Hair transplantation using long hair follicular unit excision technique in scarring alopecia of eyebrow: A case report

Abstract

Hair transplantation remains a safe treatment option for patients who either desire to make the eyebrows appear fuller or the need to restore facial aesthetics in cases with scarring, as eyebrows constitute a prominent feature of the face. The increased aversion to undergoing head shaving due to occupational, social, and/or personal reasons in many patients, has led to the increased demand of non-shaven/long hair follicular unit excision (NSFUE) technique. With the advent of this technique, surgery is unnoticeable and a preview of upcoming results is achieved immediately after the procedure. With only a handful cases reported in world literature, we report the successful outcome of eyebrow transplantation using the NS-FUE technique in a 25-year-old female with post-traumatic scarring alopecia of eyebrow.
