Treatment Overview
The Over-Plucked Brow Restoration Transplant is a specialized eyebrow FUE procedure designed to rebuild eyebrows that have become thin, patchy, or uneven due to years of over-plucking or aggressive shaping.
Korean clinics use ultra-fine, single-hair grafting techniques to restore the natural thickness and structure of brows, creating a fuller, healthier, and more aesthetically balanced appearance.
Purpose & Benefits
This treatment focuses on reversing long-term damage caused by excessive tweezing, waxing, threading, or repeated shaping.
Key benefits include:
- Restores natural brow density lost to chronic plucking.
- Corrects thinning, gaps, and over-arched shapes.
- Creates a fuller, youthful eyebrow design that suits your facial proportions.
- Permanent, natural results — unlike tattooing or microblading.
- Uses fine grafts for soft, realistic eyebrow texture.
- Minimal downtime and quick healing.
Ideal Candidates
You are an ideal candidate if you:
- Have thin, sparse, patchy, or “missing” eyebrows from years of over-plucking.
- Want to restore your brows to a natural thickness or shape.
- Prefer a permanent, natural solution over pigments or makeup.
- Have healthy donor hair available for FUE extraction.
- Desire Korean-style eyebrow artistry and precision.
- Want eyebrows that look natural even close up.
Possible Risks & Complications
This procedure is safe and gentle, but mild temporary effects can occur:
- Light swelling or slight redness for 2–3 days.
- Small scabs for 3–7 days.
- Mild itching during early healing.
- Shedding of transplanted hairs during weeks 2–4 (normal cycle).
- Rare coarse hair growth — manageable with trimming.
Techniques & Technology Used
- Micro-FUE Extraction: Hairs are taken using 0.6–0.8 mm punches for minimal scarring.
- Angle-Controlled Implantation: Follicles placed at shallow angles for natural brow direction.
- Soft Hair Selection: Only the thinnest hairs are harvested for eyebrow use.
- Customized Brow Mapping: Rebuilds the brow’s original shape or upgrades to a better, more balanced design.
- Optional PRP Therapy: Promotes faster healing and accelerates initial growth.
