.

The patient had severe genetically weak eyebrows and had them tattooed multiple times before she discovered the option of eyebrow transplants.

She received just over 350 single hair grafts per eyebrow in a single session. Her “after” photo was emailed to me as she lives across the country.

She is absolutely thrilled with her results and states that the procedure has been “life changing”.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Greetings,

This is a very interesting patient of mine. This patient, whom both he and his wife happen to both be physicians, presented to me complaining of hair loss in the frontal scalp, sideburns, and eyebrows over a number of years. The patient denied any other medical conditions.

On examination I determined that the patient most likely had a form of scarring alopecia and referred the patient to a local dermatologist for confirmation. A biopsy confirmed Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia and the pathology revealed that the disease appeared inactive.

After discussion with the patient and the treating Dermatologist we agreed that I would transplant a small number of test grafts in different areas of hair loss and we would see how they grew before proceeding with a larger procedure.

The test grafts grew well and the patient returned requesting a much larger procedure to create cosmetic density in the frontal scalp, sideburns, and eyebrows.

I explained to the patient that even if we were successful with the transplant procedure, there was always the possibility that the disease could recur in the future and possibly destroy the transplanted grafts. The patient understood and wished to proceed with the procedure.

The patient received 2521 grafts via FUT to the frontal scalp, mid scalp, and sideburns, and approximately 250 grafts per eyebrow. Care was taken not to pack the grafts too densely because of possible vascular compromise of the tissue to be transplanted secondary to the scarring alopecia process.

The results are shown after 1 year.

The patient is absolutely thrilled with his results and is now requesting a second procedure to increase the density.

I hope to provide updates in the future.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Greetings,

Today I received the kindest email from a well renown hair restoration surgeon regarding my eyebrow transplant results.

I will post it below.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Dr. Dauer,
I have been doing hair transplants for 11 years. And yeah, I’m a Diplomate of the American Board of Neurological Surgery and the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and I’m a “FISHRS,” but the truth is that I’ve not done (or seen, for that matter) more than a couple of eyebrows I’ve been happy with. I stumbled across your website in search of what a good eyebrow transplant could look like……and I was totally blown away. Your work is, hands down, the best I’ve ever seen. And the lack of swelling or bruising in the early post-op period is remarkable. What really impressed me is that, unlike some other surgeons who show the one or two good results they’ve had, you seem to have an endless number of outstanding Before & After photos.
I was going to just go on with my day after leaving your website, but I couldn’t do so without complimenting you and your team on having set the bar for eyebrow restoration. Some day, perhaps I’ll ask if I could come for a visit and learn some of your tricks.

Greetings,

Here is a male patient on whom I performed an FUE eyebrow transplant procedure.

The patient describes the experience undergoing the procedure, and photos are shown before and 1 week after the procedure.

I hope you enjoy watching.

Greetings,

Here is another patient that presented to me after undergoing an eyebrow transplant in Canada by a hair transplant surgeon who has been performing hair transplants for many years but has not performed many eyebrow transplant procedures. Her results showed very sparse density of hairs and unsightly 2 haired follicles present in the eyebrow. The patient was very dissatisfied and presented for a corrective eyebrow transplant. I placed just under 400 single hair follicles per eyebrow and the results are shown immediately post procedure. The patient should have significant density with a completely natural result after 7-9 months.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

Greetings,

I recently saw a patient in consultation that had an eyebrow transplant procedure performed in the office of a very well known physician. The issue is that the physician did not perform the procedure. In fact, the physician is not trained in hair transplantation at all and does not even perform hair transplant or eyebrow transplant procedures himself. What he did was have a medical assistant perform the entire procedure, from beginning to end, and the physician did not perform any aspect of it. The medical assistant performed the harvest using the neograft automated FUE machine and then created the recipient sites and placed the grafts. The patient ended up having 2 procedures like this.

The entire procedure was an epic failure. Only about 20 hairs grew from both procedures on each eyebrow and the hairs that grew were growing straight out from the skin in unsightly directions. The donor area in the back of the head was also significantly scarred from the attempted extraction of many hundreds of hair follicles.

In addition, the patient also had an eyebrow tattoo performed in the same physicians office prior to the 2 eyebrow transplants which created even more scarring in the eyebrow.

To have a medical assistant perform the entire hair or eyebrow transplant procedure is not only unethical, it is against the law in many states including California.  Unfortunately this represent a growing trend in the field of hair and eyebrow transplantation. More and more companies are pitching “automated” devices to harvest hair follicles and selling physicians who have no experience in the field with a new device to increase their revenue growth. Their pitch is that you don’t need to know anything about hair and eyebrow transplants, just buy the machine and the company will supply per diems technicians to do the rest. This is the result of that.

I performed an eyebrow transplant procedure on the patient and placed approximately 300 follicles per eyebrow. The results are shown a week after the procedure. In a few months I will updated with follow up photos. Because of all the scarring from the previous eyebrow tattoo and botched eyebrow transplants, the patient will have less growth yield than someone with healthy tissue. She should still have an excellent result and I already told her she should expect to have a second procedure in 9-12 months to increase the density.

This should be a lesson to anyone considering hair or eyebrow transplants. Make sure you go to a physician who specializes EXCLUSIVELY in hair transplants or if you are going to have an eyebrow transplant someone who does many of these procedures, and that they have dozens if not hundreds of results to show you. Just because the physician is skilled in another field does not make them an excellent hair or eyebrow transplant surgeon.

All the best,

Marc Dauer, M.D.

This is a male patient who cuts his hair very short and wanted more density in the outer half of his eyebrows. I harvested the donor follicles from the scalp using FUE so that the patient would not have a strip scar and the results are shown after 8 months.

Respectfully,

Here is a link to a piece that aired today on Good Morning America featuring Eyebrow Transplants, that had me discussing the procedure, and 2 of my patients discussing their experiences undergoing the procedure.

Greetings,

Here is a male patient of mine who received just over 300 grafts per eyebrow to increase the density of the outer eyebrows on both sides. The hairs were harvested from the scalp via FUE. The results are shown after 6 months. The patient should see a bit more growth over the next few months but the results are already very visible. FUE harvest is a good option for men that like to cut their hair very short and don’t want any linear scar from the strip harvest procedure.

All the best,
