How long can eyebrow transplant last

The effect of eyebrow transplantation can generally be maintained for 5-10 years, depending on factors such as hair follicle survival rate, postoperative care, and individual differences.

Eyebrow transplant surgery involves transplanting healthy hair follicles from the occipital region to the eyebrow area. Due to the natural anti shedding properties of the occipital hair follicles, most of them can survive for a long time after transplantation. 1-3 months after surgery is the period of hair follicle adaptation, and transplanted hair may temporarily fall off. After 3-6 months, newly formed eyebrows gradually stabilize and grow. Under standardized operation, 60% -80% of transplanted hair follicles can successfully survive and maintain their natural growth cycle. With proper daily pruning and care, eyebrow shape can be maintained for more than 5 years. Due to strong hair follicle activity or slow metabolism, the effect can even last up to 10 years in some populations. The core factors that affect maintenance time include hair follicle extraction techniques during surgery, transplant density design, and whether postoperative anti-inflammatory care is in place. Avoiding frequent rubbing of the eyebrow area, reducing direct UV radiation, and maintaining a regular sleep routine after surgery can help prolong the effect. If complications such as folliculitis are not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to local hair follicle necrosis and shorten the maintenance time.

It is recommended to regularly check the status of hair follicles after surgery and avoid using eyebrow cosmetics containing irritating ingredients. Daily supplementation with foods rich in protein and B vitamins, such as eggs, lean meat, whole grains, etc., can help provide nutrition for hair follicles. If sparse and obvious shedding of eyebrows is found, it is necessary to contact a doctor in a timely manner to evaluate whether it is necessary to replant or receive maintenance treatment.
