Enhancing eyebrows boosts confidence
The eyebrows are often likened to the crown of the face for many women, hence, they aspire to have naturally beautiful eyebrows to add dimension to their faces. Therefore, there are techniques for eyebrow shaping and tattooing to mimic natural eyebrows. However, regardless of these techniques, it’s still challenging to achieve a completely natural look. Moreover, sometimes eyebrow tattoo may lead to a loss of confidence. For example, overly thick eyebrows with dark colors can make the face look harsh. Sometimes, fine lines may result in an unbalanced facial proportion. There may be issues with fading in certain areas, leading to uneven eyebrows. Additionally, the ink used for tattoo may change color over time, turning from brown to red or yellow, which can make the eyebrows appear unnatural.
Drawing eyebrows is another method that many people choose to use
However, there are drawbacks to eyebrow drawing. It can be time-consuming and may not be suitable for people with limited time. Additionally, it may not be suitable for individuals who sweat a lot, enjoy exercising, or swimming, as sweat and water can cause the drawn eyebrows to smudge or disappear. Moreover, eyebrow drawing may not be very practical in Thailand, especially during the rainy season when rain can cause the drawn eyebrows disappear as well. This can lead to a loss of confidence for those who have sparse eyebrows.
For men, eyebrows are also important for enhancing their look, making them appear more masculine
However, most men often find it inconvenient to groom or draw their eyebrows, so nowadays we have a new option that meets the needs of men for natural-looking eyebrows. That is eyebrow transplantation, which thickens and lengthens the eyebrows, indicating masculinity and adding ruggedness to the face, making it appear more dimensional.
Eyebrow transplantation is the most natural way to add dimension to your eyebrows because it involves using hair follicles from the back of your own head and transplanting them into the eyebrow area, following the natural direction of your existing eyebrows. After the transplantation, your eyebrows will have a clearer, more defined shape that looks natural. One significant advantage is that it’s a permanent solution; the transplanted eyebrows will continue to grow without the need for further procedures.
The difference between eyebrow tattoo and eyebrow transplant
| Difference | Eyebrow tattoo | Eyebrow Transplant |
|---|---|---|
| Naturalness | If you get your eyebrows done by an experienced technician, they can make them look natural. But if you go to someone with less experience, your eyebrows might end up too thick, too dark, or too sharply defined, making them look unnatural. | Eyebrow transplant is performed by a specialized doctor who extracts hair from the back of the head and implants it into the eyebrows. This procedure results in the most natural-looking eyebrows. |

| Pain | Eyebrow tattoo requires applying numbing cream | During eyebrow transplantation, local anesthesia is used through injection, providing a sensation only during the injection process. Throughout the actual transplantation, there is no discomfort or pain. |
| Recovery period | No recovery time | No recovery time. There may be minimal swelling. You can resume normal activities. |
| Results | It's not permanent | Permanent |

Women's Eyebrow Transplant
In women’s eyebrow transplant, there are four techniques used to implant the eyebrows.
Technique 1: Defining the three points of the eyebrows.
- Point 1 The beginning of the eyebrows
Start by drawing an imaginary line passing through the middle point of the nostril
- Point 2 The highest point of the eyebrows
Measure from the nostril to the pupil. - Point 3 The end of the eyebrow
Measure from the nostril to the outer corner of the eye.
Setting these three points helps ensure that the eyebrows have a soft, feminine arch and are the appropriate length for the face, maintaining a natural curve.
Technique 2: Establishing the head of the eyebrows to be larger than the middle part.
Establishing the head of the eyebrow is crucial for the overall appearance. If the head of the eyebrow is the largest part, it will ensure that the eyebrows are in proportion, creating a beautiful look. Therefore, during eyebrow transplantation, it’s important to be cautious and ensure that the head of the eyebrow is not smaller than the other parts, as this can give an angry or displeased look.
Technique 3: Determining the density of the eyebrows.
The head of the eyebrow should have the lowest density, gradually increasing towards the middle. Resulting in eyebrows that look full and natural.
The key is to gradually increase the density during eyebrow transplantation. Uniform thickness throughout the entire eyebrow can result in an unnatural.
Technique 4: Defining the tail of the eyebrows.
The tail of the eyebrows should be proportionate to the head of the eyebrows, slightly higher. If the tail is positioned lower than the level of the head, it can make the face appear sad and aged.
Men's Eyebrow Transplant
In men’s eyebrow transplant, there are four techniques used to implant the eyebrows.
Technique 1: Men with a round face
Men with round faces should avoid arched eyebrows and opt for eyebrows with slight angles instead. This helps create a sharper, more mature look. Alternatively, they can choose straight eyebrows to maintain balanced proportions.
Technique 2: Men with an oval face
Men with an oval or slightly elongated face shape should opt for straight eyebrows. Straight eyebrows create horizontal lines, shortening the appearance of the lower part of the face and improving overall facial proportions.
Technique 3: Men with the heart-shaped face
Men with a heart-shaped face, the face will have both curves and angles. It is recommended to shape the eyebrows with a slight curve to avoid a stiff appearance. However, the curve should be subtle, not as pronounced as for women, as this can give a more feminine look.
Technique 4: Men with a Square Face Shape
Men with a square face shape have pronounced angles and a well-defined jawline. It is recommended to shape the eyebrows with a curve, as this can soften the angular appearance of the face. Curved eyebrows can make the face look less severe and more approachable.
Methods for Measuring Eyebrows
In general, our facial features may have slight differences. Eyebrows can vary in height and symmetry. Eyebrow transplantation can adjust and make the eyebrows symmetrical on both sides by using three points on the face.
Line 1: Front to median line(FML) is an imaginary line drawn centrally on the forehead, extending between the eyebrows and continuing to the central axis of the nose.
Line 2: The imaginary horizontal line passing through the highest points of both eyebrows.
Line 3: The imaginary horizontal line passing through the lowest points of the eyebrow heads. These three lines collectively aid in achieving the most symmetrical and proportionate eyebrow design.
Preparation Before Eyebrow Transplant.
In cases where there’s existing eyebrow tattoo but dissatisfaction with the original shape, laser removal might be considered. The effectiveness of laser removal depends on the intensity and type of ink used for tattoo. You can then choose the desired eyebrow shape based on your facial structure. Consulting with a physician to design new eyebrows together is advisable. Additionally, it’s recommended to abstain from taking vitamins for 7 days prior to the eyebrow transplantation procedure to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
