Eyebrows are the most important detail that determines the architecture of your face and adds meaning to your gaze. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique is one of the most commonly used methods in eyebrow transplantation to achieve natural and bushy eyebrows that strengthen expression.
In this method, single hair follicles taken from the scalp are transplanted into the eyebrow area. The FUE technique can be applied in two different ways: Classic FUE Eyebrow Transplant and Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant.
In both methods, follicular units are taken one by one and placed in the eyebrow area. However. There are some important differences in terms of the technique used during the procedure and surgical planning.
These differences will help you choose the most suitable method for your needs:
1. Length of the Hair Strand
- Classic FUE Eyebrow Transplant: The hair in the donor area is shaved very short before the procedure. Therefore, only the follicle part of the hair follicles to be transplanted is seen.
- Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant: In this technique, the hair strands are taken without cutting, i.e. long. This allows the physician to directly assess the natural curl and direction of the hair during the procedure.
2. Visibility of the Hair Curl
Eyebrow hairs do not grow straight; they grow in different directions in each area and often show a slight curve.
- Classic FUE Since the hair is shaved, the natural curl of the hair strand cannot be seen during the procedure.
- Long Hair FUE: The curve and direction of the hair shaft can be seen. This can be particularly advantageous for mimicking the natural flow of the eyebrow.
3. Creating the Natural Eyebrow Direction
The most important element that makes the eyebrow look natural is the placement of the hairs in the right direction and angle.
- Classic FUE The physician estimates the direction according to the follicle structure.
- Long Hair FUE: Since the direction of the hair strand can be seen, a more controlled placement can be made.
4- Unshaved Process
- Aesthetic Evaluation During the Procedure
- Classic FUE Because the hair is short, it is more limited to assess the final appearance of the eyebrow during the procedure.
- Long Hair FUE: Thanks to the long hair strands, the general appearance and direction of the eyebrow can be better evaluated during the procedure.
5. Natural Result Potential
Successful results can be achieved with both methods. However, it is obvious that the Long Hair technique can help optimize the natural appearance, especially in applications where the direction is critical, such as eyebrow transplantation.
Classic FUE vs Long Hair FUE
| Feature | Classic FUE | Long Hair FUE |
|---|---|---|
| Donor Hair Length | Shaved | Long |
| Is Hair Curl Visible? | No. | Yes |
| Direction Control | Predictive | Can be seen more clearly |
| Aesthetic Evaluation During the Procedure | Limited | Much easier |
