Tattoo and Eyebrow Transplant
Eyebrows are an important part of the face and the beauty of the human face, and their shape and volume play a key role in defining and expressing facial expressions. Therefore, many people are looking for ways to improve the appearance of their eyebrows. Two common methods to increase the beauty and thickness of eyebrows include tattooing (micropigmentation) and eyebrow transplantation. In this article, we will fully review these two methods, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and the important points that should be considered.
Eyebrow tattoo (micropigmentation)
In the following, we will examine the nature and function of eyebrow tattoos to change the shape and thickness of the empty eyebrow areas:
A. Definition and working method
Eyebrow tattoo or micropigmentation is a semi-permanent method to change the shape, and color, and fill the empty areas of the eyebrow. In this method, fine needles are used to inject pigments into the skin’s surface layers. This technique helps people have eyebrows that have the desired shape and volume. This method is done in two main ways:
Classic eyebrow tattoo: In this method, pigments are injected completely in the desired shape on the skin.
Microblading: This method is done manually using a special pen, and lines similar to eyebrow threads are drawn with higher accuracy.
B. Benefits of eyebrow tattoos in Iran
Fast results: Immediately after the tattoo, the changes in the eyebrows are visible.
Eyebrow reshaping: Tattooing can be beneficial for people with asymmetrical or incomplete eyebrows.
Suitable for people with hair loss problems: A tattoo is a good option for people who have sparse or empty eyebrows due to diseases or genetic conditions.
Easy maintenance and repair: If the tattoo fades over time, it can be easily repaired.
C. Disadvantages of eyebrow tattoo
Limited durability: Due to the introduction of pigments into the surface layers of the skin, the eyebrow tattoo does not last forever and usually needs to be repaired after 1 to 3 years.
Color change over time: In some cases, the tattoo color changes over time and may turn to colors like blue or green.
Possibility of allergic reactions: Some people may be allergic to the pigments used in the tattoo and experience allergic reactions.
Limitations in shape modification: After tattooing, it is not easy to change the shape or design of the eyebrow, and if the results are unfavorable, it is difficult to remove or change it.
Need for expertise and experience: tattooing requires high skill and if it is done by a non-professional person, the final results may not be satisfactory.

2. Eyebrow transplant in Shiraz (Iran)
In the following, we will examine the nature and function of eyebrow transplantation in Iran to change the shape and thickness of the empty eyebrow areas:
A. Definition and working method
Eyebrow transplant in Shiraz is a permanent procedure for fuller eyebrows in which natural hairs from other areas of the body (usually from the back of the head) are transferred to the eyebrow area. These hairs are planted one by one with great care in the direction of natural eyebrow growth. Eyebrow transplant is similar to a hair transplant and there are two main ways to do it:
FUE method (follicular unit extraction): In this method, individual hair follicles are removed from the donor area and implanted in the eyebrow.
FUT method (follicular strip transfer): In this method, a strip of skin is removed from the back of the head and its follicles are extracted and implanted in the eyebrow.
B. Advantage of eyebrow transplant in Shiraz
Permanent results: Unlike tattooing, which is semi-permanent, eyebrow transplants have permanent results and the implanted hairs grow naturally.
Natural appearance: the implanted hairs look very natural and are implanted in the direction of the natural growth of the eyebrows.
Ability to modify and change: After eyebrow implantation, the eyebrow hairs can be shortened or their shape can be changed.
Restoration of damaged eyebrows: eyebrow transplantation is suitable for people who have thin eyebrows hair or incomplete eyebrows due to various reasons such as injuries, diseases, or genetic damage.
C. Disadvantages of eyebrow transplant
Long process: Eyebrow transplantation is a surgical procedure that takes time and requires post-operative care.
High cost: Eyebrow transplantation is more expensive than tattooing and requires specialized surgeries.
Risks of surgery: Like any other surgery, eyebrow transplantation also with risks such as infection, bleeding, and scarring.
The final results are visible after a few months: after implantation, the hair first falls out and then grows back; Therefore, the final results can be seen a few months after the operation.
Continuous hair growth: Transplanted hairs are transplanted from the scalp to the eyebrows and may grow continuously like scalp hair, so it requires regular trimming.
D. Recovery process and care after eyebrow transplant
After the eyebrow transplant, the eyebrow area may be swollen or bruised, which usually heals within a few days. Important points that must be observed during the recovery period:
Avoid touching or rubbing the implanted area.
Avoid intense physical activities that cause sweating.
Use medications prescribed by a doctor to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
Follow the doctor’s instructions for proper care and washing the implanted area.
3. Comparison of eyebrow tattoos and eyebrow transplants in Iran
Eyebrow tattooing and eyebrow transplants are two popular ways to improve the appearance of eyebrows, but there are major differences in the results and methods of doing them. Eyebrow tattooing is a semi-permanent method in which the shape and form of the eyebrows are designed using pigments, while eyebrow transplantation is a more permanent method and involves natural hair transplantation to the eyebrow area. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them depends on the individual’s taste, needs and goals. In the table below, we briefly mention these items.

Is it possible to do eyebrow transplantation with an eyebrow tattoo?
Yes, it is possible to have an eyebrow implant even with an eyebrow tattoo. However, there are some points and challenges in this situation that should be noted:
If the tattoo is done correctly and its color is natural and close to the color of the eyebrow hair, eyebrow transplantation can help to improve the thickness and make the appearance of the eyebrow more natural even on the tattoo. But if your tattoo has an unnatural color (such as green or blue) or does not match the color of the eyebrow hair, the final result may not look very natural. Also, implanted hairs are usually able to cover the previous tattoo, especially if the density of implantation is high. This can help people who are not satisfied with the appearance of their tattoos.
If your tattoo is not in the right place or the right shape, it may first be necessary to modify or even remove the tattoo to match the new shape of the eyebrows with the implant. But generally, because the skin when we perform the tattoo removal process may be stiffer or changed compared to the natural skin, and this issue can make implantation a little more difficult, expert doctors suggest that implantation be done at first. It should be done and after 3 to 6 months (completing the recovery period and ensuring hair regrowth), remove the tattoo if needed.
In general, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist before doing an eyebrow transplant. Your doctor can evaluate the current state of the tattoo and the feasibility of implantation and suggest the best solutions to achieve natural and desired results.
Conclusion
Both eyebrow tattooing and eyebrow transplantation in Iran are effective ways to increase the beauty and thickness of eyebrows. Eyebrow tattooing is a quick and inexpensive procedure that offers semi-permanent results, while eyebrow implants are a more permanent and natural solution, but require more time and money. The choice between these two methods depends on the needs, preferences, and budget of each person. However, consulting with experienced doctors and knowing the steps and risks of each method can help make a better decision.
