Although eyebrow transplantation is not a major surgical procedure, it is performed on the face and thus requires careful attention to various considerations. Otherwise, unsatisfactory results may compromise the overall facial aesthetics. Below are important preoperative precautions for eyebrow transplantation—please take note.
Pre-operative Considerations for Eyebrow Transplantation:
1. Avoid taking aspirin-containing medications for two weeks prior to surgery, as aspirin reduces platelet clotting function;
2. Patients with hypertension or diabetes must fully disclose their medical history during the initial consultation to enable the attending physician to confirm the surgical plan;
3. Ensure good overall health with no infectious diseases or active inflammation prior to surgery;
4. Refrain from applying makeup before the procedure;
5. Women should schedule surgery outside menstrual and lactation cycles;
6. Shower before surgery to maintain cleanliness of the scalp and head;
7. Design your desired eyebrow shape yourself or with a professional stylist.
