Eyebrow Hair Transplant in Maryland — Mane Center
Eyebrow Restoration in Chevy Chase, MD
Eyebrow Restoration
Eyebrows are an essential and prominent feature of the face. Usually, we rely on makeup and even eyebrow tattoos to fill up our eyebrows. However, with the advancement of medical science, eyebrow transplant has become a popular procedure and a more effective solution. An eyebrow hair transplant is a cosmetic procedure where hair grafts (plugs) are transferred to your brow area using your own hair. New hairs will grow from these grafts, thus producing a complete and natural look.
Eyebrow Restoration Methods
Our eyebrow restoration methods include techniques like Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), in which our expert hair surgeon in Maryland Dr. Douglas Burka moves individual hairs from an area of greater density on your scalp or body to your eyebrows.
With your opinions and ideas, our experts will personally design your eyebrows to achieve your desired look.
Candidates suitable for eyebrow transplantation include people with:
- Naturally thin eyebrows.
- Hair loss is not occurring due to a medical condition.
- Severe hair loss due to over-plucking/ harsh chemical products.
An eyebrow transplant is not advisable if you have:
What to expect during the procedure?
Our hair surgeon Dr. Douglas Burka will review the following:
- Medical record
- Past and present medical conditions.
- Medication history
- Previous surgeries
- Allergies
- Eyebrow history (plucking, tweezing, tattooing).
- Scalp examination to determine the quality, density, and texture of your hair, as well as the number of grafts potentially required for desirable results.
Additionally, you will need to collaborate with our team to:
- Discuss your reasons for having an eyebrow transplant.
- Review your expectations with the surgery regarding your appearance.
- Take photographs as a part of your medical record.
- View and analyze approved before and after photos of the previous patients.
Preparing for eyebrow hair transplant
Certain tests will be performed depending on your age and health conditions.
Things to avoid before your eyebrow hair transplant:
- Smoking: Stop smoking a few days before and during the recovery procedure. Smoking reduces blood flow, slows the healing process, and heightens the risk of tissue damage. Not smoking would help you optimize your postoperative results, thus helping you heal quickly.
- Certain medications: Certain medications should be strictly avoided before and during the procedure, such as, but not limited to, aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, herbal supplements to prevent excess bleeding. You need to bring along a relative or friend who would drop you off, pick you up from our clinic, and stay with you during at least the first night of the surgery. If you prefer privacy, then we will provide you with a professional caregiver for your postoperative care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Eyebrow Restoration
Will my results look natural?
Our surgeon Dr. Burka is fully experienced and takes care to place all the hair follicles in the proper direction and angle to achieve natural-looking results.
Can I design and change the shape of my eyebrows?
Yes, absolutely! You will be asked about your desired expectations regarding your eyebrow transplantation. Our surgeons can increase the width, height, length, density and change the shape (straight, curved, high arch, soft arch, upward, and “s” shaped) to match your idea of the perfect brow.
What is the recovery period?
The recovery period for an eyebrow transplant is comparatively fast. There can be some scabbing around the brows for the first few days, which should not be picked at. Also, it will help if you avoid strenuous exercise up to 3 weeks after your surgery. Contact your surgeon if you experience any bleeding, swelling, or pus at the operation site.
You will notice the transplanted hairs falling out after a few weeks. This is totally normal because of the natural hair cycle process. Patients typically begin to see hair growth 3-4 months after the procedure.
Will I be under anesthesia or medication during the procedure?
This is an in-office procedure, and our team can keep you very comfortable by using appropriate medications.
What is eyebrow restoration?

Is the procedure painful?

Dr. Burka is very knowledgeable and honest. This is refreshing in the hair industry. He did a great job with my transplant (I added the robot option). I could not recommend him further.

Dr. Burka and his staff did an amazing job of explaining all of the options for hair restoration and the pros/cons of each. They listened to my questions and needs and helped design a specific treatment plan without prescribing or forcing any specific procedure. Additionally Dr. Burka responded to my email questions prior to choosing to work with him. Highly recommend just for a consultation and certainly for any treatment as well.

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. Initially, I consulted with 7 different hair transplant clinics in the NoVa/DMV area and felt that Dr. Burka was the most understanding and least salesy. During our initial free in-person consultation, he really took the time to listen to my unique situation and carefully explain all my options to achieve my goals (In comparison, most others offered virtual or rushed in-person consultations with cookie-cutter recommendations of ~2000 graft FUE and no supplementary treatments). Further, Dr. Burka’s holistic approach – including medication and specialized Alma TED treatments prior to the surgery – have really improved the efficacy of my hair transplant. Even if you live farther away from his clinic (I live ~45mins away) you won’t regret the extra travel time.Now about the hair transplant itself: I did a 4500 graft FUT which is relatively more gnarly with the incision. Dr. Burka was very meticulous, and his team ensured I was comfortable throughout the day and felt as little pain as possible. The techs who harvested then placed the grafts clearly knew exactly what they were doing and were very friendly. They actually harvested more grafts than we anticipated, but didn’t rush anything and stayed until past 7pm to make sure everything went smoothly and all the grafts were placed correctly. Everyone involved was super professional and went above & beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that I’d get the best results possible.My followup appointments for the first hair wash & stitches removal went smoothly since Dr. Burka provided very clear instructions that I followed. I’m about 3 weeks post-surgery now and everything seems to be going according to plan. I was expecting more shedding of the newly implanted grafts at this stage, but the ALMA TED treatment I got on Dr. Burka’s recommendation seems to have minimized the shedding. I’m very grateful for his uniquely well-informed advice (no other clinic in the area provided me this insight) and look forward to seeing results gradually over the coming months.Last but not least – Dr. Burka’s team is super talented and friendly. Sarah and Valerie are awesome and make me feel welcome every appointment. I can’t thank you all enough for helping me restore my hair and confidence. I look forward to coming for routine checkups in the following months!
