Hello Dr. I was recently diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis in my left eyebrow, in which I have lost a lot of hair density. I was wondering how long I should wait to see if the hairs come back? As a general rule of thumb what is the standard time I should allow them before determining they wont grown back and opting for a brow transplant? Thanks!
Many patients who suffer from eyebrow hair loss find hair transplantation may be a good option. Generally, I would wait at least one year to see if your eyebrows would naturally regrow before considering a transplant. You should also realize that when you transplant scalp hair to the eyebrow, the hairs will continue to grow like scalp hair. In other words, you would need to trim your eyebrow every week or so. You may also need more than one surgery to achieve the “perfect” eyebrow.
