Iranian Method in Eyebrow Transplantation

What is FUT Eyebrow Transplant (Iranian Method)?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) eyebrow transplantation is a well-established restoration method based on the principle of transplanting follicular units taken from the scalp to the eyebrow area.

In the traditional FUT procedure, a thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area at the back of the head. This tissue is carefully separated into single follicular units under special microscopes and placed on the eyebrow area to be transplanted.

FUT Eyebrow Transplant technique, especially in the field of eyebrow transplantation “The Iranian way” also known as.

How is Eyebrow Transplantation Performed with FUT (Iranian Method)?

FUT eyebrow transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia or sedation for maximum patient comfort and consists of the following basic stages

1. Eyebrow Analysis and Design:

In the first stage, facial anatomy, eyebrow symmetry and the patient's aesthetic expectations are evaluated. A personalized design is created by determining the starting point, curve structure and end point of the eyebrow.

2. Tissue Harvesting from the Donor Site:

A thin strip of skin is removed from the donor area at the back of the head (usually between the top of the ear and the nape).

3. Preparation of the grafts under the microscope:

The tissue is meticulously separated into single follicular units under a microscope. For a natural look, grafts containing single hair follicles are generally preferred.

4. Microchannel Opening:

In the eyebrow area, microchannels are created at very low angles in accordance with the natural growth direction of the existing hairs.

5. Graft Placement:

The prepared follicular units are placed into the channels in accordance with the natural architecture and flow of the eyebrow.

Average Tissue Measurements in FUT Eyebrow Transplantation

Since 150-400 grafts are sufficient in most eyebrow transplant cases, the strip of tissue removed from the donor area is kept quite small.

Length It is about 2-4 cm long.
Width It is approximately 3-6 mm.

Since the tissue size is small, the linear (horizontal) scar that may occur can usually be easily hidden between the hairs. The length of the tissue to be removed may vary depending on the number of grafts required, donor hair density, hair thickness, the size of the planned area and whether a single eyebrow or two eyebrows will be transplanted.

Why is FUT Eyebrow Transplant Known as the “Iranian Method”?

The first examples of the widespread use of the FUT technique in eyebrow transplantation were seen especially in hair restoration centers in Iran. For this reason, it has come to be known as the “Iranian eyebrow transplant method” in some clinics and among the public. However, this is not a separate surgical procedure; it is a version of the FUT technique specially adapted to eyebrow transplantation.

Reasons Why FUT Eyebrow Transplant is Popular Again

Although it was less preferred for a while with the widespread use of the FUE method, some surgeons have started to re-evaluate the FUT technique due to the unique advantages it offers. The main reasons for this are as follows:

Very Fine Graft Preparation:

Since the grafts are separated under the microscope, it is easier to obtain single and very thin follicular units.

Less
Graft Damage:

During microscopic dissection, the follicles can be separated in a much more controlled manner.

Superior
Direction Control:

The ability to prepare thin single grafts makes it easier to create the natural architecture and flow of the brow.

High
Graft Quality:

Root integrity can be preserved much better and high quality grafts can be obtained.

When Is FUT Eyebrow Transplant Preferable?

Although FUE and Long Hair FUE techniques are more preferred today, the FUT method provides highly effective results in certain situations. It is especially preferred in the following cases:

When a very thin single graft is needed,
In regional eyebrow transplants where a limited number of grafts are required,
In special surgical situations where experienced physicians want to take advantage of microscopic dissection control.

1 Phase

Early Days

It is normal to see mild redness, minimal edema and small crusting in the transplanted area. These symptoms disappear in a short time.

2 Phase

2-3 Weeks - Natural Shedding Process

The transplanted hairs experience a temporary and natural shedding. The root structures of follicular units continue to maintain their vitality under the skin.

3 Phase

3-4 Months - Regrowth

New eyebrow hairs begin to grow from the roots that complete the resting phase. The first symptoms begin to be observed in this period.

4 Phase

6-12 Months - Final Result

The eyebrows regain their final density and permanent, natural appearance. The transplanted grafts reach full maturation.

Important Note

The post-operative process progresses in very clear stages and patients can return to their daily lives in a short time. Each stage may show individual differences; physician follow-up is of great importance in this process.
