Brow plastic surgery

Treatment Effect

Short-term Effects

Shortly after eyebrow plastic surgery, the eyebrow shape improves significantly. For example, after brow lift or excision procedures, the position and contour of the eyebrows become more aligned with facial aesthetic standards, and the skin around the eyes is tightened and lifted to some extent. Following microblading or embroidery techniques, a clear and natural eyebrow shape is achieved immediately, saving time on daily makeup. After hair transplantation, the grafted follicles undergo a shedding phase, but once they survive, they begin to grow anew.

Long-term Effects

Over time, the results of brow lift and excision procedures are relatively long-lasting, effectively delaying aging of the eyebrow and eye area skin. The effects of microblading and embroidery gradually fade as pigment is metabolized but can be maintained through color touch-ups. Transplanted hair growth is permanent; newly grown eyebrows grow naturally like normal hair and require regular trimming.

Is this suitable for me?

Select Equipment

- Eyebrow tattooing and embroidery equipment: High-quality embroidery tools should offer stable needle frequency and consistent force to precisely control the amount and depth of pigment injection. Common brands include South Korean permanent makeup machines and professional German tattoo devices. When selecting, prioritize equipment accuracy, safety, and durability.

- Eyebrow implantation equipment: Advanced follicle extraction and implantation tools are essential for achieving optimal eyebrow transplant results. For instance, follicle extraction devices must accurately and gently extract hair follicles, while implantation pens should precisely control the direction and depth of follicle placement. Notable brands on the market include U.S.-based follicle extraction systems and Israeli follicle implantation devices.

- Brow Embroidery and Tattooing Equipment: High-quality brow embroidery and tattooing equipment should feature stable needle frequency and force, enabling precise control over pigment injection volume and depth. Common brands include Korean semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing devices and professional German tattooing machines. When selecting, prioritize equipment precision, safety, and durability.

- Brow Implantation Equipment: Advanced follicle extraction and implantation devices are crucial for optimal brow implantation results. For instance, follicle extraction tools should accurately and non-invasively harvest follicles, while implantation pens must precisely control follicle direction and depth. Currently, well-known brands in the market include American follicle extraction systems and Israeli follicle implantation devices.

Price

Price

The cost of eyebrow整形 varies significantly depending on the procedure:

- Microblading and embroidery: Prices typically range from a few hundred to several thousand South Korean won. Standard microblading is generally more affordable, costing between 30,000 to 1,500,000 KRW, while semi-permanent eyebrow embroidery using imported pigments and advanced techniques may cost between 1,500,000 to 5,000,000 KRW.

- Brow lift and excision surgery: Surgical fees usually fall between 2,000,000 and 8,000,000 KRW, with the final price influenced by the surgical method, hospital tier, and the surgeon's experience.

- Eyebrow transplantation: Pricing is calculated based on the number of graft units transplanted, with each unit costing between 8,000 to 20,000 KRW. A single eyebrow transplant procedure typically ranges from 2,000,000 to 8,000,000 KRW.

Expected Outcome

Expected Results

Before undergoing eyebrow reshaping surgery, it is essential to communicate thoroughly with your doctor to understand the expected outcomes of the procedure or treatment. The results vary depending on the specific eyebrow enhancement method chosen:

Microblading and embroidery: These techniques can create natural, long-lasting eyebrow shapes. However, the results will gradually fade over time and require regular touch-ups.

Brow lift and excision surgery: These procedures effectively improve eyebrow shape and lift the eye area. Post-operatively, some swelling and a recovery period are common, and final results typically become fully visible after several weeks to months.

Brow transplantation: Newly grown eyebrows require time to adapt and develop. Hair growth usually begins 3 to 6 months after surgery, with final results achieved between 9 and 12 months, resulting in natural and dense eyebrows.

Combination Therapy

Brow plastic surgery can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve better overall facial improvement:

  • Combined with eye surgery: For example, a brow lift can be performed simultaneously with double eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty to improve brow shape while enhancing the appearance of the eyes.
  • Combined with facial lifting: A brow lift can be performed in conjunction with thread lifting or facelift surgery to enhance facial tightening and lifting effects.
  • Combined with skin beauty treatments: After eyebrow tattooing, it can be combined with skin whitening or skin rejuvenation procedures to achieve a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing facial complexion.

Adverse Effects and Complications

Side Effects and Complications

Microblading and embroidery: Localized redness, swelling, pain, and allergic reactions may occur. In severe cases, complications such as pigment deposition and infection can arise. Additionally, if the technician lacks sufficient skill, issues like asymmetrical eyebrow shape and uneven color distribution may occur.

Brow lift and incision techniques: Post-operative swelling, bruising, and pain are common and typically subside within a few days. In rare cases, complications such as wound infection, scar tissue overgrowth, or asymmetrical eyebrow shape may develop.

Brow transplantation: Mild swelling, pain, and inflammatory responses around the hair follicles may occur after surgery and usually resolve on their own within about a week. Improper surgical technique can lead to low follicle survival rates or inconsistent eyebrow growth direction.

Select Instrument

Selecting the Instrument

Aside from the eyebrow tattooing, microblading, and hair implantation equipment mentioned earlier, please consider the following points when selecting an instrument:

- Check certifications and qualifications: Ensure the instrument has been certified and tested by relevant authorities, meeting safety and quality standards.

- Understand performance and specifications: Different instruments may vary in functionality and performance; choose one that best fits your needs and the doctor's recommendations.

- Evaluate brand reputation: Opt for instruments from well-known brands with positive customer reviews, as they offer better quality assurance and after-sales service.

Side effects

Side Effects

In addition to the localized redness, swelling, pain, infection, and other side effects mentioned earlier, brow plastic surgery may also lead to psychological side effects. For instance, dissatisfaction with the surgical outcome can result in emotional issues such as anxiety and low self-esteem. Therefore, it is essential to fully understand the risks and expected results of the procedure before surgery and to prepare mentally.

Self-Symptom Check

Self-Diagnosis of Symptoms

After brow plastic surgery, seek medical attention promptly if you experience any of the following symptoms:

- Localized redness, swelling, and intensifying pain that persists for an extended period may indicate infection.

- Bleeding or fluid discharge from the wound, or systemic symptoms such as fever, may suggest a serious infection or other complications.

- Obvious asymmetry in brow shape or abnormal discoloration may result from improper surgical technique or complications during recovery.

Select treatment plan

Select a Treatment Plan

Based on the patient's eyebrow condition, facial features, and personal needs, the physician will design a personalized treatment plan. When choosing a treatment plan, patients should communicate thoroughly with the doctor to understand the advantages, disadvantages, and risks of each option:

For eyebrow excision and brow lift procedures, it is important to know the incision location, the amount of skin to be removed, and the surgical technique (such as traditional brow excision or minimally invasive brow lift, etc.).

For eyebrow tattooing and embroidery, select pigment colors and tattooing techniques that match your skin tone and eyebrow shape (such as powder brows, hair stroke brows, etc.).

For eyebrow transplantation, determine the number of follicles to be transplanted, as well as the planting density and direction.
