Corrective work on bad brow-lift scar; Dr. Mike Beehner

[Dr. Michael Beehner]

This 51 y/o female presented 11 months ago for her initial hair tranpslant surgery to correct an obvious brow-lift scar that existed at the front hair line and extended down into both temple recession areas. She also had over-plucked her right eyebrow over the years and asked that we put 20-30 FU's into that area, which we did. (Final set of photos shows change over 11 months in that eyebrow.)

Her surgery consisted of 1256 FU's, dense-packed into the front hairline and temple areas. One photo shows the sites immediately after surgery. We used methylene blue dye to help mark the spots, which goes away within 2-3 days, but does give a darkish appearance to the sites. Her receipient sites were made exclusively with 0.8, 0.9, and 1.0mm custom lateral slit blades.

Before and after photos from various views are shown, along with the drawing of where we set the hairline. Note that we tried to take her flat front hairline contour and give it a little more forward, rounded, and flared appearance with a normal curve into the temples, taking away the male-appearing recessions. The patient was very pleased, and in two weeks will have a final session of around 1000 FU's to increase density and hopefully finish up the job.

Big improvement, I'm sure she is very pleased. Do you happen to have post-op photos of the eyebrow. It would be nice to see exactly were the hairs were placed.

[Dr. Michael Beehner]

Sorry, I didn't take a post-op photo of the eyebrows as I do on all of my full eyebrow cases. I can tell you that the 30 one-hair grafts that I did place were scattered into tiny areas that were thin or missing some "mass" of hairs. We will touch it up once more when she returns.

I have attached two photos of two different women, whose eyebrow transplant photos WERE taken immediately after surgery, in case you just wanted to see what eyebrow recipient sites looked like post-op the next day.
